Rain Bird 5000 Plus Series Pressure Regulator Seal-A-Matic Sprinkler Heads Bundle - 6 Pack 5004+PCSR SAM Rotors with IrriFix Nozzle Box Including 6 Nozzle Trees and 1 Rotortool Screwdriver

HeadsThe pics speak for themselves. Using rain bird with SAM almost eliminates the low head drainage. Both of the rainbird 5004+ spray rotors are nice rotor’s and work fantastic for my yard; however the SAM units are a step up for sure.Ok a little back story, I’m a home builder and not a irrigation specialist. I do have some knowledge in this area. My previous home system was an all hunter system, (I thought they were the best units when my installer recommended it, his words) I had to always adjust them and they’re difficult to adjust for someone without the expertise and time.Bounce forward to a large area to water (a new lawn to water-acre and a half) and with the pricing on everything today I decided to install my own underground system.I did try the underground heads and garden hose with a nice timer; and it worked ok for smaller areas (2k sqft) however it took me approx. 9 hours to water the other 50k+ sqft @ 20 mins per garden hose zone area; three garden hoses and higher end above ground impact sprinkler.Very time consuming to manually water my lawn, so I decided to take on installing an underground 20k sqft system, most of my front yard, myself with a tremendous amount of research and planning from all three big irrigation companies websites.I rented a trencher, purchased all my products and got busy lol 2 weeks later after work and weekends I have about 12-14k sqft completed.Some of the research says to install a drain valve on/near the low grade sprinkler heads to reduce the water drainage from the heads- done- however the heads still drained excessively from the heads. See the pics. One head drained well over 7 mins after shutting the system down (a standard 5004+ rains bird rotor head) the 5004+ rotor head worked flawlessly however I didn’t like the low head run off (with a drained valve installed) so I purchased the 5004+PCSR SAM and I couldn’t be happier. This rotor head regulates the pressure to each head (45 PSI) and almost eliminated any low head drainage.Did I mention how easy the units were to adjust? Super easy!! And performed flawlessly!! If you have any slope in your yard-look at these rotors and hopefully you’ll be as impressed as I am. Lastly the items shipped quickly 2 days Thx to prime and easily installs with a 3/4” swing arm. Swing arms are also the way to go when installing the sprinkler heads makes life a little easier. But do your research. Hope this helps someone.

I had Rain Bird 5000 rotator sprinkler heads installed 20 years ago and some of them are showing signs of wear. I replaced those worn rotators with these 5000-plus rotar heads. They were easy to install and I like the new pressure regulated feature, and being able to turn the water flow off from the top cap of the rotator head. They work great.

everything is good fast delivery

Exactly as described. Arrived a day earlier than expected shipping date.Instructions are far from the best, but it i was already familiar with how to adjust the rain bird 5000 plus sprinkler.I do wish they came with an explanation of how to choose the correct nozzle, but I just used the same one that was in the sprinkler head I replaced.

This product is great. I wanted the option to turn off certain sprinkler heads at times (when cars are parked on the driveway so they don’t get sprayed). It was very easy to install, adjusting the settings and turning it off is very simple. Only criticism is minor, the instructions were a little tough to follow on a first read but after re-reading and trying some settings, it made sense. Would recommend!

Rainbird has a great product here. Once set-up, the sprinkler head is maintenance free. Comes with an assortment of nozzles thst produce the advertised gallonsge and pattern. I do, however, prefer the impact sprinklers as the coversge radius is better attained with this type of sprinkler head. The impact heads jyst require more maintenace and upkeep.

I had to open a few as they were not going back down and got stuck after I put in the nozzle and noticed that some were wet inside meaning they came used. I ordered 4 boxes of six so had to go an open all of the to see if this was just a two off or what. Out of 24, 6 had water inside. I bought an attachment for the hose so I could test each one to make sure there wasn't any issues and they all seemed fine, even the ones that had water inside so wasn't sure if it was worth packing up each box and sending back to try and get new ones when each box seemed to have 1 or 2 like this.Hopefully they don't break down in a month after the return time expires.Also, I wasn't too comfortable with the "maker" of these boxes, even though they say are rainbird the amazon page lists the maker as Irrifix but then the seller is some other random seller so I am keeping my fingers crossed they are genuine. I couldn't find any info on Irrifix other than a few broken websites or links.

These units are the best RainRird heads...and they have the Seal-A-Matic (SAM) upgrade (which prevents leaks after shut-off) and they also have pressure regulators integrated so the sprinkler heads all spray evenly in a given zone. Highly recommended, and unlike other Amazon sellers, IrriFix sends you the correct items.
