Nozzles and Quick Couplers FAQs

What do pressure washer nozzles do?

Nozzles control the spray angle and pressure of the water coming out of your pressure washer. This directly impacts cleaning power, allowing you to switch between concentrated pressure for tough stains and wider sprays for lighter cleaning.

What do the different nozzle colors mean?

Pressure washer nozzles are color-coded based on spray angle:

Red (0°): Extremely concentrated, high-pressure stream
Yellow (15°): Heavy-duty cleaning
Green (25°): General-purpose cleaning
White (40°): Light cleaning and rinsing
Black: Low-pressure detergent application
Each color helps you quickly choose the right nozzle for the job.

How do I choose the right nozzle for my pressure washer?

Start with the widest spray angle (like 40°) and move to a narrower one only if needed. This helps you clean effectively without damaging surfaces. You should also match the nozzle to your machine’s PSI and GPM to maintain proper performance.

What is a turbo or rotating nozzle?

A turbo nozzle combines the power of a 0° nozzle with the coverage of a wider spray by spinning the water stream in a circular motion. This makes it ideal for removing tough dirt while covering more surface area faster.

When should I replace a pressure washer nozzle?

You should replace your nozzle if you notice reduced pressure, uneven spray patterns, or visible wear. Over time, nozzle openings can wear out, which reduces cleaning efficiency and can impact your machine’s performance.
