| 12 | 42' - 10.6 GPM | 48' - 13.0 GPM | 53' - 15.0 GPM |
Note: Remember that the distance between rotor heads should never be greater than the PSI. Therefore rotors operating at 35 PSI should not be spaced farther apart than 35'. I don't recommend using nozzles with flows under 2.5 GPM except in corners.
