New High Performance Nozzles Earn the Coveted Pro-Spray® Name

Not every car can call itself a Rolls Royce.

Not every cut of beef can call itself filet mignon.

Not every piece of crystal can call itself Waterford.

To stake claim to a revered name with a sparkling reputation, you need to earn it by achieving a standard of excellence that sets you apart from everything else.

That’s why there has never been a nozzle whose quality and performance have entitled it to wear the Pro-Spray® name. Until now.

Hunter is proud to introduce Pro-Spray Fixed Pattern Nozzles, a new collection of nozzles available in the most popular arc patterns, made for use with the company’s Pro-Spray spray head.

Precise Edges, Optimum Droplet Size

“The Pro-Spray name has come to stand for our customers’ assurance of unsurpassed quality and performance in a professional-grade spray head,” said Gene Smith, Hunter spray head product manager. “Now, the name also guarantees the same high standards for spray nozzles.”

Smith said that the vast majority of spray heads that contractors install call for the use of standard angle nozzles—that is, full-circle, half-circle and quarter-circle patterns. When installing nozzles along straight runs or in areas that require 360º arcs, the new Pro-Spray nozzles can save labor by eliminating the need to adjust each nozzle to those common patterns.

The result of extensive field-testing and testing against competitive units, the Pro-Spray nozzles provide best-in-class performance.

The spray patterns of the Pro-Spray nozzles feature crisp, precise edges, the result of a consistent trajectory from all sides that assures delivery at the same high level of performance in every direction. Delivering water in such an exact manner, the nozzles will help you keep water right where you want it and off of neighboring walkways and hardscapes where you don’t.

“Our goal was to produce a nozzle that gives a true, exact arc, just as it is advertised,” said Smith. “When you install a Pro-Spray nozzle that says it’s 90 degrees, that is the precise arc you’re going to get. Not 95. Not 86. But 90 degrees exactly.”

Pro-Spray nozzles also minimize wind drift by emitting at the optimum droplet size: large enough to avoid the problems of misting, small enough to provide nice, even distribution.

Better Engineering Means Better Performance

Hunter was able to create a superior performing nozzle thanks to some innovative engineering processes, unlike anything the competition is doing. To begin with, the nozzle flow control orifice is established by way of two-part interaction. This method prevents weld flash from entering this area, resulting in more precise flow. What this means for you: more consistent performance from nozzle to nozzle.

Another benefit of this two-part interaction is a more consistent pattern. By keeping the weld flash away from the flow control orifice the edges are always sharp, the pattern always full, and the turf always green.

“Field tests with contractors helped us confirm the superior performance of the Pro-Spray nozzles,” said Smith. “Customers consistently reported better coverage, better spray pattern, and better results with these new nozzles compared to their current brand.”

Improved Color-Coding I.D. System

Five different radius ranges are available, each able to be reduced if needed for fine-tuning and each featuring Hunter’s improved system of color-coding for quick and easy radius identification.

“It has never been so easy to identify what nozzle is installed in a spray head,” said Smith. “With our improved color-coding I.D. system you’ll no longer need to turn on the system in order to view the sprinkler from the side as it pops up. Now, you can see from the top the color-coded plug that identifies the particular nozzle. And all this while the system is off.”

Smith pointed out that a quick peek will let you know exactly what size (radius) nozzle is installed simply by its color—brown is 8 feet, red is 10 feet, green is 12 feet, black is 15 feet, and gray is 17 feet.

The new Pro-Spray nozzles also boast Hunter’s matched precipitation for even distribution of water regardless of the arc. This allows all quarter-, half-, and full-circle nozzles to be used on the same zone and ensures that the precipitation rate of each will be equivalent.

Hunter’s new Pro-Spray nozzles can also be used with Hunter Institutional Spray heads. The nozzles are now available at your local authorized Hunter distributor, so stop in and pick some up for your next spray job.
