The nozzle is one of the crucial parts of a pressure washer that affects your cleaning deeply. It is an accessory that needs to be attached to the tip of your spray gun and it decides what kind of water spray is going to come out at what speed.

Based on different kinds of cleaning the companies came up with various types of nozzles. You need a broad idea about these types so that you can choose the best pressure washer nozzles and can make your cleaning effective and smooth.

When you buy a pressure washer you will get a set of different types of nozzles, the number varies from machine to machine. They will be of few different colors which indicate its power and differentiate from one another.

Some nozzles are rotary nozzles that rotate while spraying. This will cover the 360-degree surface while cleaning. You might find some best pressure washer nozzles that you will also help you greatly in your wash.

Water Pressure - PSI. Water pressure from the pressure washer is measured in pounds per square inch or PSI. This pressure is the amount of force delivered to the surface being cleaned and is the critical factor in breaking debris from the surface being cleaned. PSI is determined by the orifice size of the nozzle tip and the flow rate (gallons per minute).

For labeling purposes, the standard nozzle size for measurement is a #4 orifice. This size delivers 0.4/gpm at 40psi and 4.0/gpm at 4,000psi. As nozzle sizes increase or decrease, PSI fluctuates accordingly. A nozzle chart is necessary in order to determine PSI with different flow rates and nozzles sizes. Nozzle selection depends on the work being done and the amount of pressure the surface can withstand before it is damaged.

While PSI is a constant at the tip of the nozzle, the pressure decreases as the distance from the targeted surface increases. Experienced power wash contractors understand how to manipulate these distances for maximum cleaning power and use of time.

3,000 to 3,500 PSI power wash systems are the standard equipment in the contract power washing industry. A big reason for this is that while there is not much of a price difference between 2,000 PSI and 3,000 PSI washers, there is a tremendous difference in cleaning power.

Gallons per Minute - GPM. Gallons per Minute (GPM or g/m) refers to the rate at which water flows from a pressure washer to the surface being cleaned (known as flow rate). Higher GPM improves cleaning ability. Most commercial contractors use a flow rate of 4gpm or greater because rates below this do not provide sufficient flow to be able to clean efficiently. Commercial pressure washers typically deliver 4 to 6gpm. While flow rates less than may do a good job, it is ultimately more expensive as it takes longer, which in turn increases labor costs.

Wands and Nozzles. Wands attach to the pressure hose with a gun, the trigger of which starts and stops the flow of water. There are variable pressure wands, dual-lance wands, standard wands, or straight-through wands available. The one to select depends on the job. Refer to our catalog for complete descriptions of all of our wands. When you call Powerwash.com, we will help you select the right product for your business.
