Rain Bird 5000 Heavy Duty Gear-Driven Rotor Sprinkler Head | 25–50 ft Radius, 40–360° Arc

The Rain Bird 5000 gear-driven rotor sprinkler head delivers professional-level irrigation for residential lawns. Designed to support medium to large zones, it offers an adjustable 40–360 degree spray pattern and a 25–50 ft radius, enabling precise coverage that targets grass while reducing overspray on hardscapes. Built for long-term underground performance, the closed-case design protects internal components from sand, debris, and creeping grasses. A water-lubricated gear drive, reinforced seals, stainless steel retract spring, and true pop-up action work together for reliable operation season after season. With a 3/4-inch NPT female bottom threaded inlet, the Rain Bird 5000 operates efficiently at 25 to 65 PSI, and it installs easily on standard risers as a dependable upgrade for aging sprinkler heads.

The Rain Bird 5000 series is more than a sprinkler head—it’s a thoughtful irrigation solution that blends durability with precision. The patented Rain Curtain technology produces larger droplets that resist wind and promote even distribution across the watering pattern. Micro ramps provide gentle close-in coverage, helping to minimize dry spots while reducing overall watering time and potential runoff. Adjustments are quick from the top using a flat-blade screwdriver, allowing arc and distance tuning without disassembly. While adjustment tools and nozzle sets are not included, this design supports straightforward upgrades for existing systems or new installations.
