How to Adjust Rain Bird 5000 Pop-Up Sprinkler Heads

Blog Article

The Rain Bird 5000 series offers professional-grade adjustments. To modify the spray arc, use a flathead screwdriver on the arc adjustment screw at the top of the head. Turning it clockwise reduces the arc (e.g., from 360° to 90°), while counterclockwise increases it. For spray distance, rotate the nozzle assembly: twisting it inward shortens the throw, outward extends it. The 5000 series also has a “rake” feature—lift the head slightly and use the built-in rake to clear debris from the pop-up mechanism. After adjustments, run the system to check coverage. These heads are designed for large areas, so precise settings prevent water waste and ensure even watering.
