RainBird: Falcon® 6504 Series Rotors

Full- or Part-Circle Rotor Pop-Up Sprinklers

Rain Bird Falcon 6504 Rotor Sprinklers
With the Falcon 6504 rotor, you can have it all -- uncompromising performance, superior distribution, reliability and durability.
Rain Curtain™ nozzles maximize performance and coverage. A multi-function wiper seal and tapered riser keep the stem clear of debris, providing long-term protection. Plus, heavy-duty construction makes the Falcon 6504 one of the toughest rotors in the field.
Available in full- and part-circle models with optional stainless steel riser, the Falcon 6504 is ideal for large turf sites such as parks, athletic fields, cemeteries, schools and commercial sites with spacing up to 65 feet (19,8 m).

Rain Bird 5000 Series Rotors

The Next Evolution in Rotor Performance


Relax with the knowledge your landscape is being watered by reliable 5000 Series Rotors and industry-leading Rain Curtain
Nozzle Technology. Rain Bird® 5000 Series Rotors are ideal for medium to large-size lawns and evenly distribute water from 25 to 50 feet.

Outstanding Results

Superior Distribution Uniformity. 5000 Series Rotors with Rain Curtain Technology are engineered to deliver a uniform spray pattern, giving you a consistently green lawn throughout.

Superior Wind Resistance

The larger water droplets produced by Rain Curtain technology prevent misting and airborne evaporation so the right amount of water is delivered to the right place, saving you water and money.

Superior Close-in Watering

Gentle close-in watering eliminates dry spots around the rotor, prevents seed washout and allows the turf to grow healthy with no matting or bending.

Features: 

  • Faster maintenance with a new self-cleaning arc adjustment screw.
  • 5000, 5000 Plus and 5000 Plus PRS Series Rotors are available in 4", 6", 12", Shrub, and Stainless Steel (5000 Plus/5000 Plus PRS 4" & 6" only) models.
  • Standard rubber cover for extra protection. 5000 Plus/5000 Plus PRS feature a green cover while the 5000 features a black cover.
  • Heavy-duty cover assembly for extra durability.
  • Rain Curtain™ Nozzles.
  • The 5000 Plus features a Flow Shut-Off device to stop the flow of water to a particular head while the system is still in operation.
  • Slip clutch mechanism for quick adjustment on installation.
  • Heavy-duty retract spring assures positive pop-down.
  • Top-adjust arc adjustment requiring only a flat-blade screwdriver.
  • 40 - 360° arc rotation and reversing full circle rotation in one.
  • Radius adjustment screw allows up to 25% radius reduction without changing nozzles.
  • True 4" (10 cm), 6" (15,2 cm) and 12" (30,5 cm) pop-up (measured from the cover to the nozzle).
  • Pressure-activated multi-function wiper seal protects internals from debris and assures positive pop-up and retraction.
  • Reinforced flow path for additional side load strength.
  • Additional O-rings and seals for extra protection in "gritty" water.
  • Optional Seal-A-Matic (SAM) check valve which prevents water from
    pooling at the base of slopes or hillsides.
