The Leader in Quality, Performance & Support

In the field of large-volume sprinklers, Nelson Big Guns are recognized the world over as the leader in quality, performance and technical support. They are engineered and precision manufactured for heavy-duty reliability and long wear life. Every Nelson Big Gun is subjected to the toughest inspection testing and quality control standards in the industry including individual water testing of every gun at the factory.

Durable and reliable with engineered simplicity.

The preferred choice for tough applications.

Withstands the test of time.

The only gun for hour after hour, year after year operation.
WORKS RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX. Nelson pioneered the concept of a slow, steady and uniform forward and reverse drive action. The drive vane automatically compensates through the full range of nozzle sizes and pressures.

SET IT AND FORGET IT. A simple, positive, reliable adjustment allows for setting the arc to within 1 degree, without overriding the stops. The setting will not change over time, a concept proven with years in the field.

Diameters are based on a 24 trajectory for the 75, 100 and 150 Series and a 27 trajectory for the 200 Series. The lower trajectory angles result in better wind fighting ability, but reduced throw distances. Throw reduction depends upon nozzle flow rate. In general, the throw distance is reduced approximately 3% with each 3 drop in trajectory angle. Use of the wedge insert to modify trajectory will affect distance. Big Gun performance data has been obtained under ideal test conditions and may be adversely affected by wind, poor hydraulic entrance conditions or other factors. Test riser height of 3 feet (0.91 meters) above measurement surface. No representation regarding droplet condition, uniformity, application rate, or suitability for a particular application is made herein.

Additional nozzle options and sizes available. Go to www.nelsonirrigation.com or contact the factory for nozzle performance. TAPeR BORe NOZZLe. Most common nozzle type. Used where the available water flow and pressure are consistent. A nozzle size must be specified when ordering a Big Gun with a Taper Bore Nozzle. The Nozzle Valve End Gun requires a Taper Bore Nozzle. RING NOZZLe SeT. The Ring Nozzle Set is an easy and economic way of changing nozzles to match the available water flow and pressure. These are commonly used where the available water flow and pressure are variable and or when the Big Gun is shifted between various water sources with different capacities. The abrupt orifice of the nozzle is less efficient so the radius of throw is less than that achieved with an equivalent diameter Taper Bore nozzle. The abrupt orifice of the Ring Nozzle does break the stream of water up more, which can be an advantage in low pressure applications. The Ring Nozzle comes with a set of rings. The Ring Nozzle should not be used with the Nozzle Valve End Gun. TAPeR RING NOZZLe. This nozzle combines the changeability of a Ring Nozzle with some of the efficiency of a Taper Bore Nozzle. When ordering the Taper Ring Nozzle, specify the size as only one Taper Ring comes with the nozzle body and cap. Additional taper ring sizes can be purchased. The Taper Ring Nozzle should not be used with the Nozzle Valve End Gun.
