This 10-count contractor pack offers consistent matched precipitation (MPR) performance, large droplet streams that resist misting in wind, and a manual flush feature for dependable operation in dirty or variable-source water conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this nozzle save water and prevent runoff?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe R-VAN 18 sprays at a low precipitation rate so water soaks rather than sheets off the surface, substantially reducing runoff and erosion.
