The center collar twists for variable-arc adjustment from 0° to as wide as 360° (model-dependent), and the stainless steel screw on top fine-tunes flow and radius. The textured base and collar grip easily even with wet hands — no special tools, no driver-slip during the tweak. Fits any Rain Bird 1800 series spray body, 5000 series rotor body, and standard shrub adapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Installers Pick VAN Nozzles\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable arc — one nozzle covers any wedge from 0° up to 330° (6\/8 ft) or 360° (10\/12\/15 ft); no more juggling 90° vs. 180° vs. 270° fixed nozzles in the truck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo-tool arc adjustment — twist the center collar by hand to widen or narrow the pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel adjustment screw — sets flow and trims radius (good for hitting a fence-line without overshoot)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaptured screw slot — the driver doesn’t slip when adjusting on-grade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhysical left-edge indicator — feel the fixed left edge so you can index the pattern correctly under the dial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShips with a removable blue inlet filter (.02″ × .02″ mesh) — holds radius adjustment under dirty municipal water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrop-in compatible with all Rain Bird 1800-series pop-ups, 5000-series rotors, and standard shrub adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePick Your Throw Radius\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe VAN family covers 5 throw radii.
