Rain Bird 5004+PCSAM 4-Inch Plus Rotor with SAM Check Valve

Rain Bird 5004+PCSAM 4-Inch Plus Rotor with SAM Check Valve

Brand: Rain Bird | SKU: 5004+PCSAM

Product Overview

The Rain Bird 5004+PCSAM combines a 4-inch pop-up, adjustable part-circle rotor with two useful features: Plus flow shutoff at the head and a Seal-A-Matic check valve for low-head drainage control. Use it for lawn areas requiring a longer throw, and choose the nozzle for the available pressure, required radius and zone flow. This model has a plastic riser and does not include PRS pressure regulation.

Key Features

• 40–360° adjustable arc with reversing full-circle operation.
• Plus flow shutoff lets you stop this head while other heads on the zone run.
• SAM check valve holds up to 7 feet of elevation head to limit low-head drainage.
• Rain Curtain nozzle design and top-access arc adjustment.
• Radius adjustment permits up to 25% reduction without changing the nozzle.

Common Uses

• Medium to large lawn areas suited to rotor coverage.
• Sloped zones where low-head drainage falls within the SAM check-valve limit.
• Installations where individual-head shutoff makes nozzle setup and troubleshooting easier.

Technical Specifications

• Model: 5004+PCSAM; 5000 Plus Series, adjustable part-circle/reversing full-circle rotor.
• Inlet: 3/4-inch female NPT, bottom inlet.
• Operating pressure: 25–65 psi.
• Series nozzle-dependent radius: 25–50 feet; select from the manufacturer performance chart for the nozzle and pressure.
• Series nozzle-dependent flow range: 0.76–9.63 GPM; actual flow depends on the nozzle and pressure.
• Arc: 40–360°.
• SAM check-valve capacity: up to 7 feet (2.1 m) of elevation head.
• Features: Plus flow shutoff; plastic riser; no PRS pressure regulator.

Dimensions

• Pop-up height: 4 inches, measured from cover to nozzle.
• Retracted body height: 7-3/8 inches.
• Exposed surface diameter: 1-5/8 inches.

Compatibility & Installation Notes

Match the bottom inlet to a 3/4-inch male NPT connection. Flush the line before final nozzle installation and select a nozzle using the pressure and flow available at the head.

Set the fixed left stop before adjusting the right arc. Use a flat-blade screwdriver for top arc adjustment; do not force the adjustment past its limits.

SAM limits drainage caused by elevation differences; it does not regulate operating pressure. For applications requiring in-stem pressure regulation, select the appropriate PRS model instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does 5004+PCSAM regulate pressure?

No. This model includes Plus flow shutoff and a SAM check valve, but no PRS pressure regulator.

What does the SAM check valve do?

It holds up to 7 feet of elevation head to help limit low-head drainage after the zone shuts off.

Can it water a full circle?

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

Will every nozzle throw 50 feet?

No. The 25–50-foot series range depends on nozzle selection and operating pressure. Use the performance chart to select the required radius and flow.

Why Buy from Big Frog Supply?

Choose the 5004+PCSAM when a 4-inch rotor needs both individual-head flow shutoff and drainage control on slopes up to the 7-foot SAM limit. Its adjustable 40–360° arc suits different lawn boundaries, while the plastic-riser, non-PRS configuration keeps the model choice clear when comparing other 5000 Plus options.
