The Toro 89-1482 is a 5' 180° nozzle from the MPR Nozzle Series. It features a matched precipitation rate (MPR) which ensures all similar nozzles in the sprinkler system apply water at approximately the same rate. These MPR nozzles come pre-installed with Pressure Compensation Discs that conserve the water but eliminate excessive misting, which can lead to evaporation and dry spots.

It has a 5' spray radius with an adjustment screw on the top that allows for a 25% radius reduction. Each nozzle has a customized screen for consistent water flow and fine-mesh, snap-in filter screens for nozzles with lower flow applications.
MPR spray nozzles come in a variety of patterns and sizes, which include 5', 8', 10', 12', and 15' distances and 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, and the full-spray patterns as well as Side, Center, and End strip Patterns. And an impressive 2-year warranty against manufacturer defects and malfunctions.
