Rain Bird Rain Curtain replacement nozzles for 5000 series rotors - 12 pieces

Rain Bird replacement nozzles for 5000 series rotors

The Rain Bird Rain Curtain replacement nozzle set allows you to adjust the watering performance of your 5000 series rotor sprinklers. The set contains eight standard-angle nozzles and four low-angle nozzles in different sizes. These interchangeable nozzles make it easy to adapt water flow, spray distance and trajectory to the requirements of your lawn or replace worn or damaged nozzles.

Original Rain Bird Rain Curtain nozzles are designed to distribute water evenly throughout the watering radius. Their carefully engineered spray pattern provides effective close-in watering and produces larger droplets that offer improved resistance to wind. This helps support uniform lawn irrigation and reduces the risk of dry patches.

Rain Curtain technology for even water distribution

Rain Bird Rain Curtain technology delivers water across the entire sprinkler radius, including the area close to the rotor. This balanced distribution helps irrigate the lawn more consistently than a concentrated stream that primarily reaches the outer edge of the watering pattern. The result is more effective coverage across the irrigated area.

Different nozzle sizes allow you to adjust the flow rate to suit individual watering requirements. Smaller nozzles deliver less water, while larger nozzles provide higher flow rates. Selecting appropriate nozzles is particularly important when multiple rotors with different watering arcs operate within the same irrigation zone.

12 replacement nozzles with two spray trajectories

The Rain Bird nozzle set includes eight standard Rain Curtain nozzles with a 25-degree trajectory. The available sizes are 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 and 8.0. These nozzles are suitable for typical lawn irrigation applications and allow the water output of each rotor to be adjusted according to the system design.

Four additional low-angle nozzles feature a 10-degree trajectory and are supplied in sizes 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 3.0. Their lower spray angle can be useful where a flatter water stream is required. The actual watering radius and flow rate depend on the selected nozzle, operating pressure and installation conditions.

Easy nozzle replacement for Rain Bird rotors

These replacement nozzles are compatible with Rain Bird 5000 and 5000 Plus series rotors. Rain Bird also specifies compatibility with the 42SA+ and 52SA rotor series. To replace a nozzle, lift the sprinkler riser, loosen the nozzle retention screw and remove the existing nozzle. Insert the selected replacement nozzle and secure it using the retention screw.

After installation, operate the sprinkler and check the spray pattern, watering radius and coverage. The nozzle retention screw can also be used to reduce the radius within the manufacturer's recommended adjustment range. With the correct replacement nozzles, you can continue using your existing rotors while adapting your irrigation system to changing lawn requirements.

Frequently asked questions

Which Rain Bird rotors are compatible with these nozzles?

The replacement nozzles are suitable for Rain Bird 5000 and 5000 Plus series rotors, as well as the 42SA+ and 52SA series.

How many nozzles are included?

The set contains 12 nozzles: eight standard-angle nozzles with a 25-degree trajectory and four low-angle nozzles with a 10-degree trajectory.

What is the difference between standard and low-angle nozzles?

Standard nozzles have a 25-degree spray trajectory for typical lawn irrigation. Low-angle nozzles have a 10-degree trajectory and produce a flatter water stream.

What does Rain Curtain mean?

Rain Curtain is Rain Bird's nozzle technology designed to provide even water distribution throughout the sprinkler radius, effective close-in watering and larger, wind-resistant droplets.

Can I adjust the sprinkler radius by changing the nozzle?

Yes. Different nozzle sizes affect the flow rate and watering radius. The 5000 series also allows additional radius reduction using the nozzle retention screw.

Can I replace the nozzles myself?

Yes. With a suitable rotor adjustment tool, you can remove the existing nozzle, install a replacement and adjust the spray pattern. Always check the sprinkler performance after replacement.

Are these nozzles compatible with Rain Bird 3500 rotors?

No. The Rain Bird 3500 series uses a different nozzle set. Use replacement nozzles specifically designed for the 3500 series.
