Diameters are based on a 24° trajectory for the 75, 100 and 150 Series and a 27° trajectory for the 200 Series. The lower trajectory angles result in better wind fighting ability, but
reduced throw distances. Throw reduction depends upon nozzle flow rate. In general, the throw distance is reduced approximately 3% with each 3° drop in trajectory angle. Use
of the wedge insert to modify trajectory will affect distance. Big Gun® performance data has been obtained under ideal test conditions and may be adversely affected by wind, poor
hydraulic entrance conditions or other factors. Test riser height of 3 feet (0.91 meters) above measurement surface. No representation regarding droplet condition, uniformity, application rate, or suitability for a particular application is made herein.
Additional nozzle options and sizes available. Go to www.nelsonirrigation.com or contact the factory for nozzle performance.
Taper Bore Nozzle. Most common nozzle type. Used where the available water flow and pressure are consistent. A nozzle size
must be specified when ordering a Big Gun with a Taper Bore Nozzle. The Nozzle Valve End Gun requires a Taper Bore Nozzle.
Ring Nozzle Set. The Ring Nozzle Set is an easy and economic way of changing nozzles to match the available water flow
and pressure. These are commonly used where the available water flow and pressure are variable and or when the Big Gun is
shifted between various water sources with different capacities. The abrupt orifice of the nozzle is less efficient so the radius
of throw is less than that achieved with an equivalent diameter Taper Bore nozzle. The abrupt orifice of the Ring Nozzle does
break the stream of water up more, which can be an advantage in low pressure applications. The Ring Nozzle comes with a set
of rings. The Ring Nozzle should not be used with the Nozzle Valve End Gun.
Taper Ring Nozzle. This nozzle combines the changeability of a Ring Nozzle with some of the efficiency of a Taper Bore
Nozzle. When ordering the Taper Ring Nozzle, specify the size as only one Taper Ring comes with the nozzle body and cap.
Additional taper ring sizes can be purchased. The Taper Ring Nozzle should not be used with the Nozzle Valve End Gun.
