water eciency and design exibility. R-VAN Adjustable
Rotary Nozzles feature rotating stream technology which
uniformly delivers water at a low precipitation rate,
signicantly reducing runo and erosion. Retrotting
standard spray nozzles with R-VAN Adjustable Rotary
Nozzles can reduce ow by up to 60% and improve water
eciency by up to 30%. Nozzle spray pattern and distance
are easily adjusted by hand with no tools required.
