Hey there i want a jrod tip that will work kind of like crackijg a ball valve for clearing. Chatgpt says 0 degree #40
Any advice would be awesome
You’ve started three new posts this past week asking very basic questions that have most likely already been addressed here by prior newbies. With less than an hour of read time on the forum, I’d suggest using the search bar and spending more time reviewing existing posts before starting a new topic, also avoid relying on ChatGPT for answers. There’s a wealth of knowledge on this board, and the information you need, especially when starting out, is already available.

Spent a long time searching and i dont rely on chatpt thats why im asking. If you dont want to help thats fines dont, its a forum people come here for help some people are happy to help. Thanks for the link but that doesnt answer my question. Again ive searched the internet for someone saying that there is a nozzle that performs similar to cracking a ballvalve.
I’m just going off what you wrote in the threads you have made:
If you can’t find an answer to your question, it’s worth asking yourself why that might be. Nozzles and ball valves don’t serve the same purpose or perform the same way. A nozzle is designed to spray specific fan patterns at a set PSI, while a ball valve is nothing more than an on/off switch for water flow. I’ve never seen a nozzle that shuts water off, and I’ve never seen a ball valve that delivers a consistent spray pattern.

This was a typo.
And i said “work kind of like a ball valve”
Ive since asked a dealer the same question and they have reccomend me a tip that will clear “kind” of like a ball valve.
Im sure you have the knowledge to have answered my question but instead you type paragraphs about not asking question on a FORUM.
My advice, as politely as I could put it, was to spend more time searching the forum and going through past content. Two hours of read time, is not a long time searching, and barely scratches the surface… this place is packed with information, as you yourself have pointed out.
As for your original post, I honestly couldn’t figure out what you were asking. Cracking a ball valve isn’t meant for “clearing", whatever that means to you, especially not on a house. A jrod is simply a set of 3 or 4 nozzles with different pressures and spray patterns, designed for applying and rinsing chemicals off siding. The two aren’t interchangeable pieces of equipment and don’t function the same way.
I shared links to threads about jrods so you could see how they’re used, and also pointed you toward a discussion with members in your country who may be able to help you out specifically since they are more aware of what is available locally. Sorry you did not find that helpful.
If I had to guess, what you’re really looking for is a way to rinse concrete after cleaning. If that’s the case, you’ll want a nozzle with a 25-degree spray (or wider) and under 3,000 psi. The exact nozzle depends on your machine, but since you didn’t provide specs, the only way to know is by checking a nozzle chart and matching the right orifice size to your setup. YOU WILL HAVE TO SEARCH FOR THAT.
Everything I’ve said here has already been discussed on this forum many times. If you aren’t finding it, it’s likely because of the search terms you’re using or not knowing exactly what the equipment does. That doesn’t change the fact that the information is out there. This business isn’t rocket science, and apart from a few new innovations here and there, there’s nothing new under the sun.

I’m sure the dealer will sell you something, that is what dealers do.
You don’t know what your asking, so you should tell @OhioFloMo thanks for helping. Anyone who has done this for awhile already knows that you don’t know what you are saying. Don’t get upset, I’m not knocking you as a person. My advice, steer clear of facebook, instagram, and tik tok, full of misinformation. There are some good people on those forums, but you don’t know who to believe. Read more here, Ohio told you the truth, this place is full of gold. I reread stuff here all the time, because I forget stuff.

Boy, you guys are pretty hard on him. Let me try and help
This nozzle will spray the same as the ball valve in the closed position:
This nozzle will spray the same as a ball valve in the open position:
Anything in-between open and closed could be a 0040 to a 6502. Actually, there are probably 100+ options
