42SA / 42SA+ / 52SA
Gear Drive Rotor Nozzle Set

Rain Bird® nozzle sets for the 42SA+ Rotor are designed to save water with even and efficient coverage. Rotors apply different amounts of water depending on the pattern that they are set to water. A rotor set to water just 1/4 of a full circle applies more water than a rotor set to water a full 360º, assuming the nozzles are the same. Changing nozzles can help even out the amount of water being sprayed between rotors that are set for different patterns. This will help maintain a healthier lawn and save water (see images A-C below for examples).

Note: If all rotors on a single zone are set to water the same size area, you do not need to change the nozzle that comes pre-installed.
