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.

Rain 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:

  • Restricted stream efficiency
  • Limited radius range
  • Reduced nozzle performance
