Product Overview
The Hunter 5-CST-B is a pressure-compensating dual-stream bubbler nozzle designed to apply water in two opposing streams with an approximate 5-foot throw. It threads onto compatible Hunter Pro-Spray spray bodies and concentrates irrigation in narrow planting areas where a conventional circular spray pattern could place water outside the intended zone.
The two-stream pattern can be useful around shrubs, tree wells, planting beds, and narrow landscape spaces. Pressure compensation helps provide more consistent discharge as system pressure changes within the supported range. Published flow is approximately 0.30 GPM at 20 PSI and approximately 0.42 GPM at 40 PSI.
Actual throw and application depend on pressure, installation height, soil infiltration, slope, wind, and site layout. Confirm that two opposing streams match the intended planting geometry and select controller run times according to plant and soil needs.
