Rain Bird’s new High-Efficiency Variable Arc Nozzle (HE-VAN) has received the Irrigation Association’s 2011 Best New Product of the Year Award in the Turf and Landscape Category. The award was formally announced at the Irrigation Association Show in San Diego in November. This marks the second year in a row that a Rain Bird product has received this honor, with XFS Subsurface Dripline achieving Best New Product of the Year status in the Turf and Landscape Category at last year’s show.
“A great deal of time, effort and analysis went into the development of the HE-VAN,” said Tom Kundrat, product sales manager for Rain Bird’s high-efficiency nozzles. “We’re extremely gratified that the end result has now received this tremendous honor from the Irrigation Association.”
