MP Rotator MPR40

A definite WATER CONSERVATION TOOL

The MPR40’s pressure activated, multifunction wiper seal has been designed to reduce flow-by. The zero flush seal gives you surefire operation at low pressures and enables more sprinkler heads on the same zone. The wiper seal is designed to grip the riser when operating and keep debris out of the seal when retracted. No more body cap leaks either. Put debris in its place, and end riser stick-ups.

The MP Rotator and The MPR40: The partnership the performs.

From our work with the revolutionary MP Rotator evolved the origins of a great idea. To maximize the results of this multi-stream rotor, we pursued the next logical step. Introducing the MPR40—Calibrated at a consistent 40 PSI, it is designed to provide optimal performance when combined with the MP Rotator. Together, the two are a true blend of technology and performance. In fact, the MPR40 is the only product of its kind. Discover the MPR40. Paired with the MP Rotator, it’s a partnership that performs.

What Makes Hunter Sprinklers the Easiest to Adjust?

MP Rotator MPR40 Ratchet Design

Our new two-piece ratchet design—with independent ratcheting ring—facilitates quicker, more precise sprinkler head adjustment. With its tough-as-nails, abrasion resistant, high impact material, it withstands any impact in higher pressure systems. Incredibly dirt tolerant, too. What more can we say?

MP Rotator MP Corner Lowdown

The MP Corner is an 8-15' (2.5-4.6 meter)sprinkler designed for tight corners that are difficult to irrigate properly with conventional sprinklers. It has an adjustable arc from 45° to 105°, maintains MPR at any arc, any radius and can be placed on the same zone with any other MP Rotator model.

The Lowdown

MP Strip

MP Rotator MP Strip Lowdown

The MP Left & Right Strips irrigate an area 5’ x 15’ (1.5-4.6 m) at 30 PSI (2.1 bar) at full radius. Flow rate at rectangular spacing = .19 GPM (.72 LPM). When the radius is reduced the pattern is 4’ x 12’ (1.2-3.7 m). Flow rate at rectangular spacing = .14 GPM (.53 LPM).

The MP Side Strip irrigates a strip 5’ x 30’ (1.5-9.1 m) at 30 PSI (2.1 bar) at full radius. Flow rate at rectangular spacing = .38 GPM (1.44 LPM). When the radius is reduced the pattern is 4’ x 24’ (1.2-7.3 m). Flow rate at rectangular spacing = .27GPM (1.02 LPM)

Easy radius adjustment and easy arc adjustment

Note

Radius reduction is intentionally limited by a slip clutch mechanism to ensure reliable rotation. To prevent damage during adjustment, the MP Rotator does not completely shut off like a spray nozzle. To achieve maximum radius reduction with any MP Rotator model use a 30 PSI (2 BAR) regulating spray body.

IMPORTANT

To achieve optimal results, replace all sprinklers on a zone with MP Rotators and adjust the run time accordingly. The precipitation rate of the MP Rotator is much lower than sprays and operating times will be similar to stream rotor zones.

A consistent operating pressure greater than > 55 PSI (3.7 BAR) shortens the life of the sprinkler, increases rotation speed, reduces sprinkler uniformity and voids the trade warranty.
