Rain Bird 8005 Pop-Up Rotor for parks, playing fields and large turf areas.

Rain Curtain nozzles provide long-range watering. Memory Arc restores the watering pattern if the turret is moved, while the non-strippable drive helps protect the mechanism from damage.

The nozzle choices provide an 11.9–24.7 metre radius. Radius is the distance from the sprinkler to the outer edge of the watering pattern. Operating pressure is 350–690 kPa.

Both arc stops adjust from the top using a slotted screwdriver, with the sprinkler running or switched off. Set a part circle from 50° to 330°, or a non-reversing full circle. Nozzles can be changed from the front without special tools. Choose the nozzle for both watering distance and arc so sprinklers on the same zone apply water at similar rates.

The SAM check device holds back up to 3.1 metres of elevation. A heavy-duty spring retracts the riser after watering.

The plastic riser raises the nozzle 127mm above the cover. The body is 257mm tall when retracted, with a 25mm (1") BSP female inlet.

Warranty: Five-year trade warranty.

✓ Product Type and Application
Rain Bird 8005 Pop-Up Rotor.

✓ Dimensions and Connection
Inlet: 25mm (1") BSP female.
Pop-up height: 127mm, measured to the nozzle centre.
Overall body height when retracted: 257mm.
Riser: plastic.

✓ Coverage and Spray Pattern
Radius: 11.9–24.7 metres across nozzle and pressure options. Radius is the distance from the sprinkler to the outer edge of the watering pattern.
Spray arc: 50°–330° part circle or 360° non-reversing full circle.
At the full-circle setting, the head continues turning in the same direction.

✓ Pressure & Flow
Operating pressure: 350–690 kPa.
Model-family flow range: 14.4–137.4 L/min; flow varies with nozzle and pressure.
See ‘Precipitation Rate’ below for how the arc setting affects the amount of water applied across the area.

✓ Nozzles and Performance
Nozzle trajectory: 25°.

Five supplied standard-flow nozzles.
Example comparison at 450 kPa, before radius reduction:
10 nozzle: 16.5 metre radius; 40.22 L/min.
12 nozzle: 18 metre radius; 47.81 L/min.
14 nozzle: 18.9 metre radius; 56.12 L/min.
16 nozzle: 20.1 metre radius; 62.77 L/min.
18 nozzle: 20.1 metre radius; 70.36 L/min.

✓ Radius Adjustment
The nozzle-retaining screw adjusts the watering distance. Use the nozzle size and pressure that suit the required coverage.

✓ Sprinkler Spacing
Spacing is the distance between neighbouring sprinklers.
For head-to-head coverage, each sprinkler throws water far enough to reach the next sprinkler. This overlap helps water the area between them evenly.
Use the actual watering distance after adjustment when planning the spacing.
A square layout places sprinklers on a square grid. A triangular layout uses staggered rows.

✓ Precipitation Rate
Precipitation rate describes how quickly water is applied across the area, measured in millimetres per hour.
For example, with the 10 nozzle at 450 kPa, a 180° half-circle arc and sprinklers spaced 16.5 metres apart:
Square layout: 18 mm/hour.
Triangular layout: 20 mm/hour.
At the same pressure, the same nozzle uses essentially the same flow whatever the arc setting. A smaller arc concentrates that water over a smaller area.
Different nozzle sizes can help balance watering between smaller and larger arcs, but they also change the watering distance. Choose nozzles that maintain head-to-head coverage; changing nozzle size alone may not suit an existing layout.
Where suitable nozzle combinations cannot provide similar watering rates, put sprinklers with different watering rates on separate zones so their run times can be set independently.

✓ Operation and Servicing
The SAM check device holds back up to 3.1 metres of elevation. Both arc stops adjust from the top, and a heavy-duty spring retracts the riser after watering.

✓ Supply Configuration
SAM check device is included.

✓ Warranty
Five-year trade warranty.
