Zero degree (flat trajectory)

I am in need of a rotor type head (any mfg) that will throw a minimum 15 feet with a zero degree trajectory. Even the low angle nozzles 10 - 13 degree is too much. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

If a low angle isn't working then your design is wrong for the area you are trying to irrigate and more then likely you should re-design it to a different application

Take a picture , post it and i'll throw out some suggestions

So you are saying there is no such thing as a zero angle head of any kind?

There's pop-up spray flat nozzles that are pretty dang close to 0. I would say 1-3 range

Like I said post a picture.. you are probably going about this the wrong way

There is no practical use for a zero-degree sprinkler head, so far as lawn watering goes.

Thanks for all you suggestions. This is not being used for irrigation, it is part of a wild fire system. Thanks again.

if you mean fire suppression, you find a brass impact head

What would you guys recommend for a 2 ft x 40 ft strip if you're looking to use just one sprinkler then?

I can't seem to locate any 0 (or close) degree rotors. Are there any?

No rotor works in a 2-foot wide strip. The only spray nozzle designed for a 2-foot wide strip only covers a 2x6 area.
