Rain Bird 5004+FCSAM 4-Inch SAM Full-Circle Plus Rotor

Brand: Rain Bird | SKU: 5004+FCSAM

Product Overview

Water an open turf area in every direction with Rain Bird 5004+FCSAM. This 4-inch pop-up uses dedicated, non-reversing 360-degree rotation and includes Plus flow shut-off for stopping water at the individual head. Its SAM check valve also limits low-head drainage across up to 7 feet of elevation change. Match the nozzle and operating pressure to the watering layout.

Key Features

• Dedicated 360-degree non-reversing full-circle rotation.
• 4-inch pop-up for in-ground turf installations.
• SAM check valve reduces low-head drainage within a 7-foot elevation rating.
• Plus flow shut-off stops water at one head while the zone operates.
• Rain Curtain nozzle choices for matching reach and zone demand.

Common Uses

• Open lawn or landscaped turf requiring a complete circle of irrigation.
• Replacing a matching 4-inch full-circle Plus rotor after checking body fit and connection.
• Low-head drainage control within the SAM elevation rating.

Compatibility & Installation Notes

Confirm that the site requires a complete circle. FC is the dedicated full-circle model; it does not provide the adjustable 40–360-degree arc of a PC model.

Match the 3/4-inch male NPT supply connection and check retracted body clearance. Flush the line before installing and select the nozzle for pressure, flow and head spacing.

For Plus flow shut-off, insert a flat-bladed screwdriver in the flow shut-off slot. Turn clockwise 180 degrees to stop water and counterclockwise 180 degrees to resume it, as directed in the 5000 instructions.

Set reach with the nozzle-retention screw and check actual overlap while the zone operates. Reducing reach by interrupting the stream can affect distribution.

This configuration does not include PRS pressure regulation. Its SAM check valve controls low-head drainage and is not a backflow-prevention device.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I set this rotor to a partial circle?

No. 5004+FCSAM is a dedicated non-reversing 360-degree full-circle model. Choose a PC model for an adjustable part-circle arc.

What does Plus flow shut-off do?

It lets you stop water at this rotor head with a screwdriver while the rest of the zone continues operating.

Does this model include SAM?

Yes. The SAM check valve holds back up to 7 feet of elevation change to reduce low-head drainage.

Is pressure regulation included?

No. The Plus flow shut-off feature and the SAM option are separate from PRS pressure regulation. Select a PRS model when the irrigation design requires it.

Why Buy from Big Frog Supply?

Choose 5004+FCSAM when an open-turf layout needs both dedicated non-reversing 360-degree coverage and SAM drainage control across up to 7 feet of elevation change. Its 4-inch pop-up fits the shorter 5004 body arrangement, and Plus flow shut-off helps service an individual head while the zone runs. Select an adjustable PC model when the watering boundary needs a partial circle.
