Standard arc nozzles can't solve every irrigation challenge — and that's exactly why Hunter created the MP Rotator® Specialty Nozzles. This family of four purpose-built nozzles tackles the irregular spaces that leave conventional rotary heads under- or over-watering: tight corners, narrow side strips along walls and fences, and shallow rectangular planting beds. All four nozzles share the core MP Rotator technology — slow, multi-stream rotation, matched precipitation rates, and a female-threaded inlet — so they integrate seamlessly with the rest of your MP Rotator system without causing uneven wet or dry zones.
The lineup includes four distinct nozzles, each color-coded for easy field identification: the MP Corner (Turquoise) for tight 45°–105° arcs in corners with an 8'–15' radius; the MP Left Corner Strip (Ivory) for a 5' × 15' left-oriented rectangular pattern; the MP Right Corner Strip (Copper) for the same 5' × 15' pattern in the opposite orientation; and the MP Side Strip (Brown) for longer narrow runs up to 5' × 30'. All models operate at a matched precipitation rate of approximately 0.4 in/hr at the recommended 40 PSI, and strip pattern radius can be adjusted by up to 25% without disrupting precipitation uniformity. All nozzles include a removable inlet filter for easy cleaning and a female-threaded inlet for standard spray body compatibility.

What is the difference between the MP Corner and the MP Strip nozzles?
The MP Corner (turquoise) produces a traditional arc-shaped pattern adjustable from 45° to 105°, making it ideal for tight corners where even a quarter-circle nozzle would overshoot. The MP Strip nozzles (ivory, copper, brown) produce rectangular patterns — either 5'×15' or 5'×30' — specifically designed for narrow turf or planting strips where any arc pattern would waste water on hardscape or structures.
What is the difference between the Left Strip, Right Strip, and Side Strip?
The Left Corner Strip (Ivory) and Right Corner Strip (Copper) both cover a 5' × 15' rectangular pattern, but they orient in opposite directions from the head — use them as a matched pair at opposite ends of a narrow bed. The Side Strip (Brown) covers a wider 5' × 30' pattern and is intended for longer runs such as parking strips, medians, or side-yard turf strips.
What operating pressure do MP Rotator specialty nozzles need?
All four specialty nozzles operate between 30 and 55 PSI, with the optimal pressure being 40 PSI. Running at 40 PSI ensures the best balance of radius, distribution uniformity, and matched precipitation rate.
Can I mix MP Rotator specialty nozzles with standard MP Rotator nozzles in the same zone?
Yes — all MP Rotator nozzles share the same matched precipitation rate of approximately 0.4 in/hr (using single-row or triangular spacing). This means you can mix specialty and standard models in the same zone without creating dry or soggy spots, as long as you maintain consistent head spacing and use the appropriate spray body pressure regulation.
What spray body do these nozzles install on?
MP Rotator specialty nozzles use a standard female-threaded connection and install directly onto any compatible Hunter spray body or pop-up body with a male-threaded nozzle seat. For best performance at the recommended 40 PSI, use the Hunter PRS40 pressure-regulating spray body.
Can I adjust the strip radius?
Yes. All three strip nozzles (MP-LCS-515, MP-RCS-515, and MP-SS-530) allow radius adjustment of up to 25% using the MP Rotator Adjustment Tool. Unlike conventional nozzles, the MP Rotator is engineered to maintain its matched precipitation rate even after radius adjustment — so tightening the radius won't cause over-watering.
Do these qualify for water rebates?
Yes. This product qualifies for rebates through certain Bay Area water districts. Visit the BAWSCA Droplet Portal to check if your local district is participating. MP Rotators are widely recognized by water agencies as a water-efficient upgrade from conventional spray nozzles due to their lower application rate and improved distribution uniformity.
What tool do I need to install and adjust these nozzles?
A complimentary MP Rotator Adjustment Tool (MPRTOOL) is automatically added to your cart with every order of MP Rotator nozzles. This tool is used to set and verify the arc on corner nozzles and adjust the strip radius. Additional tools are available for purchase.
