The 15 degree spray nozzle is one of the most versatile and useful pressure washer nozzles available. In this comprehensive guide, as a professional Lieferant für Sprühdüsen, I’ll explain exactly what a 15 degree nozzle is used for to help you get the most out of your pressure washer.
A 15 degree spray nozzle generates a broad, fan-shaped water spray pattern that is wider than the intense zero degree jet spray but more focused than the 40 or 65 degree wide-angle nozzles. This combination of concentrated cleaning power and moderate spray width makes 15 degree nozzles ideal for surface prep and general cleaning purposes.
Wofür wird eine 15-Grad-Spritzdüse verwendet?
Here are the most common applications for a pressure washer’s yellow 15 degree nozzle:
Surface Preparation
The intense jet stream coming out of a 15 degree nozzle is perfect for surface preparation jobs like:
- Removing peeling paint or flaking varnish
- Prepping wood decks for stain or sealant
- Cleaning away chalk residue on exterior walls prior to repainting
- Removing mildew stains
- Blasting off grease, oil residues, or sticky adhesives
Just be sure to test a small area first and keep the pressure washer wand 12+ inches back from soft or delicate surfaces to prevent damage. For very delicate tasks, step back up to the 40 degree white nozzle.
Driveways, Sidewalks, Patios
A 15 degree nozzle on a gas pressure washer can make quick work or clearing mud, dirt, grime, moss or leaves from outdoor hardscapes like concrete or brick driveways and walkways. Keep the wand back 12 inches and use a sweeping motion for the best cleaning efficiency.
Garage Floors
Blast away built up oil drips and tire residue from garage floors and workshop areas with ease using a 15 degree spray nozzle. Be sure to thoroughly rinse the concrete surface when finished to prevent slimy residue.
Gutters
The intense narrow spray pattern is perfect for getting into gutters to dislodge compacted leaves, dirt and debris. Keep your pressure washer below 2000 PSI and work methodically to avoid damaging fragile aluminum or vinyl gutters.
Removing Vehicle Surface Grime
Safely remove stubborn bug residue, bird droppings, tree sap, and road grime from trucks, cars, boats, ATVs and other vehicles using a 15 degree nozzle. Just be sure to keep the nozzle at least 12 inches back from paint or decals, move continuously, and avoid aiming water directly at sensitive electronics or other delicate areas. Rinse thoroughly with clean water when done.
Zusammenfassung
So there you have it – the versatile 15 degree nozzle has enough power for rigorous surface preparation yet a concentrated enough spray to tackle detailed cleaning jobs on vehicles, wood, concrete and metal surfaces. Always test a small area first and make adjustments if needed. And be sure to outfit your pressure washer with the full set of quick connect spray nozzles so you always have the right tool for the job.
