Brand: Rain Bird | SKU: RB5F, RB5H, RB5Q
Product Overview
Water small turf or planting areas with a 5-foot MPR nozzle at 30 psi. Choose a full circle for surrounding coverage, half circle for an edge or quarter circle for a corner; the small radius helps match tighter spaces.

- The red top identifies the 5 Series.
- Adjustment screw controls radius and flow; arc stays fixed.
- Fits Rain Bird spray heads and shrub adapters.

Compatibility & Installation Notes
Flush the spray body before fitting the nozzle and screen. Match the fixed arc to the head location, then check available pressure and zone flow. Rain Bird recommends no more than 25% radius reduction. Published performance assumes zero wind and testing on a 4-inch pop-up; coverage is not the nozzle's physical size. Spray body is purchased separately.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which RB5 option should I choose?
Choose RB5F for a full circle, RB5H for a half circle or RB5Q for a quarter circle.
Can I adjust the arc?
No. These are fixed-pattern nozzles; the screw adjusts radius and flow rather than changing the arc.
When does it reach 5 feet?
The published radius is 5 feet at 30 psi. Lower listed pressures produce a shorter throw.
Why Buy from Big Frog Supply?
Choose RB5 when a small area calls for a 5-foot radius at 30 psi. Its 5-degree trajectory and red series marking distinguish it from longer-throw families; select the full, half or quarter pattern and use its corresponding 0.41, 0.20 or 0.10 gpm flow in the zone plan.
