Utility Hose NozzlesThree different hose-end nozzles share this page, and they do not do the same job. Brass Adjustable is a solid brass cleaning nozzle whose barrel twists from a fine cone spray to a hard stream and shuts the water off at the end of its travel. Plastic Fan is the only plant-watering nozzle of the three, laying a medium-flow rectangular pattern at 5 to 7 gpm at 40 psi for flats and plug trays. Heavy Duty Hot Water Pistol is an insulated washdown gun rated to 160F at 100 PSI, built for sanitation work rather than for watering plants.Pick by the task, because these three do not substitute for one another. Take Brass Adjustable for rinsing walkways, benches, carts and equipment: it is made in the USA from brass with 3/4 in hose threads, its output varies with the barrel setting, and twisting the barrel closed shuts the water off so no separate valve is needed. Take Plastic Fan for watering flats and plug trays - it is the only option here shaped to lay a wide rectangular pattern across a tray, and at 5 to 7 gpm at 40 psi it moves real volume for a 2.7 oz nozzle. Take Heavy Duty Hot Water Pistol only for washdown and sanitation: it is insulated and rated to 160F at 100 PSI so it can run off a hot water line, but it is a cleaning tool and will not give the soft, plant-safe pattern a grower wants for irrigation.Specifications Brass Adjustable - material Solid brass, made in the USA Brass Adjustable - pattern Twist the barrel from a fine cone spray to a straight stream; twist further and the water shuts off Brass Adjustable - flow Variable with barrel setting Brass Adjustable - thread 3/4 in hose thread Brass Adjustable - weight 5.8 oz Plastic Fan - pattern Medium flow in a rectangular fan Plastic Fan - flow 5 to 7 gpm at 40 psi Plastic Fan - weight 2.7 oz Hot Water Pistol - rating 160F at 100 PSI Hot Water Pistol - intended use Insulated washdown and sanitation gun; not a plant-watering nozzle Unit of sale One nozzle per unit on all three options Configurations Nozzle Type Part number Plastic Fan - Medium Flow 20-79001 Heavy Duty Hot Water Pistol - 160F 10-12743 Brass Adjustable - Stream to Spray 10-72800 Key Features Brass Adjustable: solid brass, made in the USA, with 3/4 in hose threads Brass Adjustable: barrel twists from fine cone spray to hard stream and closes off the water, so no separate valve is needed Plastic Fan: wide rectangular pattern sized to flats and plug trays, at 5 to 7 gpm at 40 psi Plastic Fan: 2.7 oz, light enough to leave on a hose all shift Hot Water Pistol: insulated body rated to 160F at 100 PSI for hot water lines Hot Water Pistol: pistol grip with trigger control for short bursts while cleaning All three ship as single nozzles rather than multipacks Ideal Applications Rinsing walkways, benches, carts and equipment - Brass Adjustable Watering flats and plug trays with a wide rectangular pattern - Plastic Fan Hot water washdown and sanitation between crop cycles - Hot Water Pistol Cleaning flat fillers, transplanters and potting equipment at end of shift - Brass Adjustable Bench and floor washdown in headhouse and propagation areas - Hot Water Pistol Seedling tray watering where a rectangular pattern matches the tray footprint - Plastic Fan For soft, plant-safe watering of finished crops see the Water Breaker Nozzle listing, and for a hose-end valve to pair with any of these nozzles see Hose Shut-Off Valve.
