Rain Bird MPR-15EST end strip spray nozzle - rectangular pattern 1.2 x 4.6 m

Rain Bird MPR-15EST end strip nozzle for narrow lawns

The Rain Bird MPR-15EST is a specialised end strip spray nozzle designed for automatic irrigation of narrow, rectangular lawn areas. It produces a fixed spray pattern approximately 1.2 m wide and up to 4.6 m long. This makes it particularly suitable for narrow grass strips alongside garden paths, patios, property boundaries and driveways, where conventional circular spray patterns may extend beyond the intended lawn area.

The distinguishing feature of the MPR-15EST is its intended installation position. The nozzle is installed at the midpoint of one of the short ends of a rectangular lawn strip. From this position, it distributes water along the length of the strip. This allows narrow garden sections to be included in an automatic irrigation system with a spray pattern suited to their shape.

Rectangular spray coverage up to 1.2 x 4.6 m

The Rain Bird MPR-15EST features a fixed rectangular end strip spray pattern. Depending on operating pressure, it covers an area measuring approximately 1.2 x 4.0 to 1.2 x 4.6 m. At the optimum operating pressure of 2.1 bar, the maximum coverage dimensions are 1.2 x 4.6 m. Its 30° spray trajectory supports water distribution along the narrow lawn area.

The integrated stainless steel adjustment screw allows the spray distance to be reduced. This helps you adapt the coverage to the length of your lawn strip during installation. The rectangular spray pattern itself is fixed and cannot be adjusted like an adjustable-arc VAN nozzle. For correct coverage, position the nozzle centrally at the short end of the strip and direct the spray pattern along its length.

Matched precipitation rates for efficient irrigation planning

The MPR-15EST belongs to the Rain Bird MPR Series. MPR stands for Matched Precipitation Rate and refers to coordinated precipitation rates across different nozzle patterns. The series includes conventional circular spray patterns and specialised strip patterns, allowing different lawn shapes to be incorporated into an irrigation system.

The MPR-15EST has a flow rate of approximately 1.7 to 2.3 litres per minute depending on operating pressure. At 2.1 bar, Rain Bird specifies a water consumption of approximately 140 litres per hour. Consider this water requirement when planning your irrigation zone. Available water pressure, correct sprinkler positioning and sufficient spray overlap are also important for reliable irrigation.

Easy installation on Rain Bird spray bodies

The Rain Bird MPR-15EST fits compatible Rain Bird spray bodies and suitable shrub adapters, including models from the Rain Bird 1800 Series. A white fine-mesh filter screen is supplied to help protect the nozzle from debris and maintain reliable water distribution. The stainless steel adjustment screw allows the spray distance to be reduced during installation.

Rain Bird also offers other strip nozzles for differently positioned lawn strips. The MPR-15CST is designed for a central sprinkler position, while the MPR-15SST provides coverage from the long side of a strip. The MPR-15LCS and MPR-15RCS are designed for left and right corner positions. These alternatives help you choose a suitable spray pattern for the shape and layout of your lawn.
