PNR Italia has been manufacturing and marketing quick-fit spray nozzles, swivel ball nozzles, nipples, locknuts and pipe clamps for over forty years.

Many industrial facilities require quick-fit spray nozzles and accessories, including car wash plants, painting, and phosphating plants, plants for washing food machinery, rinsing containers, and many others. In general, this type of product is used in industrial contexts that require quick assembly and adjustment of the orientation and spray cover of the nozzles.

But how to choose between the many types available? This guide has been written precisely to guide you in selecting the best quick-fit spray nozzle or accessory for your need.

What are quick fit spray nozzles and accessories?

Quick fit spray nozzles and accessories are easy to assemble and disassemble devices, even without specific tools. In some cases, they swivel and are often made of plastic material.

Generally, quick-fit spray nozzles are connected to the liquid supply with a clamp: in most cases, a simple hole is made in the manifold, and the spraying unit is installed (consisting, for example, of a clamp, swivel ball, nozzle, and locknut).

PNR Italia’s pipe clamps are articulated, cam, double, or single springs and can accommodate all types of nozzles with quick coupling, even disc.

If necessary, the threaded or swivel balls are mounted between the clamp and the quick-connect nozzle and allow the quick-connect nozzle to be oriented.

An alternative to the threaded sphere is the ball nozzles to be mounted between the clamp and the ring nut: their body guarantees adjustability.

Finally, the locknut ensures and closes the whole spraying unit.

What is the difference between quick-fit spray nozzles and traditional nozzles?

As the name already makes clear, the main difference between quick fit and traditional nozzles is their connection type. Quick connection nozzles require a clamp to connect to the liquid supply.
In contrast, conventional nozzles have several types of connections available including thread, flange, clip, or welding.

When should I use quick fit spray nozzles?

Many industrial facilities require quick-fit spray nozzles and accessories, including car wash plants, painting, and phosphating plants, plants for washing food machinery, rinsing containers, and many others. In general, this type of product is used in industrial contexts that require quick assembly and adjustment of the orientation and spray cover of the nozzles.

What are the advantages of quick-fit nozzles and accessories?

Focus on the products

As we have already seen, quick-fit spray nozzles and accessories can be of many types, to meet all needs. The following list can help you find your way around the many types proposed:

PIPE CLAMPS
PNR Italia’s pipe clamps are articulated, cam, double or single spring and can accommodate all types of nozzles with quick coupling, even disc.

THREADED OR QUICK FIT BALL NOZZLES
These balls can be mounted between the clamp and the nozzle, allowing it to swivel. They are available with threaded, quick, and blind hole coupling – specially designed for processes that require changes and breaks during spraying.

SWIVEL BALL NOZZLES
HG and RG flat jet and hollow cone ball nozzles can be used in a wide variety of applications. They allow an easy and fast adjustment of the jet orientation and can be mounted with quick coupling. All available nozzle capacities are identified by a different color.

QUICK-FIT NOZZLES
Flat fan jet nozzles with quick coupling are extremely easy to mount, and the special seal avoids any risk of leakage. All available nozzle capacities are identified by a different color.

NIPPLES AND LOCKNUTS
A range of nipples and locknuts for the perfect fitting of the nozzles, in different quality materials and built with tight tolerances to ensure the precise and correct alignment of the castings in your spray system.

How do quick-fit spray nozzles and accessories fit?

All our products are adaptable to the most varied needs, combining a quick and easy assembly and disassembly with the possibility of directing the nozzle spray in every direction.
The design of the nozzles and quick coupling accessories allow frequent controls and cleaning operations of the nozzles to keep the system in perfect working conditions.

Quick fit spray nozzles and accessories are assembled starting from the pipe clamps directly by drilling a hole in the manifold. Depending on the application requirements, after the clamps, threaded or quick-connect balls, quick-connect nozzles, and locknuts are mounted.
