The Rain Bird 5012 Plus Series Part Circle Pattern SAM PRS Rotor (Model 5012+PCSAMR) is a premium 12-inch pop-up rotor is engineered for unmatched water efficiency and reliability in medium to large-size turf areas. It combines three of Rain Bird's most advanced technologies into one powerful unit: a Pressure Regulating Stem (PRS), a Seal-A-Matic (SAM) check valve, and Plus (+) Flow Shut-Off.
The built-in PRS feature is a game-changer for water conservation, maintaining a constant, optimal pressure of 45 PSI. This eliminates wasteful misting and fogging caused by high pressure, ensuring even water distribution. Paired with the industry-leading Rain Curtain Nozzle Technology, this rotor delivers uniform coverage with large, wind-resistant droplets and gentle close-in watering to prevent dry spots around the head.
Dealing with slopes? The SAM check valve prevents low-head drainage by holding back up to 7 feet of elevation change, which stops puddling and erosion when the system turns off. For easy maintenance, the "Green Top" Plus (+) Flow Shut-Off device allows you to stop the flow of water to a single head with a simple screwdriver turn, all while the rest of your system continues to run. With a durable design, a 40°–360° adjustable arc, and a 25 to 50-foot radius, the 5012+PCSR rotor is the all-in-one solution for superior performance and a consistently green lawn.
