Introduction

Rain Bird R-VAN Adjustable Rotary Nozzles provide 
water efficiency and design flexibility.  R-VAN Adjustable 
Rotary Nozzles feature rotating stream technology which 
uniformly delivers water at a low precipitation rate, 
significantly reducing runoff and erosion.  Retrofitting 
standard spray nozzles with R-VAN Adjustable Rotary 
Nozzles can reduce flow by up to 60% and improve water 
efficiency by up to 30%. Nozzle spray pattern and distance 
are easily adjusted by hand with no tools required.
