I've watched so many videos on how to adjust the LEFT STOP and this is the best (and only one!) that actually goes in to adjusting that left stop without digging up the sprinkler!. Thank you a thousand times over for making this video.

Can you believe that after about 30 videos and a zillion google searches, your video is the only one discussing that topic? Go you guys!!! You saved me from digging up sprinkler heads after installing a new system myself.

My sprinkler guy is going to be so mad I don't need him anymore. Perfect video, thanks.

Chis, all your videos are very clear and to the point. A big thank you for educating us.

[chiplongino]

Clear, simple, high quality and outstanding

[Mikimouse]

This was well explained, thank you! Hubby used to do this stuff first time figuring it out alone, should have looked here first and saved a lot of frustration!

[trgrahamSC]

Great video! No extra fluff just good info.
I also loved how drenched he was at the end.. CAN relate!

[SundayDoug]

Excellent instruction video! Thank you! Especially the left stop and spray distance adjustments.

Perfect! I followed your instructions and replaced and adjusted a broken rotary sprayer in a couple of minutes. Thanks!

Thanks, well done video, it's time to upgrade my +20 yrs. old sprinklers. A few years ago I upgraded the controller with a b-hyve smart controller but I still have the original sprinklers, most have been replaced at some point but now I see these new Rainbird R-VAN, tempting, specially some of my sprinklers are sticking out after being used.

This is my favorite now as it is easy to set. Sprinkler adjustment was always confusing.

[luc-alaindehaes]

I was searching for hours on google for this 1800 nozzles to install . Thanks !!!! ( Belgium ) top instruction

[WallyBarnum]

Thank you for this. Well produces and right to the point.

[karam]

Wow this was a brilliant instructional! Thank you 😬

[Noteugenelevy]

Best video I've seen in this yet, thanks!

Do these water in close around the head too, or just far out so around the base it will be dry? What about the old RN? Thanks.

[chriskvikstad]

Great video! I just purchased 7 of these R-Van nozzles in various varieties to completely replace a zone that has spray nozzles. The coverage in this zone has been terrible since Day 1. I'm hoping these R-Vans will help solve my problem.

One thing I noticed is my heads are positioned too far into the yard along the driveway edge. They are almost a whole foot into the yard so the whole edge along the driveway burns out unless I have the heads spray into the driveway. Seems inefficient to me. I think my installer was concerned about cars driving over the heads but a whole foot seems excessive. Are these bodies easy to dig up and move maybe 6 inches back?

[TDace]

Thinking of changing 6 rotors to 6 Rvans thanks

Do they require more adjustment than the old style head ?
Do they fit the standard Rainbird pop up bodies
Do they justify changing out all your heads at a cost of two to three times more than the old style heads.
They may save water but that means you are not watering your lawn as much.
Reviews state they do not shoot the water (radius) as far as old heads
Your video should really cover these details
