What are the typical spray angles for flat-fan nozzles?

• A. 65°, 73°, 80°
• B. 50°, 60°, 70°
• C. 30°, 45°, 60°
• D. 90°, 110°, 130°

Answer: (A)

Spray angle tells you how wide the spray pattern from a nozzle will be. Flat-fan nozzles come in a few standard angles so you can choose one that matches your swath width, nozzle spacing, and speed to get even coverage. The common set you’ll see for ornamental and turf work is 65°, 73°, and 80°. These three provide narrow, medium, and wide patterns, giving flexibility to cover turf or plants evenly without gaps or excessive overlap. At smaller angles, you’d need closer spacing or slower speed to maintain coverage; at larger angles, the pattern is wider and can drift more easily if height, pressure, or wind aren’t controlled.
