Using these you can change nozzle on the lance - turbo to 15 degree - hi/low - foamer etc..
nozzle size is dependant on pressure and flow - 21 Ltr 200 Bar would be an 065
here's a chart

« Last post by Adam P on Today at 04:30:54 pm »thanks but even that link it has 9 different option for the nozzle size. how would you know the one you're after for your machine?
i also see that the end is attached by being screwed on. do people buy attachments to make them quick release? is it midi or large quick release?

for standard 15 degree nozzle I use whatever make my local supplier has - turbo needs to be a good quality and they last

i see many peple recommend suttner nozzles. i have googled but struggled to find a difinitive 'this is a suttner nozzle'
eca cleaning appear to do them, linked below for instance, but there is no mention on this specific page of it being suttner, and then also, a huge variety of spray angles and nozzle sizes to select from. how would you know?

« Last post by Smudger on Today at 03:40:05 pm »Yes 120 is far to small - your drawing at 21 litres per minute - if flow is poor you have as little as 6 minutes run time
most places seem to have reasonable flow of 15 but thats still a deficit of 7 litres a min which gives you 25 minutes maybe ? before your empty
Chemicals:
Hypo
TFR
Graffiti cleaner
Brick cleaning
Oil Stain Remover
oxalic acid
plus several other chemicals as you come across various works
I use different places as some products are better than others

« Last post by Adam P on Today at 03:29:45 pm »thanks again all for the replies.
one question i have is regarding the way everything connects. I understand quick release is the way to go, however seeing there's more than one type. i assume it's the midi quicck release most equipment uses? rather than the 'large quick release'?
regarding chemicals, it seems the basics required are hypo, surfactant, biocide, oil stain remover, rust remover. does this cover most requirements? do people tend to buy all these solutions from different suppliers or all from one place? with carpet cleaning it seems most suppliers do some sort of variety of every product required which makes it nice and easy. is that the same for jet washing solutions?

No, you just hate anyone having a different opinion! Evidently, you can't actually rest until you reach a certain level of self satisfaction with your opponent- hence locking, then unlocking this thread!😉
