That's a good question. Not something I haven't tried in all this time, but I'll be bold to say it should work considering it's the same design as rain bird but low end. you can take the guts from a maxi paw or mini paw and move them over to this canister. I advise that because the riser seal and sleeve nut are reputable for failing while rain bird uses an actual gasket that's more reliable.

This really isn't a good head. You're better off swaping the guts out with a 15103 rain bird mini paw, it's a better quality head.
Could a Rain Bird P5-R head work on this assembly?
