With its intuitive adjustments and impressive coverage uniformity, the Rain Bird 32SA gear drive rotor will help you water all areas of your lawn evenly, reducing water use while giving you greener, healthier grass. The rotor adjusts easily at the top with a flat blade screwdriver to ensure that you're watering only things that grow, not the house, sidewalk, or driveway. Installation is simple: the 32SA mounts on a standard 1/2-inch riser for simple replacement of older rotors, and provides a true 4-inch pop-up height to clear taller grass. The rotor also includes a water-lubricated, gear-driven design that provides long-lasting dependability, along with a dual-action, positive-stop wiper seal that protects the internals from debris while assuring positive pop-up and retraction to save water.
Rain Curtain Nozzle Technology
Among the 32SA's rotor advances is its Rain Curtain nozzle design, which produces larger water droplets that fall exactly where you want them, resisting windblown overspray. The nozzle's "micro ramps" also direct a portion of the spray close to the head, eliminating the dry brown spots common with other brands. The nozzle's superior coverage uniformity helps you reduce watering time on your rotor zone, saving money on water bills.
Adjusting Arc
To set up the 32SA sprinkler's rotation (arc), turn on the water and rotate the shaft by hand to the right until it stops, and then to the left until it stops. That is your fixed left edge. Then turn the entire rotor until it is lined up with where you want the sprinkling pattern to start on that left edge. The rotor is preset at the factory to rotate 180 degrees from that left starting point. To change the arc from its preset rotation, make final adjustments with the top screw using a screwdriver, increasing or decreasing as desired.
Adjustable Spray Distance
The rotor comes with a 3.0 GPM nozzle rated to a throw distance of up to 32 feet at common residential water pressure (45 PSI). You can reduce throw distance up to 35 percent by turning the screw located above the nozzle using a flat blade screwdriver.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.
You can trust this review, i hope you can try to buy this product and then you know this product good or no. Next time you can make a review for another people.
Short Life Span
I have 27 32SA sprinkler heads. Two years ago I repalced 25 of them. Last year I had to replace 22 of the 27. This year another 23 have stopped rotating. There is something wrong with the 32SA series. Maybe Rainbird wants people to replace them over and over again.
It is not my sprinkler system. I have a super fine system mesh filter so it is not debris. Not only was system off for winter, but I live in FL and it did not freeze here last year. My 12 42SA's have been running for over 5 years without a problem. The same goes for my 43 1800 spray heads. In 7 years, the only 1800 I had to replace was 1 that failed to retract and the lawn mover killed it.
So...
1800's good reliability
42SA's good reliability
32SA's piece of garbage. I have light bulbs that last longer. Stay away from the 32SA series.

Breaks easily
I will not purchase these again. Of the dozen or so I have used, and replaced over the last 4 years, I find the average life 3-6 months. Some will break the first time you clean the filter screen. Problem is screwing them in place without breaking the rotating center gear. Will still pop up, but not rotate. Weak and easially broken.
Rain Bird #32SA
This single nozzle Sprinkler functions better than the multi-nozzle sprinkler it replaced. But had to reduce the nozzle sizes to obtain more pressure in my excessive 10-sprinkler zone for these to work properly, as they require a bit more pressure to pop up than my previous Rain Birds. Apparently they have stronger springs. I get full coverage now that I changed to these Rain Bird 32Sa's.
