See how the Rain Bird 5000
Plus Rotor
stacks up to the competition.
Only
the Rain Bird® 5000 Plus rotor with Stream Control Technology
delivers everything you would want or expect in a rotor, without
sacrificing a thing.
Unlike
the competition that uses a flow-stopping “poppet”
device that creates excess friction loss and water turbulence
in the rotor, the 5000 Plus rotor with Stream Control Technology
features an unobstructed flow path. This provides superior
stream efficiency for maximum Rain Curtain nozzle performance,
while still allowing water shut-off at each individual rotor.

Bird 5000 Plus Rotor
Superior
stream efficiency for maximum
Rain Curtain nozzle
performance combined
with flow shut-off capability.
Competition
Diminished
water stream efficiency limits nozzle performance
and reduces radius range.
Stream
control technology offers superior flow shut-off mechanism,
minimizes friction loss and turbulence and maintains
optimum water distribution by:
Patented
cone valve, integrated into the flow path
Radiused
nozzle bore and flow path entrance ramps
Unobstructed
flow path entrance to maximize total flow
Enlarged
flow path
The
placement of the competitor's flow-stop "poppet"
device at the base of the rotor's flow path creates
excess friction loss and water turbulence, which results
in:
