Duckbill Spray Head
The duckbill spray head is very effecient in urban enviornments with tasks like street cleaning. It performs well due to the flat and wide horizontal spray pattern. Effective in pushing both dirt and trash from our roadways.
Fin Spray Head
The fin spray head creates a tight and narrow spray pattern that allows for greater distance and accuracy when spraying. Having the reach and control of the fin side spray pattern is what makes it a great choice for agricultural irrigation and dust control.
Frog Mouth Flusher Spray Head
The frog mouth flusher or street flusher spray head uses a downward 90° angle to clean the streets effectively. The high-pressure flow allows for the removal of stuck-on gunk to be removed without any extra hassle. Also allowing for less water to be used as most grime is gone on the first pass.
Deflector Spray Heads
The deflector spray heads are most commonly found on the front and rear spray bars of water trucks. They are an all-around fit for jobs from soil compaction to dust control. Deflector spray heads use a fan-like spray pattern and have an adjustable flow rate.
