Rain Bird VAN nozzle chart (HE-VAN)
From Rain Bird's HE-VAN performance chart, zero wind. Rain Bird notes you may need to turn the radius screw to reach catalog radius and flow below full arc.
HE-VAN nozzles turn to any arc. Flow goes up with the arc you set, so the water rate stays matched. Use these when a bed or lawn edge isn't a neat quarter or half circle.

How to read it
gpm is what one nozzle uses: add them up for a zone and keep it under what your water supply gives (our pressure and flow test works that out). in/hr is how fast water lands when heads are spaced head to head, at 50% of the throw diameter: square is a grid, triangle is staggered rows. Min. for ½ in is how long a zone runs to put down half an inch at the square rate. For your own lawn, soil and watering days, use the sprinkler run time calculator.
