The Hunter Pro Adjustable Pop-Up Nozzles are one of the most versatile and reliable spray nozzles available for residential and commercial irrigation systems. Engineered by Hunter Industries to fit any landscape layout, these nozzles adjust to any arc from 0° to 360° — giving you the precision of a fixed nozzle with the flexibility of full-circle or part-circle coverage. Whether you're watering a narrow planting strip, a curved flower bed, a tight corner, or a wide-open lawn, the Pro Adjustable Nozzle can handle it without wasting a drop.
Available in five radius sizes at DripWorks — 8', 10', 12', 15', and 17' — these nozzles are color-coded by radius for fast field identification and easy inventory management. Each nozzle is engineered to produce larger-than-average water droplets, which minimizes misting and wind drift while delivering more uniform distribution across the spray zone. The easy-grip top allows for quick arc adjustment without tools, and the 25% radius reduction screw lets you fine-tune the throw to prevent overspray onto pavement, fences, or structures. Every nozzle includes a built-in cone filter that seats inside the spray body riser for added debris protection. The average precipitation rate is approximately 1.5 inches per hour, making mixed-radius zones easier to manage with matched run times.
These nozzles are designed to thread directly into Hunter's standard Pro-Spray pop-up bodies (sold separately). For optimal performance, Hunter recommends pairing them with the Pro-Spray PRS30 pressure-regulated body, which regulates operating pressure to a steady 30 PSI — the recommended operating pressure for this nozzle line. Different radius nozzles can be mixed within the same zone, and because each nozzle carries a matched precipitation rate, uniform coverage is maintained across different throw distances. If you're planning a full sprinkler system, DripWorks also carries a wide range of irrigation timers and controllers and zone control valves to complete your setup.

What spray bodies are these nozzles compatible with?
Hunter Pro Adjustable Nozzles are designed to thread into Hunter Pro-Spray pop-up bodies using a standard female thread connection. They are fully compatible with Hunter's standard Pro-Spray bodies as well as the pressure-regulated Pro-Spray PRS30, which Hunter recommends for maintaining a consistent 30 PSI at the nozzle. DripWorks carries a selection of compatible spray bodies to pair with these nozzles.
Can I mix different radius nozzles in the same zone?
Yes. One of the key advantages of the Hunter Pro Adjustable line is that different radius models can be used within the same irrigation zone. Because all models are engineered for a matched precipitation rate of approximately 1.5 inches per hour, heads of different radii will apply water at the same rate — so your turf and plantings receive uniform coverage even if you mix a 10' and a 15' nozzle in the same zone.
How do I adjust the arc?
The arc is adjusted using the easy-grip top of the nozzle. Simply twist the top to your desired arc between 0° and 360°. No special tools are required. For fine-tuning, the radius reduction screw on the nozzle body can reduce the throw distance by up to 25%, helping prevent overspray onto sidewalks, driveways, or walls.
What is the recommended operating pressure?
Hunter recommends operating these nozzles at 30 PSI for optimal radius, uniformity, and precipitation rate. To ensure this, pair them with a Pro-Spray PRS30 pressure-regulated body or install an inline pressure regulator on each zone. Operating at pressures significantly above 30 PSI can cause misting, reduced uniformity, and increased water waste.
What does the included cone filter do?
Each nozzle ships with a cone filter that installs inside the pop-up riser. This filter catches debris before it reaches the nozzle orifice, helping prevent clogging and extending nozzle life — particularly important in areas with older pipes or where sediment is common in the water supply.
How is this different from a fixed-arc nozzle?
Fixed-arc nozzles (like Hunter's Pro Fixed line) are preset to a specific arc — 90°, 120°, 180°, or 360° — and cannot be changed without swapping the nozzle. Pro Adjustable nozzles eliminate this limitation: you set the exact arc needed in the field, from a tight 0° to a full 360°. This makes them ideal for irregular planting areas, curved beds, and corner locations where a fixed arc would result in overspray or dry spots.
Can these be used with a smart irrigation controller?
Absolutely. These are standard spray nozzles that operate with any irrigation system using solenoid valves and a controller. They work seamlessly with smart controllers from Hunter, Rachio, Orbit B-Hyve, and others. DripWorks carries a full range of compatible irrigation timers and controllers if you're building or upgrading your system.
Are these WaterSense or rebate-eligible?
Hunter's Pro Adjustable nozzles are standard spray nozzles. If maximum water efficiency and rebate eligibility are priorities, consider upgrading to Hunter's MP Rotator rotary nozzles, which are WaterSense certified and apply water at a much lower precipitation rate, reducing runoff on slopes and compacted soils.
