I even bring my brass heads in and plug the lines [] . . . and the MaxiBirds look like plastic. Anyway, I've had advice to go with the rotors which was my original plan.
Thanks, guys. Since individual head shutoff is not an issue on this job, I'll stay with the 5000's then.
I'm going to place some of my perimeter rotors on scd 40 PVC standpipes attached to my 42" high 4x4 wooden fence posts. I was going to use Rainbird 5000 rotors; however I also see a small impulse model, the Maxi-Bird, that would work. My thought is that the rotors would overwinter OK, but I'd probably want to unscrew the impulse heads and take them inside. Anyone have any thoughts? []
Is there any difference between the 5000 and 5000 Plus rotors other than the shutoff valve? Wipers/seals all the same? No reason to spec Plus rotors except for flow control? []
