High-Efficiency Rotary Nozzle. Bigger Coverage, Less Water Waste.
The Rain Bird R-VAN24 Adjustable Rotary Nozzle is the largest-radius model in Rain Bird’s R-VAN series, delivering a 17 to 24 foot adjustable throw with a 45° to 270° adjustable arc — all without the need for any tools. Built on Rain Bird’s rotating stream technology, the R-VAN24 distributes multiple slow-moving water streams uniformly across its coverage zone, dramatically reducing runoff, erosion, and water waste compared to standard fixed spray nozzles. It’s the ideal nozzle for larger residential lawns, commercial turf strips, and any landscape zone where you need wide, even coverage in a wind-resistant, high-efficiency package.
What makes the R-VAN series stand out is its matched precipitation rate across different arc settings, radius adjustments, and R-VAN models. This means you can mix arc sizes within a single zone without creating dry spots or over-watered areas — a major advantage for irregular-shaped landscape beds and lawns. The R-VAN24’s large, wind-resistant water droplets cut through adverse conditions without misting or fogging, so your water lands where it’s supposed to even on breezy days. Retrofitting standard spray nozzles with R-VAN rotary nozzles can reduce flow by up to 60% and improve water efficiency by up to 30%, making these nozzles a smart upgrade for any existing irrigation system.
The R-VAN24 threads directly into any compatible Rain Bird spray body (1804, 1806, or 1812 — not compatible with 1802 or 1803 bodies), 1/2″ risers, or standard adapters. For smaller zones, DripWorks also carries the Rain Bird R-VAN18 (13–18 ft.) for mid-range applications. If you need full-rotation coverage in this radius range, consider the R-VAN24-360 full-circle model.
