Mine arrived today as well.

No they don't come with nozzles.  Although NT do sell them.

I remember reading a post of Sarah’s that said she sourced the nozzles a lot cheaper at her local Pirtek. ;)

hi Jinky,

The nozzles are sold in packs of 5 from NT with different size holes but were about £30 a pack.  We just took the hook attachment along and they fitted a brass one for us for £2.  Its not removable but works a treat. 

There was no part number on the Invoice for me to give you but I do have the ones for NT if you need them.

Happy blasting  ;)

Hi Jinky

Sorry, I don't.  I was planning to take my unit down to their trade counter to get some advise.

But I have managed to find the nozzles on their website and it lists the following:-

ST-004/D Nozzle Protector
ST-357/05 Turbo Nozzle
ST-50/15005 High Pressure Nozzle
ST-56 Roll Over Nozzle

These are found at:-

http://www.pirtek.co.uk/site/Dynamic/templates/home_5.asp?lang=1&page=10

Click on "Pirtek Products" then "Product Catalogue" then "Ancillary Products" then "Pressure Wash Hose & Components" then "Nozzles & Nozzle Protectors"

Hope this helps.

In that case I've got no chance - middle aged, built in solar panel & vertically challenged! ::)

Suddenly £2 ‘fitted’, is going to be £20 minimum charge and “Sorry sir, we only supply the parts, we don’t fit them!”

Unless ….

Can I borrow the short skirt ……..

No, maybe not – it’s not Friday Night !                          OOOOOOPS!!!!!! :-[

It's going to be a week before I get to Pirtek, so if you find out which nozzle it is let me know.

Cheers ;)

guys went to pirtek and they are talking money to convert all the connectors


lucky i had the northern tools catalogue with me and the guy in pirtek recommended the turbo nossle ref no223571e-152 i-- page 25 new catalogue 2006 n the northern catalogue = price £20.00 plus vat, so ordered one up - dash waiting time of up to 10 days

the turbo connector is really good it is quick release from gutter connector to straight lance

pirtek had one at £68 plus vat then changing connectors = so the chap was really up front he said why pay us so much when northern tools nossle is as good and is a third of the price, really liked pirtek  integrity will go back for other stuff some day

Guys,

Do you want e to go to my local Pirtek and see if I can get them both done cheaper for you ?

Even if you have to pay postage to me and back it wont add up to the £30 cost of NT?

Its on the estate where I work so its not out of my way.  Just let me know.

Sarah

Thanks for the offer! :)

I'm hesitating .... Did you mention in a previous post that once Pirtek fitted the nozzle - it was permanent?

I'm just thinking, if the nozzle got damaged then the whole gutter attachment would need replacing.  Would this be the same with the NT nozzle?

If there is no difference, then 'yes', I would like to take you up on your offer.

Thanks!

sarah the nossle from nt is not too bad it is a turbo nossle and gives out a really good  pressure infact the lads in pirtek said dont use it on your car as it will strip the paint

before you ask you can adjust the pressure by turning the nossle

the nossle is on and off in secs like hoselock if you are switching from gutters to eaves

I personnally think it is the business- one nossle for everything and at £20 plus vat cant be that bad

but thanks for the offer its great that we are all helping each other out
