MP Rotator® Nozzle - Precipitation Rates

What is the difference between the MP Rotator Standard and MP800 Nozzle Families?

MP Rotator Standard Nozzles have the lowest precipitation rate in the industry at 0.4 in/hr (10 mm/hr). These models eliminate runoff in most soil types and provide uniform coverage, from 5' (1.5 m) wide side strips up to a radius of 10.7m (1.8-7.3m for the MP800 Family). The MP800 Series has a 20 mm/hr precipitation rate for heavier water applications such as spray retrofits or tight water windows.

How can I tell the difference between the MP Rotator Standard and MP800 Nozzle Families?

MP Rotator Standard Nozzles are colour-coded with black bodies or canisters while the MP800 Nozzles have grey bodies.

Can I use MP Rotator Side Strip Nozzles with MP800 Nozzles?

Yes! Depending on the layout of the side strip heads, the precipitation rate will match either the MP Rotator Standard or MP800 Nozzles. After determining head spacing, use the Total Area Method to calculate the precipitation rate to see which family is matched.
