Compatibility & Installation Notes

Confirm an 8005 Series host and allow for the 12.6-inch overall assembled height. Position the growing area to suit the finished turf surface and preserve sprinkler movement.

For the mounting arrangement illustrated by Rain Bird, remove the two front 1/2-inch tamper-proof cap screws, place the cup over the cap and install two 3/4-inch Torx screws through the cup into the cap. Follow the applicable kit instructions for the rotor.

Keep drain holes and adjustment access clear. Check pop-up, retraction and the watering pattern after fitting the cup and establishing turf.

Keep the compatible rotor and its selected nozzle in place; the cup is an accessory mounted over the cap.
