5000/5000 Plus Series Rotors
The Next Evolution in Rotor Performance

  • Greener grass with less water – Rain Curtain™ nozzles deliver superior uniformity
  • Even greater water savings with optional in-stem pressure regulation (PRS)
  • Faster to install with matched precipitation rate using MPR nozzle set

Features

  • Faster maintenance with a new self-cleaning arc adjustment screw
  • 5000, 5000 Plus and 5000 Plus PRS Series Rotors are available in 4”, 6”, 12”, Shrub, and Stainless Steel (5000 Plus/5000 Plus PRS 4” & 6” only) models
  • Standard rubber cover for extra protection. 5000 Plus/5000 Plus PRS feature a green cover while the 5000 features a black cover
  • Heavy-duty cover assembly for extra durability in residential or commercial applications
  • Rain Curtain™ Nozzles
  • 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.
  • Slip clutch mechanism for quick adjustment on installation
  • Heavy-duty retract spring assures positive pop-down
  • 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 (7,6 to 15,2 m) distance of throw
  • Award-winning MPR nozzle set simplifies design and installation by providing matched precipitation from 25’ to 35’ (7,6 to 10,7 m) (see page 52)
  • Top-adjust arc adjustment requiring only a flat-blade screwdriver
  • Five-year trade warranty
  • 40 - 360° arc rotation and reversing full circle rotation in one. (A nonreversing full circle only unit is also available)
  • Radius adjustment screw allows up to 25% radius reduction without changing nozzles
  • True 4” (10 cm), 6” (15,2 cm) and 12” (30,5 cm) pop-up (measured from the cover to the nozzle)
  • 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 stainless steel riser helps deter vandalism on public turf areas (4” and 6” 5000 Plus/5000 Plus PRS only)
  • Optional pre-installed Rain Curtain™ nozzle on most popular nozzles
  • Optional Seal-A-Matic (SAM)™ check valve holds up to 7 feet (2,1 m) of elevation change, to prevent puddling and erosion caused by low head drainage
  • Optional non-potable purple cover for easy identification of reclaimed water

Operating Range

  • Precipitation rate: 0.20 to 1.01 inches per hour (5 to 26 mm/h)
  • Radius: 25 to 50 feet (7,6 to 15,2 m)
  • Radius may be reduced up to 25% with radius reduction screw
  • Pressure: 25-65 psi (1,7 to 4,5 bar)
  • Flow Rate: 0.73 to 9.63 gpm (4,2 to 36,6 l/m)

Specifications

  • 3⁄4” (20/27) NPT female bottom threaded inlet
  • Reversing full and part circle adjustment 40° – 360°
  • Full circle only adjustment 360°

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 Plus, T-Bird™ and Hunter® PGP™ (using UPG model) rotor cases without digging up the entire body
  • Pressure: 25-75 psi (1,7 to 5,2 bar)

Models

Part-Circle units (PC) are adjustable from 40 –360 degrees.
Full-Circle units (FC) are 360 degrees only.

  • 5004-(PC or FC)-(SAM)-(NP)
  • 5006-(PC or FC)-(SAM)-(NP)
  • 5012-(PC or FC)-(SAM)-(NP)
  • 5000-S-PL-(PC or FC)-(SAM)-(R)-(NP) - standard with SAM
  • 5004-PL-(PC or FC)-(SAM)-(R)-(NP)-(SS)
  • 5006-PL-(PC or FC)-(SAM)-(R)-(NP)-(SS)
  • 5012-PL-(PC or FC)-(SAM)-(R)-(NP)

Note: Many models are available with a 2.0 or 3.0 nozzle pre-installed. NP and SS versions come standard with a SAM, PRS available in 5000 Plus
