Description
Cover medium-to-large lawn zones with the Rain Bird 5004 Plus Rotor Sprinkler — the workhorse rotary head residential and light-commercial installers reach for when a spray head can’t throw far enough. The closed-case gear-drive mechanism rotates the stream smoothly across a 40°-360° adjustable arc, watering up to a 35 ft radius without the misting and overspray you get from a stationary spray head. 4 in pop-up clears most lawn-edging conditions, and the heavy-duty case takes mower and foot-traffic abuse that destroys consumer-grade rotors.
Why Irrigation Pros Pick the 5004
- Adjustable 40°-360° arc — one body covers corner, side, and full-circle zones
- Throws 25-50 ft radius depending on nozzle — bridges the gap between spray heads and impact sprinklers
- Smooth closed-case gear drive — consistent rotation rate, no grass-blade interference
- 4 in (10.2 cm) pop-up height clears most lawn edging and groundcover
- Heavy-duty case — takes mower impact and foot traffic without cracking
- Top adjustment screw lets you dial in the arc and radius without removing the body
- Rain Curtain nozzle technology produces uniform large droplets — less drift, better coverage in wind
- Compatible with the full Rain Bird 5000 Series Plus nozzle set (MPR, full nozzles, etc.)
- Five-year trade warranty
Where It Shines
- Residential lawns above ~15 ft minimum throw distance
- Light commercial lawn installations
- Sports field perimeter and infield watering
- Open-area irrigation where spray-head coverage falls short
- Zones with mixed sun/wind that need uniform droplet delivery

Available Pop-Up Heights
This is the 4 in pop-up version, the standard for residential lawn installs. The same body is also offered in 6 in (5006 Plus) for taller turf and 12 in (5012 Plus) for shrub beds. Same rotor mechanism and nozzle compatibility across the family.
Note: This is the body only — choose your Rain Bird 5000 Series nozzle separately based on the throw distance and flow rate you need for the zone. Most 5000-series rotors come pre-installed with a standard nozzle; check the body cap to confirm.
