Rain Bird y66050 Pop-up Rotor 12 Inch 5000 Plus Series

Product Description

The RAIN BIRD y66050 is a 5000+ Series pop-up rotor sprinkler designed for professional irrigation systems. With a 12-inch pop-up height, it delivers water across an adjustable part-circle spray pattern at a 25-degree trajectory angle. The rotor operates at 45 psi and handles a flow rate of 0.73 to 9.63 gallons per minute (GPM), covering distances from 25 to 50 feet. Licensed irrigation contractors and landscape professionals install this unit in ground-level spray heads for turf and groundcover areas requiring reliable, even distribution across large zones.

The y66050 is suited for residential, light commercial, and commercial irrigation applications. Its adjustable part-circle pattern makes it adaptable to irregular turf zones and property boundaries without fixed-arc limitations. The 3/4-inch FNPT female connection fits standard lateral pipe sizing common in commercial and residential irrigation system design. This rotor is a core component in multi-head zone layouts where matched precipitation rates and consistent throw distance are required across the system.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed irrigation contractor in accordance with local codes and water authority backflow requirements. Shut off system water supply and depressurize the lateral line before replacing or installing the rotor head. Set the arc adjustment and radius trim screw before backfilling to avoid disturbing the head after burial. Verify operating pressure at the zone valve matches the specified 45 psi for optimal performance.
