billymoss12 is correct. It is now listed as one of the rotor features on Rain Bird's website. This will be a big timesaver when adjusting these rotors. Thanks for the heads up!

Hi Kerry, can you please do a video on how to choose nozzles to achieve match precipitation with rotors. Thank you beforehand

[mrfarkass]

how do you decide which of all the nozzles do you choose?

[billymoss]

The new rainbird models have a feature called "slip clutch". This allows you to turn your head to the left stop, then continue turning past it until you get to the direction you would like the left stop to start at. Once that is set you can adjust the right stop using the + / - adjuster. All this can be done without having to dig up your head and lossen the funny els.

Thank you! I just came home from the sprinkler store with a few of these, and couldn't figure out how the heck to set them up!

@coopdeville5
Yes you can a flat head screwdriver to adjust. It needs to be a small one.

I'm trying to figure out if my heads have the slip clutch . I rotated all the way to say 180 then back to 0 then tried to go to let's say negative 45 but it felt a little hard to keep twisting past 0 starting point. Should it easily turn or you have to force it . Any sounds like clicks that you should hear or none at all ? Thanks in advance.

[coopdeville]

can you use a regular flat head driver to adjust?

[Iscaper]

The bottom of the 5000 series rotor has a 3/4" IPS inlet. You have to rotate the rotor on this connection, whether it is a funny pipe 3/4" elbow or a 3/4" nipple, to set the initial left stop. Once the left stop is set you can set the radius-right stop with a small screwdriver.

Go to my channel iScaper1 to see my video on how to adjust a Rain Bird 5000 series rotor. In that video I set the initial left stop on the rotor before I buried the head.

how do u set ur left stop in the place where u need it, to then set the other stop?

I think I might have broken the diffuser screw, when I put the screwdriver in, it goes all the way down without touching anything. And the water comes out on max strength.
Is there anyway to fix it or should I get a new sprinkler?

[teresamarie]

Hello, can I turn off the sprinkler head from the top adjustments?  I do not want to cap the pipe, just turn it off for now.  Thank you!

[GlynRobinson]

Is there a way to repair this 5004 series when water leaks out the tip? Nice Video! Thanks

[valentinaabarzua]

cuando dejan de girar hay manera de repararlos?

[suepeterson]

Sure wish you had shown how to get the nozzle head out of a sprinkler.  The one I have in mine is throwing way to heavy a stream of water even with diffuser turned all the way down. Can't for the life of me figure out how to get nozzle head out though.

[stevenreeves]

isnt the funny pipe going to reduce the water flow?

The camera angle could have better shown what holes to use. The video started off with over a minute of unneccessary information.

should just take it out of its housing. then no need to hold the head so firm. rookie video
