Whether spraying chemicals, water or plain ol' air, high pressure spray nozzles pack the punch and get the job done in a powerful way. And if you think a nozzle is just a nozzle, think again.

High pressure nozzles are manufactured for dozens of applications and are used in a multitude of ways. Some are stainless steel, others are plastic. Some are flexible, others are rigid. Some are designed to spray wide areas, others are designed to be amazingly precise. When shopping for a high pressure nozzle, it's good to be armed with information such as:

1. What will be going through your high pressure nozzle

2. Your high pressure source when using high pressure nozzles

3. The type of spray head your high pressure nozzle needs to get the job done


Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Determine how your high pressure nozzle will be used


A high pressure nozzle designed to spray air is manufactured to different specifications than a nozzle designed to spray water or lawn chemicals. It's wise to be sure that the nozzle you purchase is designed for what you plan to spray through it.

I recommend: Farm & Home Supply Center offers an industrial high pressure water hose nozzle rated for both hot and cold water. If you need a high pressure air nozzle designed to fit into small spaces, Nex Flow likely has what you're looking for.

Consider the pressure source when using high pressure nozzles


The pressure in high pressure can come from a pressure washer, a high pressure pump, automated equipment and even the nozzle itself. Although most nozzles attach to wands or hoses, that's not always the case with the robotic equipment used in industrial settings.

I recommend: Connecting your high pressure spray nozzle to a pressure washer? Check out the selection at Ultimate Washer. You can find nozzles designed to be used with high pressure pumps at Northern Tool & Equipment. For robotic equipment, it's best to check with the manufacturer for replacement or add-on parts.

Decide what type of spray head your high pressure nozzle needs


High pressure spray nozzles are available in a variety of head sizes and configurations. Whether you need to spray the widest areas, the smallest nooks and crannies or something in-between, there's likely a nozzle out there to do the job. If your need is unique, custom high pressure spray nozzles could be an option.

I recommend: If you're unsure of the type of high pressure hose nozzle you need, iSpray does a great job of showing and describing your options. And if you can't seem to locate just the high pressure nozzle you're looking for, you can ask about custom-made nozzles built to your exact specifications at Steinen.
