Rain Bird’s Golf Division introduced its new 702 and 752 series rotors. These rotors replace Rain Bird’s current 700 and 751 series electric and integrated control (IC) Valve-In-Head (VIH) rotors. The 702 and 752 series rotors are designed to offer faster, easier adjustments with fewer parts, according to the company.

“We developed these new rotors to provide the kind of flexibility, uniformity, dependable coverage and efficiency that golf course professionals need, perhaps now more than ever before,” said Scott Rottler, senior product manager for Rain Bird Golf. “At the end of the day, we want to offer innovative products that also provide peace of mind. With the new 702 and 752 Series Rotors, we believe we’re achieving that important goal.”

The new 702 and 752 Series Rotors offer 75-percent faster nozzle changes using a simple screwdriver, says the company. The new self-adjusting stator, to control rotor speed, eliminates the need to change stator configurations when changing nozzles, delivering consistent rotation speeds for all 702 and 752 series nozzles. The 702 and 752 offer top-serviceable arc adjustment, pressure regulation and easy access to serviceable components.

The Rain Bird 702 is a full-circle rotor with a radius of 59 to 77 feet and is available in two models: electric and IC. Also available in electric and IC models, the Rain Bird 752 full- and part-circle rotor has a radius of 19 to 84 feet — the largest range of throw available in a golf class rotor. The Rain Bird 752 features Rain Bird’s rapid-adjust technology for easy arc adjustments with the turn of a screw, as well as MemoryArc, which retains two part-circle arc settings so that rotors can be shifted from full- to part-circle operation in seconds.
