5000/5000 Plus MPR Nozzles
Achieve Matched Precipitation Rate Between 25' and 35'

Rain Bird 5000/5000 Plus MPR Nozzles simplify both the design process and the installation of rotors, because they reliably deliver matched precipitation rates within and between rotor radii from 25' to 35'. Without having to use fixed arc plates, designers and installers can achieve MPR using either 5000 Series or 5000 Plus Series Rotors. Superior flexibility in arc adjustment minimizes the risks of over- or under-watering.

Features

Three Nozzle trees of 25', 30', and 35'

Each tree contains a Q (90°), T (120°), H (180°), and F (360°) Nozzle

No fixed arc plate required

Compatible with both the 5000 and 5000 Plus Rotor Series

Rain Curtain™ Technology provides:

- Large droplets for consistent performance
- Effective close-in watering
- Even distribution over the entire radius
Precipitation rate of 0.60 in/hr (15,2 mm/hr) reduces run-off and erosion
Color-coded by radius for easy identification
Nozzles are easy to insert and remove
Stackable Nozzle trees for convenient storage
