Check Ace Hardware at Southern Trace. They carry Hunter products.

ACE Hardware sells Hunter nozzles. But, that particular nozzle, 5 CST B, is a special one that sprays in two directions, for a linear row of plants. I needed one a few months ago and could not get it anywhere in the area, including ACE. I had to order it from Sprinklerwarehouse.com.

I think the Hunter 17A is adjustable, but it will only spray in one direction. The 5 CST B nozzle is designed to be used on the side yard of a courtyard villa to spray in two directions without getting water on the exterior wall or on the sidewalk. I went to 3 ACE Hardware stores, and none of them carry that nozzle. Sprinklerwarehouse.com has the 5 CST B nozzle.

It looks like you would need the Rainbird 5cst-b nozzle to match the Hunter. Here is a link.

5CSTB - 5 ft.

I doubt that you will find this nozzle in a local store. You can either order the actual Hunter nozzle at sprinklerwarehouse.com or order the Rainbird equivalent. CST stands for center strip stream where the nozzle has two holes 180 degrees apart to produce two separate streams of water.

I would have suggested Amazon. To be honest they scare me. We are a prime customer. Through their movie they even control what I watch. That obscure head.
I'll bet they have it. As a Prime customer you get less 5% and free shipping with I think it is two day delivery. Oh and if it is wrong you can return it for free. It seems the original post has been driving around for hours and not finding it. Sears, perhaps the first major mail order firm used to sell kits to build your own home. Hum perhaps Amazon will go down that route or have they already?

Amazon is always my first choice for everything. But, when I needed that particular nozzle last year, I searched everywhere locally and online, and the only place I found it was Sprinkler Warehouse.

Because they can and rocket fuel prices are going up. :)

I don't have their credit card, but I will pay for that $139 annual fee in the first month. I get about 3 to 4 Amazon deliveries every week. Most of the time, I get free shipping and save time, gas, and money on almost everything. My latest purchase was some Scotch super glue for $3.69, delivered free to my house in one day. Saved a few dollars and a 10 mile round trip to Lowes.

Your smart.
I also order from Amazon with free shipping, and return it for any reason.

You're right. I thought I copied the cst, but copied the wrong head somehow... thanks for correcting my mistake.

Saved a few dollars and a 10 mile round trip to Lowes. Yup, agree 100%. The driver and I are on a first name basis. :) Still, $20 increase is way too much IMO as they certainly aren't "suffering". Unfortunately, it won't stop me from renewing. By the way, my neighbor orders without Prime and while they don't advertise it she says most of her packages arrive in 1-2 days anyway as long as it's their truck coming around but she has to spend (I think it is) $35 minimum to get free shipping.

You can buy gift of Amazon and lock in price for years Yes, true although tomorrow (FEB 18TH) is the last day to do that and an excellent way to save a few bucks but for me it doesn't pay as I share my account with 4 relatives at different addresses and we share the cost. That "feature" is no longer available but previous family member groups are grandfathered in. They stopped doing that about 5 or 6 years ago and have a different "family" membership plan now which is useless. If I cancel and rejoin which is required for the "hack" I lose my family group and the cost share. The "family" ONLY gets the free prime shipping and none of the other perks. That plus I'm not sure if tying up 2 or 3 years of Prime gifts $$$ is worth it to me even if I did not lose the family members to save $20/yr. But that's just me, others can certainly benefit.

I have a hunter spray nozzle that broke. the top has 5 CST B written on it

Anybody know the compatible rainbird model as Lowes does not carry Hunter nozzles

Thank you

If you live south off 466A go to Central Pro at 2404 W. Main Street in Leesburg. They supply the majority of the commercial landscapers with Hunter components. They sell to the public at about a third of the cost of Lowes, Home Depot or Ace.

Have you tried the Wildwood Ace at 300 Shopping Center Dr? They are very helpful and have a large selection of irrigation parts.
