HE-VAN High-Efficiency Variable Arc Nozzles

High-Efficiency Variable Arc Spray Nozzles

Rain Bird HE-VAN nozzles offer even coverage throughout the spray pattern, delivering a healthy, beautiful landscape. Gentle close‑in watering eliminates dry spots around the spray head. HE-VAN nozzles also generate large wind-resistant water droplets that prevent misting and airborne evaporation, so the right amount of water is delivered to the right place.

The high efficiency of the HE-VAN nozzle allows you to shorten your sprinkler run times by up to 35%, saving you water and money. Even coverage makes them the perfect choice for homeowners looking to conserve water while maintaining a healthy beautiful landscape.

Now available in popular 8', 10', 12’, and 15’ radii, HE-VAN nozzles also offer matched precipitation with Rain Bird MPR and U-Series nozzles.

Perfectly Paired for Pressure Regulation
