Q: Does anyone know of a better 4-inch brass hose nozzle or a better price? http://www5.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/13402918.jpg Here's my quick nozzle summary, for others to benefit from, of the three types I bought from local box stores and tested this week: ACE Hardwa $6.49 http://www.acehardware.com/product/i...LAID=145559371 BEST: Always shuts off, easily taken apart for cleaning, has 2 o-rings, knurled knobs are easy to spin off, even when wet. Home Depot: $7.67 http://www.homedepot.com/p/Orbit-5-i...7928/100659304 GOOD: Always shuts off, I can't seem to get it apart, has rubber knobs which are slippery when wet and which get damaged easily when using wrenches to undo tight connections. Harbor Freight: $3 (regularly $5): http://www.harborfreight.com/4-inch-...zle-31811.html CRAPPY: Often leaks when shut off, only one o-ring, easily comes apart, knurling on the knobs is not cross hatched so it's hard to unscrew from the garden hose when wet, the gasket fits way too loosely so it can be easily lost, spray is not a clean stream at the strongest settings - but otherwise OK. Of these three, I recommend the ACE Hardware 4 inch brass nozzle. If you know of a better nozzle, or, of a better price, let me know. Most people use trigger nozzles now.(water restrictions) |
