Rain Bird 5000 PLUS gear drive sprinkler for lawn and commercial turf irrigation. Its adjustable rotating stream waters a part circle or full circle, with standard and low-angle nozzles supplied to suit different distances and flow requirements.
Rain Curtain nozzles produce large droplets that help resist wind drift and distribute water across the throw. Close-in watering helps cover the ground near the sprinkler, reducing dry patches around the head.
The heavy-duty plastic case protects the working parts, while the tapered stem and wiper seal help keep debris out as the sprinkler rises and retracts. A self-flushing arc adjustment port clears dirt from the adjustment slot during operation.
The supplied nozzles cover a 7.6–15.2 metre radius across the 170–450 kPa operating pressure range. Radius is the distance from the sprinkler to the outer edge of the watering pattern. Eight standard nozzles produce a 25° stream, while four low-angle nozzles produce a lower 10° stream.
The spray arc adjusts from 40° to 360° using a flat-blade screwdriver. The top adjustment screw lets you shorten the watering distance by up to 25%. The PLUS flow shutoff lets you stop water at the individual sprinkler for nozzle changes and servicing while the rest of the zone continues watering. Choose the nozzle for both watering distance and arc so sprinklers on the same zone apply water at similar rates.
The SAM check valve reduces drainage through lower sprinklers after watering, holding back at least 2.13 metres of elevation.
This 4-inch model has a plastic riser, a 20mm (3/4") female inlet and a retracted body height of 185mm. Supplied with eight standard and four low-angle nozzles.
Warranty: Five-year Rain Bird trade warranty.
