Rain Bird 8005SS Stainless-Steel Riser Rotor

Brand: Rain Bird | SKU: 8005SS

Product Overview

Choose Rain Bird 8005SS for large-turf irrigation where a stainless-steel riser helps resist damage. This 5-inch pop-up rotor provides adjustable 50–330-degree part-circle operation or non-reversing 360-degree full-circle watering, with a SAM check device for up to 10 feet of elevation change. Match the Rain Curtain nozzle to operating pressure, required radius and available zone flow.

Key Features

• Stainless-steel-covered riser for demanding public-turf applications.
• 50–330-degree adjustable part circle or non-reversing 360-degree full circle.
• Memory Arc returns the rotor to its set pattern after the turret is turned.
• SAM check device limits low-head drainage across up to 10 feet of elevation change.
• Front-service Rain Curtain nozzle installation.

Common Uses

• Sports fields, parks and other large-turf irrigation layouts.
• Replacing a matching 8005 stainless-steel-riser rotor where body clearance and water supply are suitable.

Compatibility & Installation Notes

Confirm the 1-inch NPT supply connection and retracted-body clearance. The operating range is for the rotor family; check the selected nozzle chart before sizing the zone.

Choose full-circle or part-circle mode at the top adjustment slot. In part-circle mode, set the left and right edges using the 8005-specific adjustment procedure.

Before nozzle service, turn off the zone and support the raised riser with the proper tools. Clear the retention screw, fit the nozzle flush with the turret and engage the retainer according to the 8005 instructions.

A stainless-steel riser helps resist damage but does not make the sprinkler immune to impact or vandalism. The SAM device controls low-head drainage; it is not a pressure regulator or backflow-prevention device.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which part is stainless steel?

8005SS has a stainless-steel-covered riser. It is not an all-stainless-steel sprinkler body.

What patterns are available?

It provides adjustable 50–330-degree part-circle operation or non-reversing 360-degree full-circle operation.

Does the stated 81-foot radius apply to every nozzle?

No. The 39–81-foot family range depends on the nozzle and operating pressure. Use the selected nozzle’s performance data.

Is this the less-nozzle configuration?

Yes. Manufacturer reference B81300 is the 8005 stainless-steel-riser rotor listed without a nozzle. Select the compatible nozzle for the irrigation design.

Why Buy from Big Frog Supply?

Choose 8005SS when the site needs the 8005’s large-turf performance with a stainless-steel-covered riser for added resistance to damage. Its 1-inch NPT inlet and 5-inch pop-up identify the mounting requirements, while selectable part-circle or non-reversing full-circle operation supports different field layouts. Check the nozzle and 50–100 psi supply requirement; SAM drainage control is included for up to 10 feet of elevation change.
