Relax with the knowledge your landscape is being watered by reliable 5000 PLUS Series Rotors and industry-leading Rain Curtain Nozzle Technology. Rain Bird® 5000 PLUS Series Rotors are ideal for medium to large size lawns and evenly distribute water from 7.5 to 15 metres.

5000 PLUS Series Rotors with Rain Curtain Technology are engineered to deliver a uniform spray pattern, giving you a consistently green lawn throughout.

The larger water droplets produced by Rain Curtain technology prevent misting and airborne evaporation so the right amount of water is delivered to the right place, saving you water and money.

Gentle close-in watering eliminates dry spots around the rotor, prevents seed washout and allows the turf to grow healthy with no matting or bending.

  • The 5000 Plus features a Flow Shut-Off device to stop the flow of water to a particular head while the system is still in operation.
  • Faster maintenance with a new self-cleaning arc adjustment screw.
  • Standard rubber cover for extra protection.
  • Heavy-duty cover assembly for extra durability.
  • Rain Curtain™ Nozzles.
  • Slip clutch mechanism for quick adjustment on installation.
  • Heavy-duty retract spring assures positive pop-down.
  • Top-adjust arc adjustment requiring only a flat-blade screwdriver.
  • 40 – 360° arc rotation and reversing full circle rotation in one.
  • Radius adjustment screw allows up to 25% radius reduction without changing nozzles.
  • Pressure-activated multi-function wiper seal protects internals from debris and assures positive pop-up and retraction.
  • Reinforced flow path for additional side load strength.
  • Additional O-rings and seals for extra protection in “gritty” water.
  • Optional Seal-A-Matic (SAM) check valve which prevents water from pooling at the base of slopes or hillsides.
  • Optional Pressure Regulating Stem (PRS) which regulates pressure at the head, assuring optimum performance.

Gear Drive Sprinklers FAQs

How do I adjust my gear drive sprinklers?

Most gear drives adjust the same way: Alter the spray radius by changing the nozzle, most sprinklers come with a nozzle rack. And, alter the spray radius using a gear drive adjustment tool or screw driver. Gear drive adjustment tools or spanners make adjusting much easier with the added function of being able to lift the sprinkler riser for simple adjustment.

What’s the best type of sprinkler for my garden?

There’s no best type of sprinkler, just better sprinklers for different applications. Gear Drives are better for large areas, over 5m. Pop-Ups are ideal for 1.5-5m & Micro sprays are excellent for anything under that.

What type of nozzles should I use?

The type of nozzle all depends on how far you need to spray, each nozzle is specified by the radius it sprays & the spray arc it provides (0-360 degrees). Aim to spray to the base of the next closest sprinkler for even watering. For more information on planning, check out our Product Guides.

How many sprinklers can I have on a single irrigation zone?

Each sprinkler & nozzle will push out water at different rates, but the key factor is the flow rate of your water supply. Work that out with a simple timed bucket test. From there, you can work out how much water each sprinkler you’re looking at uses & work within your flow limit. For more information, check our Product Guides.

Should I flush my watering system before running it?

As you install a system, it’s almost inevitable that small fragments of dirt will get into the pipe, for this reason you should always flush out the system before running it the first time. This can be done by leaving an open end at the farthest point of each irrigation zone & operating the zone for 15 or so seconds to flush it out. Then plug it up & you’re good to go! This can also be said for any other times dirt may have gotten into the system (eg: further irrigation repairs or a mains water supply fault).

Can I have drip tube & sprinklers on the same irrigation zone?

We definitely don’t recommend it. Typically, drip tube will deliver the water at a far slower rate that sprays. Because of this, if you were to have both on the same zone, the areas with drip would be left far drier than the areas with sprinkler coverage. If you do want to water some areas with drip & some with sprinklers, it can be done, but each will just need to be run on their own separate irrigation zones.

How far apart should I position my sprinklers from each other?

Firstly, each sprinkler &/or nozzle has a specified spray radius. Secondly, sprinklers are typically designed to deliver more water at their base & progressively less the further away you get. For this reason, you want to position sprinklers so they spray to hit the base of the next sprinkler. Of course this isn’t possible all the time so in those cases, aim to spray at least 80% of the way. By doing this you will guarantee even water across your lawn or garden.

Do I need a filter on my irrigation system?

Even on a typical domestic system running on mains water a filter is still a good idea. In the event of a water main fault where rubbish does find it’s way down the line, a filter will protect the system from blockage and or failure. On systems operating off recycled water, like from a tank, a screen filter is mandatory. Debris like silt & dirt from recycled water is the most common cause of blockages of failures in irrigation systems.
