Rain Bird 5000 Plus Series 12-inch Rotor with PRS & SAM Check Valve — Part/Reverse Full Circle

Overview

The Rain Bird 5000 Plus rotor is a robust 12 inch pop-up irrigation device that combines pressure regulation with a SAM check valve to deliver more uniform watering across part circle and full circle zones. Designed for lawns, landscapes, and larger sites, this rotor helps maintain steady output as pressure fluctuates, supporting even coverage from bed to bed and along long run lines.

Maintenance is streamlined by a self-cleaning arc adjustment screw, which reduces downtime during service visits. The heavy duty cover assembly, paired with Rain Curtain style nozzles, adds durability in demanding outdoor environments. A slip clutch enables quick installation adjustments, while a retract spring guarantees reliable pop down after each cycle. The arc is top-adjustable with a flat blade screwdriver, and the mechanism supports 40 to 360 degree rotation and easy reversal to a full circle, all within a single rotor body.
