Colored Quick Connect Nozzles

General Pump colored quick connect nozzles: color-coded by spray angle, in orifice sizes from 4.0 to 10.0, sold individually or as a 5-nozzle pack.

Adjusting your spray is a snap with these colored quick connect nozzles from General Pump. You probably got a set of these when you first bought your pressure washer.

Each nozzle is color-coded for a specific angle, and the angles stay the same no matter the orifice size: every red is 0°, every yellow is 15°, and so on.

What the Colors Mean

• Red: 0°
• Yellow: 15°
• Green: 25°
• White: 40°
• Black: Always a 6540 soaper (65° with a 4.0 orifice). It works no matter the flow rate of your pressure washer.

What You Can Buy

• Individual nozzles: Yellow (15°), green (25°) or white (40°), in a range of orifice sizes. The dropdown shows which sizes are available in each color.
• 5-nozzle pack: Red, yellow, green, white and black, in 4.0 or 5.0 orifice.

Choosing an Orifice Size

Technically, the orifice size should match your pressure washer's flow rate: usually a 5.0 orifice for a 5.0 GPM machine. You may find it helpful to go up or down a half-size to adjust the pressure, so on a 5.0 GPM machine you might try a 4.5 or a 5.5 to see what works best. A smaller orifice gives you more pressure.

Doug's Note

I mostly use the yellow and green nozzles with an adjustable wand. I like the extra-wide fan for rinsing.
