Pressure Washer Nozzles & Turbo Tips
47 pressure washer nozzles and turbo tips - Graco G-Force II tip range, Jetwave variable-spray-angle nozzles, stainless steel fixed nozzles (0, 15, 25, 40 degree), turbo head with Snap Tail. The tip is the single biggest variable in pressure washer performance after PSI and flow - the right nozzle delivers the pressure where it's needed; the wrong nozzle wastes the pump's output.
Spray angle rule. 0 degree (red) for the highest-PSI pinpoint blast - paint stripping, concrete cleaning, stubborn carbon. 15 degree (yellow) for heavy-duty cleaning - workshop floors, vehicle undercarriage, metal surface prep. 25 degree (green) is the contractor general-purpose nozzle - most everyday cleaning, fence, deck, exterior brick. 40 degree (white) for soft-surface cleaning - vehicle wash, painted surfaces, light residential exterior. 65 degree (black) is the soap/detergent application nozzle - widest fan, lowest pressure, applies chemical evenly.
Stainless steel vs ceramic vs brass. Stainless steel nozzles (Jetwave SS range) are the daily-contractor standard - resist wear from grit, sand, abrasive chemicals, last 12+ months under daily use. Ceramic nozzles are the highest-spec - resist even harder abrasives, last 18-24 months but cost more. Brass nozzles are entry-tier - wear out fast under daily use, fine for occasional. Match material to use frequency.
Turbo head (rotating nozzle). Turbo head (also called rotary nozzle or dirt buster) rotates a 0-degree jet in a cone - combines the cutting power of 0 degree with the cleaning area of a 25-degree fan. Right for tough cleaning - heavy mud, concrete dirt, paint stripping, render cleaning. Doesn't suit soft surfaces (vehicle bodywork, painted timber) - the rotating jet will damage paint film. Jetwave UR25 + Snap Tail turbo head fits the standard quick-connect range.
Variable spray angle nozzle. Variable spray nozzles let the operator dial spray angle between 0 and 40 degrees on the fly - no need to swap tips between cleaning phases. Slower than dedicated tips for production work because the variable mechanism slightly throttles flow, but fast for varied-surface clean-up where the operator is constantly switching application.
Tip sizing (orifice). Tip orifice number must match the pump's PSI + L/min spec. Undersized orifice = over-pressure, blown packings. Oversized orifice = low pressure at the gun, slow cleaning. Standard tip orifice numbers (03, 04, 05, 06) correspond to pump-flow capacity - check the pump's recommended tip size before swapping.
