Rain Bird 5006PC 6-Inch Adjustable Pop-Up Rotor

Rain Bird 5006PC 6-Inch Adjustable Pop-Up Rotor

Brand: Rain Bird | SKU: 5006PC

Product Overview

Bring the nozzle above taller turf with the Rain Bird 5006PC. This standard 5000 Series rotor has a 6-inch pop-up and an adjustable 40–360° arc for lawn edges, corners or reversing full-circle coverage. It uses a plastic riser and leaves out Plus flow shutoff, SAM drainage control and PRS regulation, so you can choose the basic configuration when those features are not required.

Key Features

• 6-inch pop-up offers more nozzle clearance than a 4-inch model.
• Top-adjustable 40–360° arc with reversing full-circle operation.
• Rain Curtain nozzle selection determines throw and flow.
• Radius screw allows up to 25% reduction without changing the nozzle.
• Pressure-activated wiper seal helps protect the internal mechanism from debris.

Common Uses

• Turf areas needing a taller pop-up to clear surrounding grass.
• Lawn boundaries requiring an adjustable rotor arc.

Compatibility & Installation Notes

Allow room for the 9-5/8-inch retracted body and match the bottom inlet to a 3/4-inch male NPT connection. Flush the supply line and use the performance chart to match nozzle flow and throw to the zone.

Set the fixed left stop before adjusting the right boundary. Adjust arc from the top with a flat-blade screwdriver; do not force the mechanism past its stops.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does 5006PC have a flow shutoff screw?

No. Plus individual-head flow shutoff is a feature of 5000 Plus models, not the standard 5006PC.

Can it water a full circle?

Yes. Its adjustable 40–360° arc includes reversing full-circle operation.

How tall is the body when retracted?

The 6-inch pop-up model has a retracted body height of 9-5/8 inches. The 6-inch measurement is the cover-to-nozzle pop-up height.

Does it include SAM or PRS?

No. Standard 5006PC has neither a SAM check valve nor a PRS pressure regulator.

Why Buy from Big Frog Supply?

Choose 5006PC when you need the nozzle to rise 6 inches and still want to set a 40–360° watering arc. Its standard plastic-riser configuration suits installations that do not call for SAM, PRS or Plus shutoff, while the 9-5/8-inch retracted height helps confirm that the taller body will fit.
