The The Rag Company ULTRA H2O 40° Spray Nozzle is purpose-built for automotive washing, delivering a wide, controlled 40-degree fan pattern rather than the concentrated pressure of more aggressive pressure washer tips. Precision-machined from stainless steel and protected by a textured rubberized shroud, it is available in 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0 orifice sizes to properly match your pressure washer's flow and create an effective, paint-friendly wash setup.

Key Features & Benefits

🔹 Dedicated 40° Automotive Spray Pattern – Unlike narrower pressure washer tips designed for more aggressive cleaning, the ULTRA H2O Nozzle uses a wide 40-degree fan specifically selected for vehicle washing, providing excellent coverage while distributing pressure across a larger surface area.

🔹 Choose the Right Orifice for Your Pressure Washer – Available in 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0 orifice sizes, allowing you to match the nozzle to your pressure washer's flow and achieve the appropriate working pressure instead of simply using the smallest, highest-pressure tip available.

🔹 Precision-Machined Stainless Steel Construction – Each nozzle uses a single-piece stainless steel body for excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and dependable long-term performance.

🔹 Rubberized Protective Shroud – A textured rubberized exterior provides additional grip with wet or soapy hands while creating a softer exterior around painted and other delicate vehicle surfaces.

🔹 Clearly Marked for Easy Identification – Both the orifice size and 40° spray angle are clearly marked on the nozzle, making it easy to identify the correct tip when switching between pressure washer setups.

🔹 Designed for the ULTRA H2O System – Engineered to integrate seamlessly with the ULTRA H2O Spray Gun and Spray Wand, including fitting directly into the Spray Gun's integrated nozzle storage holder.

How to Use

Step 1: Determine your pressure washer's rated or measured GPM (gallons per minute) and select the appropriate 3.0, 4.0, or 5.0 nozzle size.

Step 2: Insert the ULTRA H2O Spray Nozzle into the quick coupler on your compatible spray gun or wand until it is completely seated and locked.

Step 3: Confirm the orientation of the 40-degree fan before beginning your wash.

Step 4: Test your spray away from the vehicle to verify proper nozzle installation, spray pattern, and operating pressure.

Step 5: Maintain an appropriate working distance from the surface and use the broad 40-degree fan to rinse and clean the vehicle.

Pro Tip: Don't choose your nozzle based on the idea that more pressure is always better. For automotive detailing, the goal is to match the orifice size to your pressure washer's flow so you achieve effective rinsing and cleaning without unnecessarily concentrating pressure against the vehicle. A larger orifice generally reduces working pressure, making proper nozzle sizing an important part of building a detailing-focused pressure washer setup.

Why We Love It

Pressure washer nozzles are usually treated as generic accessories, but the nozzle has a major impact on how your pressure washer actually performs against a vehicle. The ULTRA H2O 40° Spray Nozzle takes a much more detailing-specific approach.

The wide 40-degree fan is exactly what we want for normal automotive washing: broad enough to efficiently rinse an entire panel while avoiding the unnecessarily concentrated spray of narrower, more aggressive tips. More importantly, offering three orifice sizes allows you to properly match the nozzle to the flow of your machine rather than accepting whatever generic tip came in the box.

The stainless steel construction, protective rubberized exterior, clear markings, and integration with the rest of the ULTRA H2O system turn a normally overlooked pressure washer component into a genuinely well-designed detailing tool.

FAQs

❓ What spray angle is the ULTRA H2O Nozzle?

💡 Every ULTRA H2O Spray Nozzle uses a 40-degree fan pattern specifically selected for automotive washing. The wider pattern distributes the water across a larger area instead of concentrating it into the narrower stream produced by more aggressive pressure washer tips.

❓ Is this a high-pressure nozzle?

💡 No. The ULTRA H2O Nozzle is designed around controlled, detailing-appropriate pressure rather than maximizing PSI. The 40-degree spray pattern provides broad coverage, while the available orifice sizes allow you to match the nozzle to your pressure washer's GPM and desired working pressure.

❓ What's the difference between the 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0 versions?

💡 The number refers to the nozzle's orifice size. With the same pressure washer, a smaller orifice creates more restriction and therefore higher working pressure, while a larger orifice allows greater flow with lower working pressure. Choosing the correct size depends primarily on your machine's GPM output.

❓ Which orifice size should I choose?

💡 Match the nozzle to your pressure washer's GPM output and desired working pressure. The 3.0 is intended for lower-flow machines, while the 4.0 and 5.0 accommodate progressively greater flow and can be used to reduce working pressure on appropriate machines. Always verify your pressure washer specifications before selecting a nozzle.

❓ Why use a 40° nozzle for detailing?

💡 A 40-degree nozzle creates a broad fan that efficiently covers automotive panels while spreading the force of the water over a larger surface area. That makes it a much better choice for routine vehicle washing than narrow 0°, 15°, or similarly aggressive spray patterns.

❓ Will a larger orifice give me less pressure?

💡 Yes, when used with the same pressure washer. Increasing the nozzle orifice reduces restriction and therefore lowers the working pressure at the nozzle. This is why nozzle sizing is an important part of optimizing a pressure washer specifically for detailing.

❓ Is the exterior metal?

💡 The internal nozzle body is precision-machined from single-piece stainless steel, while the exterior is surrounded by a textured rubberized protective shroud. The rubber provides additional grip and creates a softer exterior around delicate vehicle surfaces.

❓ Does it fit the ULTRA H2O Spray Gun?

💡 Yes. The nozzle is specifically designed for the ULTRA H2O system and fits directly into the Spray Gun's quick coupler as well as its integrated nozzle storage holder.
