Features: Can be purchased with feed tube assembly Maximize Radius and Uniformity Now there’s a sprinkler you can count on to give you both — distance of throw and uniformity. Plus the proven reliability Nelson Rotators® are known for the world over. The Nelson R2000 Rotator® uses the same unique, patented drive principle and simplicity of design as our other Rotator® models. But we’ve given it a diffuser device which “fills in” the sprinkler pattern for greater uniformity and allows for a long distance of throw comparable to an impact sprinkler! The simple, snap-apart design is durable, reliable, and easy to repair and clean. Choose from 15 different plate options to achieve optimal trajectory and throw characteristics. Applications: The right combination of radius and uniformity makes the R2000 the ideal sprinkler for a variety of tree and field crop applications. Applications include: under-tree irrigation and environmental control of tree fruit, vine, and tree nut crops — as well as overhead irrigation, cooling, and environmental control in tree, vine, small fruit, and nursery crops. Why use Flow Control Nozzles? Constant flow over a range of pressure Increases field uniformity Low cost, high value The 2000FC nozzles illustrated to the right are operating at the same flow. As pressure increases, the flexible flow washers reduce the orifice opening size giving a constant flow over a wide range of pressure. Flow control nozzles (2000FC) are an excellent low cost option when system pressure ranges between 30-60 PSI (2.0-4.0 BAR).
