RAIN BIRD GOLF OFFERS EAGLE™ 351B ROTORS
FOR SHORT THROW APPLICATIONS

TUCSON, Ariz. (February 22, 2007) - Used to achieve greater short-throw coverage for tee-boxes and other small turf areas on golf courses, Rain Bird® Golf's EAGLE™ 351B Rotor Series is designed to provide superior water distribution and promote irrigation efficiency. To see the 351B Rotor Series in action, visit www.rainbird.com/eagle351b.

The EAGLE 351B is powered with rugged gear-drives and a unique nozzle design that ensures controlled and uniform precipitation on turf.  It has an 18- to 55-foot (5,5 - 16,8 m) radius of throw and operates at a pressure level from 60 to 90 psi (4,1 to 6,2 bars).  Because it provides full-circle and part-circle operation in one unit, the EAGLE 351B also reduces inventory requirements.  In addition, the EAGLE 351B has adjustable left and right side trips for ease of installation without turning the case.

"Superintendents no longer have to use commercial landscaping rotors in golf course applications," said Marc Negus, Rain Bird Golf's rotor product manager.  "Not only does the EAGLE 351B have solid design and construction for a high degree of durability and reliability, it also is interchangeable from the front without the need for any special tools."

Another key feature of the EAGLE 351B is Memory Arc®, which returns the rotor to its original arc setting.  It also has a unique nozzle design that provides superior water distribution and less sensitivity to pressure and spacing difference, with 1.3 or less scheduling coefficient at head-to-head spacing.  Furthermore, the nozzle has a pop-up height of 3.25 inches (8,3 cm) to clear taller grass.

Other key EAGLE 351B Rotor Series features include: 

• Available in block (with SEAL-A-MATICTM device) models.
• Fully top-serviceable.
• Threads available in NPT, BSP and ACME.
• Water lubricated gear-drive.
• Self-adjusting turbine stator allows nozzle replacement with no other adjustment requirements.
