Netafim MegaNet 24D Sprinkler, Purple Nozzle
A seeded bed comes up evenly when every square foot gets the same gentle rate from the first cycle. This head, Netafim item 63600-001750 and model MGN24D-110HO, is set up for that kind of block. The purple cap marks a 2.06 mm nozzle with a nominal 1.10 GPM at 33 psi. Its high 24° trajectory spreads that modest flow over a full circle with a soft landing. Twin symmetric jets split the water equally, which keeps the head balanced and the coverage uniform. Drops stay small near the ground, so the soil is not grooved during start-up, running or shutdown. That keeps seed covered and helps raise germination rates. An integral inlet filter keeps the nozzle clean and can be rinsed if it loads up. The pop-up mechanism opens only during irrigation, guarding the nozzle and moving parts against insects. UV-protected, chemical-resistant materials carry it through season after season in the field.
Laying Out Close Spacing for the Purple Nozzle
The purple nozzle is laid out on close spacing, with grids up to about 26 x 26 ft. On a 23 x 26 ft grid it applies about 0.17 to 0.19 in per hour between 36 and 44 psi. At 26 x 26 ft the rate settles near 0.16 to 0.17 in per hour. Flow runs about 1.14 GPM at 36 psi and 1.25 GPM at 44 psi, inside the 29 to 44 psi window. The stream peaks about 4.7 ft above the nozzle, roughly 16 ft out. On a MegaStand the head sits about 20 in or 39 in high, depending on one riser or two. Before each season, open the head and check the two tabs under the colored cover for wear. Check the single tab on the turbine as well, and replace cover and turbine together if either is worn. Small 24° nozzles like this one take the black turbine, part 63620-002000. Refit the black locking pin afterward, since it marks the high-angle model and holds the parts in place.
