NOZZLE SELECTION GUIDE
STANDARD SPRAY NOZZLE APPLICATIONS
Spray nozzle can be identified by the nozzle “number”, a five or six digit number that is stamped on the
nozzle, which indicates the spray angle and orifice size. In most cases the second and third digits of the
nozzle number indicate the spray angle in degrees. EXAMPLE: 00 is 0 degrees, 15 is 15 degrees and 40
is 40 degrees. The last two numbers of the nozzle number indicated the orifice size, a standard industry
designation. EXAMPLE: 60 is a 6.0 orifice, 55 is a 5.5 orifice. These numbers correspond to the actual
dimensions, giving the size of the orifice. They do not however directly indicate gallons per minute,
flow rates or inches in diameter of the orifice. Some power washers come with an adjustable nozzle
which is fixed to the end of the wand. The fan spray may be adjusted by turning the nozzle and
chemicals may also be applied by pulling outward on the nozzle.
Caution: The spray force from these nozzles can cause injuries if pointed directly at yourself or
others. Before observing directly always disconnect from spray wand.
