• Improve cleaning efficiency and operator productivity
• Apply detergents and rinse surfaces using one adjustable nozzle
• Maintain consistent spray performance throughout demanding cleaning jobs

Its adjustable design makes it an excellent solution for professionals who frequently alternate between washing and detergent application.

Common Signs Replacement Is Needed

Replace the nozzle if you notice:

• Difficulty adjusting between high- and low-pressure modes
• Reduced cleaning performance
• Internal leakage
• Uneven or inconsistent spray pattern
• Worn internal components
• Damaged threads
• Excessive wear affecting pressure or detergent application

Replacing a worn nozzle restores proper pressure control, spray performance, and cleaning efficiency.

Installation & Service Notes

• Turn off the pressure washer and relieve system pressure before installation.
• Verify compatibility with the 1/4" FPT inlet and 5.5 nozzle size.
• Install the nozzle securely without overtightening the threads.
• Adjust the nozzle between high- and low-pressure modes during operation as needed.
• Inspect seals and threads regularly for wear or damage.
• Replace the nozzle if adjustment becomes difficult or spray performance declines.

Important: Match the 5.5 orifice size to your pressure washer's GPM and PSI specifications to maintain proper operating pressure and cleaning performance. This adjustable nozzle is designed to simplify pressure washing by allowing rapid transitions between high-pressure cleaning and low-pressure detergent application without changing accessories.

Maintenance Recommendations

• Flush the nozzle thoroughly with clean water after each use, especially after using detergents or chemicals.
• Inspect the adjustment mechanism regularly for smooth operation.
• Remove mineral deposits or debris as needed to maintain proper performance.
• Store the nozzle in a clean, dry location when not in use.
• Use only genuine OEM Mecline replacement parts to maintain proper spray performance, pressure control, and long-term reliability.
