Question 1

does each one come with a nozzel pack?

Accepted Answer

I just got these and I did not get a nozzle pack for each sprinkler head. Each sprinkler head had a 3.0 nozzle pre-installed, that's it.

Question 2

What is the spray distance? I have already tried the Rain Bird CP5004PC which is advertised as 26' - 38'. That is too far for my yard.

Accepted Answer

The actual distance depends on 3 factors:  The pressure of your water system, the Nozzle you install on the Rain Bird, and the adjustment you make on the rainbird itself.  The Pressure you cannot change.  It is what it is.  Normally you do not change the nozzles very often either.  So with a particular nozzle, you set the Rainbird on maximum and see how far that goes.  If it is too far, you just adjust the flow on the Rainbird and shorten it to whatever degree you want.  (Less than 10 feet is sort of a waste and there are other rainbirds for that).  So you will have no difficulty shortening the distance.  People who have a problem usually cannot get a long enough spray because of the low pressure.  You will have no problem.

Question 3

Why does my inlet measure 1" wide with a tape measure

Accepted Answer

Pipe sizes do refer to physical dimensions, but the plumbing industry standard for the sizes of pipe is not always as straight-forward as measuring the pipe. The "pipe thread size" is measured and based on the inside of the pipe. But, to actually determine the size of a pipe, the outside diameter of each pipe or fitting must be measured and compared to a PVC thread table for size identification. In this example, a 3/4" NPT pipe thread has an outside diameter of 1.050 inches.

Question 4

How different is the 5000 series compared to rain bird 32sa?

Accepted Answer

The 5000 series (42SA) has a 3/4" inlet and generally uses larger nozzles ( 1.0 to 8.0 GPM)
The 3500 series (32SA) has a 1/2" inlet and generally uses smaller nozzles ( .75 to 4.0 GPM)
