The Rain Bird 10H MPR Nozzle is a fixed spray nozzle engineered for 10-foot half-circle (180°) coverage — making it the go-to choice for lawn edges, sidewalk borders, fence lines, and any turf area where a full-circle or quarter-circle pattern would overspray onto hardscape. Part of Rain Bird's industry-standard Matched Precipitation Rate (MPR) Series, the 10H delivers the same precipitation rate as all other MPR nozzles in the 5, 8, 10, 12, and 15 Series — meaning you can mix arc sizes and radii on the same valve circuit without creating wet or dry spots. That's a critical advantage when designing efficient, professional-grade sprinkler zones.
Rain Bird MPR nozzles are installed by more irrigation contractors than any other brand, and the 10H has been a staple of residential and light commercial system design for decades. The nozzle features a stainless steel adjustment screw for fine-tuning flow and radius, a female thread inlet that fits all Rain Bird spray heads and shrub adapters, and a built-in 1800 Series white filter screen (.035" x .035") that maintains radius precision and prevents clogging from particulates. The top is color-coded for quick field identification — so installers can instantly verify the correct nozzle is installed without running the system. Operating pressure ranges from 15 to 30 PSI, with an optimum of 30 PSI. Spacing is adjustable from 3 to 20 feet depending on your zone layout.
To get the most out of this nozzle, pair it with a compatible Rain Bird spray body from our full selection of pop-up spray heads. If your supply pressure exceeds 30 PSI, Rain Bird recommends using a pressure-regulated spray head (PRS) body to protect nozzle performance. DripWorks carries a complete range of pressure regulators if inline regulation is needed. Need a different radius or arc?

What does "MPR" mean and why does it matter?
MPR stands for Matched Precipitation Rate. It means that all nozzles in the Rain Bird MPR series — regardless of their arc (90°, 180°, 360°) or radius (5', 8', 10', 12', 15') — apply water at the same rate per hour. This allows you to mix different pattern sizes on the same irrigation zone without creating wet or dry spots, which is a major design advantage for irregularly shaped lawns and landscapes.
What spray body does the 10H nozzle fit?
The 10H fits all Rain Bird spray heads and shrub adapters with a standard female thread nozzle seat. This includes the Rain Bird 1800 Series pop-up spray bodies available at DripWorks. Browse our full selection of compatible spray bodies.
What is the difference between the 10H and the 10Q or 10F?
All three are 10-foot radius MPR nozzles. The difference is the arc: the 10H covers a 180° half circle (ideal for edges and borders), the 10Q covers a 90° quarter circle (ideal for corners), and the 10F covers a full 360° circle (ideal for open center areas). All three share the same precipitation rate, so they can be used on the same zone. See the full range in our nozzle category.
What pressure does this nozzle require?
The 10H operates between 15 and 30 PSI, with an optimum operating pressure of 30 PSI. If your system pressure exceeds 30 PSI, Rain Bird recommends using a pressure-regulated spray head body (PRS model) or an inline pressure regulator to maintain consistent nozzle performance and prevent misting.
What is the filter screen shipped with this nozzle?
Each 10H nozzle ships with a Rain Bird 1800 Series white filter screen (.035" x .035"). This screen prevents debris from clogging the nozzle orifice and helps maintain accurate radius adjustment over time. It is designed to seat inside the spray head body below the nozzle.
Can I adjust the radius on this nozzle?
Yes. The 10H includes a stainless steel adjustment screw that allows you to reduce the throw radius below the rated 10 feet. This is useful for fitting the spray pattern into tighter spaces without switching to a smaller-radius nozzle. Note that reducing radius also reduces flow rate.
What does the top color coding mean?
Rain Bird MPR nozzles use a Top Color-Coded™ system to allow quick identification of the nozzle's radius and arc at a glance — even when the system is off. This makes it much faster to audit and verify correct nozzle installation in the field without needing to run the system or remove the nozzle from the head.
Is this nozzle compatible with smart irrigation controllers?
Yes. The 10H works with any standard sprinkler system controlled by a solenoid valve, including smart controllers from Rain Bird, Rachio, Orbit B-Hyve, and others. DripWorks carries a complete range of irrigation timers and controllers compatible with valve-based spray systems.
