5000-series
Rain Curtain Nozzle Technology
Rain Curtain Nozzles standard on all 5000 Series Rotors
Large water droplets for greater wind resistance
Effective close-in watering
Even distribution over the entire radius
Tree of nozzles including four low angle (angle of trajectory 10°) and eight standard angle Rain Curtain Nozzles (angle of trajectory 25°) provides 25′ to 50′ (7.6m to 15.2m) distance of throw
Self-aligning nozzles
5000 / 5000+ Series
Engineered to be the Industry’s Most Reliable and Best Performing Rotor
Offering unmatched performance from 25′ to 50′, Rain Bird 5000 series rotors are ideal for residential, light commercial and commercial applications. By combining the industry’s only Triple-Blade Wiper Seal with unrivaled Rain Curtain™ nozzles, 5000 series rotors give you even coverage and enduring reliability that the best contractors demand.
Exclusive Triple Blade Wiper Seal
Providing seven times the leak protection of single-blade wiper seals, the Triple-Blade Wiper Seal makes 5000 rotors the most leak-resistant rotors on the market. Designed to keep water in and debris out, the Triple-Blade Wiper Seal saves you time and money—and it saves your reputation, too.

Dimensions
Pop-up height: Shrub; 4″ (10,2 cm); 6″ (15,2 cm); 12″ (30,5 cm)
Overall body height: Shrub: 7 3/4″ (19,7cm) 4″: 7 3/8″ (18, 5 cm); 6″: 9 5/8″ (24,5 cm); 12″: 16 7/8″ (42,9 cm)
Exposed surface diameter: 1 5/8″ (4,1 cm)
Note: Pop-up height measured from the cover to the nozzle. Overall body height is measured popped down
Optional PRS Feature
In-stem pressure regulator (PRS) reduces operating pressure to 45 psi (3,1 bar) for optimal nozzle performance
PRS saves water by:
Eliminating head-to-head pressure variations
Eliminating misting due to high pressure
Improving nozzle distribution uniformity by operating the nozzle at optimum pressure
Maintenance-free design can be easily retrofitted into existing 5000/5000+, T-Bird™ and Hunter® PGP™ (using UPG model) rotor cases without digging up the entire body
Pressure: 25-65 psi (1,7 to 4,5 bar)
