Rain Bird 8005 5-Inch Pop-Up Adjustable Rotor

Rain Bird 8005 5-Inch Pop-Up Adjustable Rotor

Brand: Rain Bird | SKU: 8005

Product Overview

Water larger turf areas with the Rain Bird 8005, a 1-inch NPT rotor that supports adjustable part-circle or continuous full-circle coverage. Its Memory Arc mechanism returns watering to the selected arc after the turret is moved, making it a practical option for parks and sports fields exposed to foot traffic. Choose a nozzle and verify available zone pressure and flow before selecting spacing.

Key Features

• Memory Arc and a non-strippable drive help resist tampering.
• Set left and right arc edges from the top without rotating the case.
• Rain Curtain nozzle design distributes water at close, middle and longer distances.
• SAM check device helps reduce drainage at low heads after shutoff.

Common Uses

• Sports fields, parks and larger commercial turf areas.
• Large lawn zones designed for long-range rotor coverage.

Compatibility & Installation Notes

Match the 1-inch NPT inlet to the installation. The 8005-SS is a separate stainless-steel-covered riser model; stainless coverage and a non-potable cover are not features of the standard 8005 listing.

Select nozzle size from the performance chart at the pressure available at the rotor. Published radius and flow ranges span multiple nozzles and pressures; they are not the performance of every nozzle. Use a flat-blade screwdriver for arc settings and check coverage while running.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can one 8005 handle both part-circle and full-circle watering?

Yes. It adjusts from 50° to 330° in part-circle mode or runs continuously in a separate 360° full-circle mode.

Is this the stainless-steel riser model?

No. The standard 8005 has a plastic riser. The 8005-SS is the separate stainless-steel-covered riser model.

Will every nozzle throw 81 feet?

No. Radius depends on nozzle size and pressure. The 39–81-foot range covers the series with available nozzle options.

What does the SAM check device do?

It helps limit low-head drainage after watering stops and holds up to 10 feet of elevation head.
