My Grandparents have the Rain-Jet 800 Series B in their yard.

Can still get 3rd party replacement parts for the Rain-Jet 800 Series B?

[RainJetSprinklers]

@simdude2u

it depends on the pattern of the sprinkler. You can still get aftermarket full circle nozzles inserts that fit the 800 B body's.They are listed on eBay. If they are other patterns (ie half -circle, quarter, etc) you will have to either scan eBay pretty often or replace the spray head all together. Understand that if you replace one spray head that the new spray heads put out far less water than the Rain Jet heads did. So replacing all the heads may be the best option. Use rain bird.

Hey.  I just listed a Rain Jet RJV-100 automatic valve on eBay. NIB. I didn't see one in your collection. I have three of them.

I wqould like to purchase from your collection a RainJet 851 B full circle sprinkler. How much would you sell one for. With a water meter now installed on my home, I need a matching pair for my front yard. any help, please.

[porchy1970]

We've recently bought a house with a Rain Jet Sprinkler system but do not have operating instructions. Do you have any manuals for the system you could share?

[RainJetSprinklers]

@porchy1970 If your talking about having a sprinkler system with a Rain Jet controller or sprinkler timer, I would look on Lawn Genie's website. If it was sprinkler system consisting of Rain Jet components like sprinklers and valves, there will be no manual for it. That would be like saying "Do you have a manual for my house?" If it has sprinklers and valves it's pretty straightforward in operation, If you can't figure it out, I would strongly recommend calling a irrigation contractor.

You can reach me at tnr a t rt66 dot c o m. thanks.

[wanttobuyrainjet]

I have 5 original boxes - 851C, 852C, 861C, 862C, and 866C. Are you interested? I need either the complete sprinkler or just the brass inserts for 2 of 852C and 1 of 851C. If you have any for sale I am interested. Please email and we can discuss details. Thanks.

[jroth1988]

Hey, can you tell me the specs on the 851C and the 852C?

Thanks!

[RainJetSprinklers]

851C is a center strip (parkway strip) in a plastic 800B series body. 852C is a end strip in a 800B series body.

[jroth1988]

Hey, Thanks for the quick response! Would you mind also telling me the dimensions (distance of throw) too? I appreciate your help.

[RainJetSprinklers]

The 851C has a throw of 5x40. The 852C has a throw of 5x25.

[darylkeefer]

I have come across 10 in the box Rain Jet No. 55C brass full circle 34' diameter spray pattern sprinkler heads. Would you be interested in them?

[RainJetSprinklers]

@darylkeefer

I sent you a message.

[jroth1988]

Can you tell me who you purchased some of these from on ebay? I sold allot of these before. I also found one more 75C (out of the box), can you tell me the specs on it! I plan on listing it up on ebay soon.

thank you!

[RainJetSprinklers]

I purchased them from a guy in Colorado, I don't remember anything other than that. A 75c should be a full circle with a brass casting that shoots water a max of 44 feet. Thanks

[kybriggs82]

I want to buy a RainJet 800 Series circular sprinkler medium to large area throw from your collections. Price and shipping? Let me know.. Any Help?

[chromolitho]

nice collection you have there

[heroknaderi]

nice sprinklers

[paulmaisdotcom]

I am looking to buy a sprinkler that throws the water in a square pattern approximately 25 by 25 feet. Does anybody sell these?

[RainJetSprinklers]

Rain bird makes one, I've never seen one at home depot though. Try ace or lowes. Also, the square comes with a sure-pop economy body only. Consider buying a rain bird 1800 body to upgrade while your at the hardware store. The 1800 does not come in square so you will have to buy the square sure-pop and 1800 body.

Thanks

[kybriggs82]

I purchased a RAIN JET series 800B sprinkler but the center brass piece is for rectangler patterns.. Do you have a brass full circle piece I can replace inside my sprinkler?

[RainJetSprinklers]

A square pattern will work in a area needing a circular. If you actually look at the square pattern when it is in use, you will notice it's more of a circle. The only difference between a square pattern insert and full circle is a hole, the square has 4 holes on the button, the circle has 3. Remember that a Rain Jet sprinkler has a much higher GPM output, than say a rainbird 1800. Thanks and feel free to ask me any questions.

[kybriggs82]

What pattern is the RainJet series 800 b head 51 and head 52 ?

[RainJetSprinklers]

51 is a parkway strip that waters 5x40 and a 52 is a end strip that waters 5x25. The 800 series comes with a flow adjuster on the head. I'm guessing that you are refering to the ones on eBay.

[tylenerose]

Do you have brass head for #66 and #73? How much including shipping to So Cal? Thanks!

[RainJetSprinklers]

#66 being a medium square having a 1/2 inch brass casting. And a #73 being the second to largest full circle having a 3/4 brass casting? Sorry, I do not currently have any for sale. You can always use galvanized or plastic female adapters, that is what I use for the rain jet's in my lawn. I am working on some reproducing the brass castings.

[tylenerose]

My dad is looking for the black plastic body for Rain Jet 800 Series B (Brass Head No. 66) sprinklers. Do you have any such thing for sale?

[RainJetSprinklers]

Yes, due to the rarity, $11 takes it home. It is in good, but used condition.

[tylenerose]

How many of the brass head and plastic body together do you have?

[wbdb4ever]

would u like a brand new in the box since 1984 rainjet rjc-6 controller?

[RainJetSprinklers]

Depends on condition of box and so forth.

[EMFINC]

I have a box full of these sprinklers from rain jet do you need some

[RainJetSprinklers]

You bet! What all do you have? How can I get some?

[kybriggs82]

I am looking for a Rain Jet 800B full circle sprinkler. Any help please..

[RainJetSprinklers]

Sure, I can sell you one.

[kybriggs82]

How much for each and what is your shipping cost to California 95382. How many do you have? I need 2 but 1 will help. Thanks

[RainJetSprinklers]

I have a couple, price is $15 bucks each this includes a reconditioned unit that has body and stem. I will get a quote from usps about the shipping.

[kybriggs82]

Great.. This is complete units that upon arrival are operational correct? Let me know basic shipping and payment required.. Bank of America cashiers check ok or Pay Pal?

[RainJetSprinklers]

Hey sorry for the slow response. Shipping would be about $10. I prefer cashiers check because pay-pal is run by ebay, and ebay is evil! Thanks

Nice collection. I worked at RainJet as a 16-year-old kid summer of 1957. My dad was production manager, and I was shipper, boxing up sprinklers for hardware stores plus warranteed repairs direct to customers.

John Hruby is pronounced like "ruby". He was a brilliant engineer, nice guy. John Drew and his wife were personal friends of my parents.

I could tell you stories. ;-) If you have any questions, I'll try to answer them if I can.

[RainJetSprinklers]

Wow your the first employee that I've been able to find. Thanks for contacting me! I've got a few questions that I sent you in a message. I would love to hear some of your stories!

[isk8likeaposer]

Oh and I forgot to mention, I used to have that exact same timer at my old house.

[RainJetSprinklers]

It's a fa.irily good timer, I wouldn't compare it agianst a irritrol or any thing but it's easy to program and dependable.

[isk8likeaposer]

Yea it was easy to use. Right now I have a 12-station Toro. I'm a dummie when it comes to programming controllers, but this one is easy to program and I can section off all my lawn stations from my planters on different programs. I've heard good things about the irritrol timers too. Never used one though.

[isk8likeaposer]

I got a lot of 6 brass rainjets. Not sure of the model, but they're 3/4" threads and all have a brass riser and pressure regulator on the bottom. I'm more into the old solid cast iron impact sprinklers, like you'll see in older parks and schools. Glad to know I'm not the only one who collects this stuff.

[RainJetSprinklers]

Oh really, cool. Do you have any buckner "rocker jet" impacts?

[isk8likeaposer]

no I don't, most of the stuff I have is for/from underground systems. The 5 Buckner sprinklers I do have say IB100 and IB101. The 100s are full circle with large dual opposite nozzles, and the 101s are part circle with a 9/32" nozzle.

[krankiev]

An odd collection, nice.

[RainJetSprinklers]

So many rain jet's on ebay; so hard to resist!

[DeltaWound]

LOL, people collect some weird crap.

[RainJetSprinklers]

Cool! 5 dollar footlongs at subway!

[DeltaWound]

ROFLMFAO!

Oh, the randomness!

[RainJetSprinklers]

[yuandrew]

I have a small collection of irrigation products as well; a few Rain Bird SurePop heads, a 22SA rotor plus an APAS valve but the majority of my "sprinkler parts" are DIG brand drip irrigation products.

"Well, yeah, you get the point"

Next time I see a geyser in my next door neighbor's yard; I'll know who to look for.

(They have the black shrub head next to the "gray" one you took)

[RainJetSprinklers]

Lol, yeah I'm ashamed of myself but it's rare and just sitting there. Your neighbors have a rare head. I installed an entire drip system in my yard.
