The medium pressure and flow range are made for multi purposes like home siding, brick patios, wood decks, garage floors. Giving you the maximum power with high pressure and lower flow, this range of nozzles are made for stubborn or hard to reach surfaces such as 2nd story surfaces, paint removal, oil stains, rust removal etc. Its Pro-Style Spray Tips have predefined spray patterns ranging from pinpoint of 0 to wide fan-like 40 degree spray angles for various types of cleaning as well as a soap tip for managing the spray pattern.

Your pressure washer’s engine and pump can only do so much in terms of maximum power. What adds to the cleaning efficiency is its attachments and accessories. The turbo nozzle, for instance, cleans up to 40% faster than standard spray nozzles and is recommended as accessory for cleaning brick, concrete and vinyl surfaces.
