Clip-On Spray Nozzles: Installation and Maintenance Tips

Before you start

• Confirm the pipe outer diameter (our clamps fit 27–60 mm, 3/4″–2″).
• Check that the clamp material (SS 304 or 316) and body material suit your liquid.
• Flush the header pipe to remove swarf and debris.

Installation steps

1. Mark the positions. Space nozzles so neighbouring sprays overlap by about a quarter to a third of their width.
2. Drill the holes. Drill the size given with your nozzles and remove all burrs inside and out.
3. Fit the seal and saddle. Seat the nozzle saddle squarely over the hole with its seal in place.
4. Tighten the clamp. Tighten evenly until the seal is compressed. Do not over-tighten plastic parts.
5. Aim each nozzle. Use the ball joint to point the spray at the part. Tilt flat fans 5–15° along the header to avoid collisions.
6. Test. Run at working pressure and check every nozzle for an even, full pattern.

Maintenance checklist

• Check strainers and filters regularly; most blockages start there.
• Inspect spray patterns during each shift change.
• Clean blocked nozzles by soaking and brushing. Never use wire or a drill on the orifice.
• Replace nozzles that spray unevenly or deliver noticeably more flow than new ones.
• Keep a set of spares so a line never stops for one nozzle.
