Nozzles & Washing Accessories
Nozzle Selection Guide
Choosing the correct nozzle is important for output and smooth function of your high pressure cleaner. Nozzle too small = machine permanently switches into bypass or off Nozzle too wide = machine has a small output, lower pressure
How to choose the correct nozzle?
1. Make sure you know the flow and pressure of the high pressure cleaner e.g. 15 L/min at a working pressure of 3000 psi 2. On the second row, find the nearest pressure to 3000 psi i.e.2900 psi 3. Flow the column down to the nearest flow to 15 L/min i.e. 14.6 L/min 4. Look left to the first column 5. The nozzle size you need is 045
What does “orifice” mean?
What does the “045” in a 25 045 Nozzle mean?
The”045” is a reference point In defining the orifice size of a Nozzle. All Spray Nozzles are rated at a flow point in USGPM rated at 4000psi. Examples to help understand: - an 045 nozzle delivers 4.5USGPM at 4000psi - an 060 nozzle delivers 6.0USGPM at 40000psi - an 030 nozzle delivers 3.0USGPM at 4000psi
Tip Angle
0° Blasting Nozzle This nozzle delivers a very concentrated stream of water. Care should be used to avoid gouging wood or damaging fragile surfaces. Uses: Removing weeds from sidewalk cracks, stubborn stains from concrete, masonry, aluminium & steel, caked mud from equipment and mower decks The spray should be directed at a 45 degree angle to the surface and used like a scraper to remove paint, grease & dirt. Uses: Surface preparation (removing peeling paint & mildew stains, cleaning gutters & downspouts). 25° Flushing Nozzle With a narrower spray pattern than the 40° nozzle and with a more concentrated spray pressure, this nozzle is best suited for flushing dirt, mud & grime. Uses: Wet sweeping leaves from walks, curbs & driveways, cleaning stable floors. Washing the bottom of swimming pools & blasting BBQ grills 40° Wash Nozzle The wide spray pattern disperses water over a large area and is recommended for rinsing and moderate washing. Uses:Washing down aluminium siding, cleaning windows, washing vehicles, spraying sidewalks, drive ways & patios 0° 15° 25°
40°
Turbo Nozzle
Turbo Nozzles spray water out of 0° orifice. The spray exits the nozzle at an angle while rotating. This rotation allows the spray to simulate a spray pattern, therefore, it allows the operator to cover a larger area. With the increased tearing action of the rotating spray, the turbo nozzle handles caked on mud, peeling paint, concrete cleaning and other applications where a flat fan wont cut it
Soap / Detergent Nozzle
Effective Working Pressure (EWP)
Used for low pressure spraying. This nozzle will allow a soft spray soaking of the surface with a liquid soap or detergent. Uses: Equipment cleaning, removing mildew & oxidation stains from houses, cleaning effervescent brick & degreasing
Effective Working Pressure is a meaningless number designed to mislead. In the Australian market, some use the term EWP to create the impression that a pump can dramatically increase the performance of a machine by adding a Turbo Nozzle i.e. the pump on a pressure cleaner may be rated to 3000psi and some say by adding a Turbo, the EWP increases to 4500 psi. Our comment on this: You cannot change the engineering capabilities of a pump simply by adding a device such as a Turbo to the end of a lance. The turbo actually increases your cleaning speed, not your pressure.
