Maximize Radius and Uniformity Now there’s a sprinkler you can count on to give you both — distance of throw and uniformity. Plus the proven reliability Nelson Rotators® are known for the world over. The Nelson R2000 Rotator® uses the same unique, patented drive principle and simplicity of design as our other Rotator® models. But we’ve given it a diffuser device which “fills in” the sprinkler pattern for greater uniformity and allows for a long distance of throw comparable to an impact sprinkler!
The simple, snap-apart design is durable, reliable, and easy to repair and clean. Choose from 15 different plate options to achieve optimal trajectory and throw characteristics.
Applications:
The right combination of radius and uniformity makes the R2000 the ideal sprinkler for a variety of tree and field crop applications.
Applications include: under-tree irrigation and environmental control of tree fruit, vine, and tree nut crops — as well as overhead irrigation, cooling, and environmental control in tree, vine, small fruit, and nursery crops.
Why use Flow Control Nozzles?
- Constant flow over a range of pressure
- Increases field uniformity
- Low cost, high value
The 2000FC nozzles illustrated to the right are operating at the same flow. As pressure increases, the flexible flow washers reduce the orifice opening size giving a constant flow over a wide range of pressure.
Flow control nozzles (2000FC) are an excellent low cost option when system pressure ranges between 30-60 PSI (2.0-4.0 BAR).

Within the recommended pressure range of 30-60 PSI (2.0 - 4.0 BAR), flow control nozzles will flow regulate within a flow range of no more than 3.5% greater and 8% less than the nominal flow.
