are toro and rain bird sprinkler heads interchangeable

Looking for a simple and cost-effective way to update your Rain Bird irrigation system? Toro offers several options that help you stretch your budget while gaining significant advantages.

The new Toro® R Series conversion assemblies allow you to upgrade your Rain Bird Eagle 900 Series or Eagle 1100 Series sprinklers by replacing only the sprinkler internals while keeping the existing body and piping system intact. These models are based on proven Toro 800S Series and DT Series designs that have been in use on golf courses with Toro irrigation systems for many years.

 Exclusive adjustable trajectory main nozzle TruJectory allows main nozzle angle adjustment for improved wind performance, avoidance of obstacles (like low-hanging branches) and radius adjustment for precise water placement.

 Adjustable part and full circle operation in one. The DT55RB and 855RB provide a part and full circle drive assembly that allows part circle arc adjustment from 40 to 330 degrees and true uni-directional 360 degree full circle performance that allows you to simply adjust the area of coverage to match seasonal needs or meet water use requirements.

 Exclusive ratcheting riser lets you lift the riser assembly and ratchet it in the body to adjust the watering pattern to the desired starting point with no tools or disassembly required.

 Nozzle-base clutching allows you to grasp, turn and hold the sprinkler while its in operation to direct water away from approaching golfers or put more water down in a particular spot.

Standard back nozzle capability. The DT55RB and 855RB part circle models allow an additional nozzling to be placed in the back (in addition to the primary part-circle pattern) to water areas outside of the typical fairway or rough.

Plugged main nozzle configuration. All three Toro models make it simple and easy to take the main nozzle out and plug it for short radius applications.

The industrys largest nozzle selection. Four nozzle sets are packaged with each of Toros conversion assemblies, giving you the flexibility to choose different flow rates and distances of throw. All nozzles are threaded in from the front, unlike Rain Bird nozzles that are pressed in only after you disassemble the nozzle base.

Higher pop-up. With a Toro conversion assembly in a Rain Bird body, you gain a full inch and a half of extra pop-up height to improve performance in areas with taller grasses.

Constant velocity drive assembly. This assembly maintains a consistent rotation speed across a wide range of pressures and flows to ensure even water application from sprinkler to sprinkler.

Dura-Seal riser seal. This seal minimizes the flush that occurs when the sprinkler pops up, so less water is thrown around the sprinkler head. It also resists damage from rocks and sand.

Two Toro solenoid adapter assemblies are also available for Rain Bird Eagle 700, 900 and 1100 Series sprinklers:

The Toro Spike-Guard solenoid adapter: The Toro Spike-Guard solenoid draws half the power of traditional solenoids and has a lightning resistance rating of 20,000 volts three times that of the Rain Bird solenoid.

The Toro DC latching solenoid adapter: Enables courses to upgrade to the Toro GDC 2-wire system using their existing Rain Bird sprinklers by simply replacing the solenoid.

Higher pop-up. Gaining a full inch and a half of extra pop-up height with a Toro conversion assembly in a Rain Bird body enhances performance in regions with taller grasses.

By replacing just the sprinkler internals and leaving the existing body and piping system in place, you can upgrade your Rain Bird Eagle 900 Series or Eagle 1100 Series sprinklers with the new Toro® R Series conversion assemblies. Based on well-proven Toro 800S Series and DT Series designs, these models have been used for many years on golf courses equipped with Toro irrigation systems.

Plugged main nozzle configuration. For short radius applications, it is straightforward and easy to remove and plug the main nozzle on all three Toro models.

The Toro Spike-Guardµ solenoid adapter uses half the power of conventional solenoids and has a 20,000 volt lightning resistance rating, which is three times higher than that of the Rain Bird solenoid.

A number of Rain Bird sprinkler heads in different configurations (90, 180, 360, etc., in 8 10 15, etc.) were purchased by me. ) and then I proceeded to use the Toro Design Center, where they helped me design my yard and provided advice on how to set up my sprinkler system. I did purchase every Toro funny pipe and connector that was available.

Though 90 degrees 10 sound the same whether it is a Toro, Rain Bird, or any other company, I was wondering if I could use the Rain Bird heads on my sprinkler body if they are Rain Bird and not Toro. They have measured my lawn and where the heads go, so I thought that could be different. If there is a significant difference, I will use Toro; if not, I will use my existing heads on my newly installed lawn. Sponsored.

FAQ

Is Rainbird compatible with Toro?

Toro® has designed and manufactured this product to fit within a sprinkler housing made by Rain Bird® Corporation, but Toro’s product is not manufactured by or affiliated with Rain Bird.

Can you interchange sprinkler head brands?

All brands stick to the same mechanism for each sprinkler head. This means it’s not important to buy the same brand as your broken sprinkler heads. As long as it is the same type, you should be good to go. However, you have to match the specs on the heads.

Are sprinkler nozzles interchangeable?

Nozzles are typically interchangeable and determine the pattern and radius of the water throw (e.g., half circle, full circle, etc.) Specialty patterns are also available for long, narrow areas.

Can you mix brands of sprinkler heads?

While you can mix different brands in the same zone, don’t mix the type of head because they have different flow rates. Rotor heads, spray heads, matched precipitation etc all throw water at a different rate.
