Designed for Saudi residential landscapes from small to medium lawns.. The Rain Bird 3504-PC Rotor Sprinkler delivers professional coverage with a compact 1/2-inch gear-drive body that is easy to install, easy to adjust, and built to last.
It ships with a complete nozzle tree that includes 6 high-performance Rain Curtain™ nozzles.. engineered to spread water evenly across the full throw radius with larger droplets that resist wind drift.. so water reaches your plants instead of disappearing into the air.
This means healthier turf, fewer dry patches, and a noticeable reduction in water waste.. with savings that can reach up to 30% compared to traditional rotors when the system is properly designed and adjusted.

Key Features & Practical Benefits
Patented Rain Curtain™ Water Distribution
Rain Curtain™ technology is designed to create a consistent “rain curtain” pattern across the entire spray area.. with larger water droplets that stand up better to wind. This is critical in Saudi outdoor spaces where open lawns can be exposed to strong air movement and high surface temperatures.
One Rotor for Part-Circle or Full-Circle Coverage
Adjust the arc from 40° all the way to 360°.. in the same rotor. You do not need multiple models for different angles.. which simplifies stocking for contractors and makes future maintenance easier.
Quick Top Adjustment with a Standard Screwdriver
Seasonal tuning becomes a quick job.. because arc adjustment is done from the top using a normal screwdriver. No complex tools.. no digging.. and no wasted hours when you need to fine-tune coverage.
Seal-A-Matic™ (SAM) Check Valve Option for Slopes
In areas with elevation differences, low-head drainage can cause puddling and soil washout.. especially in the lowest zones. The SAM check valve option helps prevent bottom leakage and holds up to 7 ft (2.1 m) of elevation difference.. protecting your plants and saving water.
Note: The SAM feature is included on the 3504-PC-SAM model.. the standard 3504-PC does not include the check valve.
Complete 6-Nozzle Tree.. Ready for Real Projects
You get a full set of 6 Rain Curtain™ nozzles.. color-coded for quick identification. Swapping nozzles is straightforward.. letting you match precipitation to your zone design without special tools.
Removable Filter Screen and Large Wiper Seal
A removable filter screen helps protect the nozzle from sand and debris.. while the large wiper seal supports smooth pop-up performance. Simple maintenance makes a big difference.. cleaning the screen every 3--6 months can keep the rotor performing like new for years.
Built-In Radius Reduction.. Up to 25%
Need to avoid spraying sidewalks, walls, or parked cars.. Reduce the radius by up to 25% using the built-in reduction screw. This gives you more control in tight spaces and helps keep irrigation where it belongs.
Made for Tough Outdoor Conditions in Saudi Arabia
The body is made from UV-resistant engineered plastic.. and it is designed to handle common exposure to fertilizers and treated irrigation water. In normal operating conditions, this rotor can deliver a service life that exceeds 10 years.. which makes it a dependable long-term investment.
MWELO Compliance.. Better Uniformity, Less Waste
MWELO compliance reflects strong distribution uniformity.. helping you avoid dry spots and overwatered patches. The result is more even growth.. and smarter water use across the entire landscaped area.
Typical Use Cases
- Home gardens and villas: Ideal for small to medium lawns up to around 500 m².. with quiet operation that works well for night watering.

Installation & Initial Setup Guide
- Plan the layout for head-to-head coverage.
- Use the available radius range 15--35 ft (4.6--10.7 m).
- Avoid gaps and overlaps.. uniform spacing improves distribution and reduces water waste.
- Prepare the pipe connection and flush the line.
- Bottom inlet is 1/2 inch female NPT.. use correct fittings and thread sealant.
- Flush debris before installing the nozzle to protect the filter screen.
- Install the rotor at the correct height.
- Set the top cap flush with final grade.. not below and not above.
- Compact backfill around the body to keep it stable during operation.
- Choose and install the nozzle.
- Select one of the 6 Rain Curtain™ nozzles based on your required flow and radius.
- Tighten securely.. do not overtighten.
- Set the arc and fine-tune the radius.
- Adjust the arc from the top using a standard screwdriver.. 40°--360°.
- Use the radius reduction screw when you need to pull the throw back up to 25%.
- Run a test cycle and correct the pattern.
- Check for wind drift, overspray, and dry areas.. then adjust arc and radius as needed.
- If pressure is below 1.7 bar, a small booster pump may be required.. if above 3.8 bar, use a pressure regulator.
- Basic ongoing maintenance for consistent performance.
- Nozzle check: If clogged with scale, soak in white vinegar for 1 hour.. then rinse with clean water.
- Filter cleaning: Every 3--6 months, remove and rinse the filter screen under running water.. this takes about 2 minutes.
- Wiper seal check: Once per year, inspect for wear.. replace if you notice side leakage.
- Season check: At the start of each irrigation season, confirm arcs did not shift due to tampering or impact.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between the Rain Bird 3504 and the Rain Bird 32SA?
The 3504 is the professional upgraded version of the 32SA.. It includes a protective rubber cap that keeps adjustment ports cleaner, it ships with a complete 6-nozzle Rain Curtain™ tree instead of a single nozzle, and it is built to higher-duty Pro specifications for more intensive use.
Will the 3504 work with low water pressure at my home?
Yes.. It is designed to operate efficiently at 1.7--3.8 bar (25--55 psi). If your pressure is below 1.7 bar, you may need a small booster pump.. if it is higher than 3.8 bar, a pressure regulator is recommended to protect the sprinklers and maintain optimal performance.
How many 3504 sprinklers do I need for a 300 m² garden?
It depends on the shape of the garden and the zone layout.. but a practical rule of thumb is around 12--18 sprinklers for 300 m² when designed for proper head-to-head coverage. For an accurate count, request the free technical consultation from Al-Watani Al-Muhaydib.. the team can calculate quantities based on your site plan.
How do I clean the filter screen on the 3504?
It is a quick 2-minute task.. Stop the irrigation first, twist the top cap counterclockwise, pull the filter screen from under the nozzle, rinse it under running water, then reinstall and close the cap. Cleaning every 3--6 months is recommended depending on your water quality.
Does the 3504 come with a Seal-A-Matic (SAM) check valve?
The SAM check valve is included on the 3504-PC-SAM model.. the standard 3504-PC does not include it. If your landscape has slopes or elevation differences, the SAM model is strongly recommended to reduce low-head drainage and puddling.
Can I connect the 3504 to a smart irrigation controller?
Absolutely.. The 3504 works well with Rain Bird timers and smart controllers. For projects that need remote control and zone-by-zone scheduling, the Rain Bird ESP-ME3 is a strong choice.. especially when paired with sensors for additional water savings.
