Rain Bird HE-VAN High-Efficiency Variable Arc Spray Nozzles for Even Coverage & Wind Resistance

Rain Bird HE-VAN nozzles are engineered to deliver uniform water distribution and exceptional efficiency, making them the smart choice for conserving water while maintaining a lush, healthy landscape. With full adjustability from 0° to 360°, these nozzles adapt easily to irregularly shaped lawns and garden beds, eliminating the need to stock multiple fixed-arc models.

The unique spray pattern generates large, wind-resistant droplets that prevent misting and evaporation, ensuring water is delivered exactly where it’s needed. Gentle close-in watering around the spray head eliminates dry spots, while precise radius throw creates the cleanest edges of any variable arc nozzle on the market. Compared to standard VAN nozzles, HE-VAN models improve coverage by more than 40%, reducing overall run times by up to 35%—helping you save both water and money.

Designed to work seamlessly with Rain Bird’s PRS spray bodies at an optimum pressure of 30 psi, HE-VAN nozzles provide consistent performance across all spray patterns. With matched precipitation rates, they can be installed alongside Rain Bird MPR and U-Series nozzles in the same zone, delivering reliable and balanced irrigation across your landscape.
