Nozzles are the heart of any irrigation system. The right choice determines watering uniformity, water consumption, and system longevity.
Nozzle types
1. Fixed spray nozzles
Spray water in a fan pattern at a fixed arc. Suitable for small areas up to 5 m (16 ft) radius.
- Radius: 1.5 — 5 m (5-16 ft)
- Arcs: 90°, 180°, 270°, 360°
- Precipitation rate: 40-50 mm/hr (high)
- Best for: narrow strips, flower beds, small lawns
2. MP Rotator
Multi-stream rotary nozzles. The sweet spot between spray heads and rotors.
- Radius: 2.5 — 10.7 m (8-35 ft)
- Arcs: 90° — 360° (adjustable)
- Precipitation rate: 10 mm/hr (low, uniform)
- Best for: lawns of any size, slopes, clay soils
3. Rotary nozzles (rotors)
Rotating sprinklers for large open areas.
- Radius: 6 — 20+ m (20-65+ ft)
- Arcs: 40° — 360°
- Precipitation rate: 10-15 mm/hr
- Best for: large lawns, sports fields, parks
How to choose?
- Measure your area — determines the required nozzle radius
- Check water pressure — MP Rotators need 1.7+ bar (25 PSI), rotors need 2.5+ bar (35 PSI)
- Evaluate the shape — complex shapes suit 360° nozzles
- Don't mix types in one zone — different precipitation rates cause uneven watering
