Description
A Straight-Stream Hose Nozzle with No Moving Parts
Product Overview
A solid brass tapered nozzle is a one-piece metal tip that threads onto the end of a hose and shapes the flow into a straight, driven stream. There is no shut-off and nothing to adjust: the taper does the work. It comes in five threads, from garden hose to 1-1/2" NPSH, so the same simple nozzle serves garden, washdown, and fire hose lines.
Key Features and Benefits
- Solid brass throughout, so the nozzle resists corrosion and holds up through years of outdoor and industrial service.
- The bore narrows from the thread to the tip, which accelerates the water into a tight straight stream.
- Female threads spin onto the male coupling at the end of the hose by hand.
- The Garden Hose Thread version is a long taper with a 1/4" orifice and fits any standard garden hose.
- The 3/4" and 1" sizes suit precise washdown work; the 1-1/4" and 1-1/2" sizes serve as a brass fire hose nozzle for fire lines and heavy washdown.
- 0.34 lb to 2.13 lb by size.
Pick Your Size
Every option on this page is named by its thread. Match the brass tapered nozzle to the male thread at the end of your hose line.
| Option | Threads Onto | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| Garden Hose Thread | Any standard garden hose | Garden, yard, light washdown |
| 3/4" NPSH | 3/4" male NPSH coupling | Washdown lines |
| 1" NPSH | 1" male NPSH coupling | Washdown lines |
| 1-1/4" NPSH | 1-1/4" male NPSH coupling | Heavy washdown, fire lines |
| 1-1/2" NPSH | 1-1/2" male NPSH coupling or hose assembly | Fire hose lines, standpipe stations |
Applications
- Washdown lines. A fixed straight stream for cleaning floors, equipment, and yards.
- Fire hose lines. A brass fire hose nozzle for standpipe stations, fire standby lines, and forestry setups on NPSH threads.
- Garden and yard use. The Garden Hose Thread version puts a solid brass straight-stream tip on any household hose.
There is no shut-off on a tapered nozzle. Control the flow at the supply valve or hydrant, or choose the fog nozzle below for control at the tip.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a tapered hose nozzle?
A tapered hose nozzle is a one-piece tip whose bore narrows from the hose thread to the outlet. The narrowing accelerates the water into a straight stream. It has no shut-off and no spray patterns, which leaves nothing to wear out or seize.
What is the difference between a tapered nozzle and a combination fire nozzle?
A tapered nozzle delivers one fixed straight stream and has no controls. A combination nozzle adds a twist shut-off and adjustable patterns from straight stream to fog. Tapered is simpler, with nothing to jam or leak; combination gives pattern control at the tip.
Will this nozzle fit a garden hose?
The Garden Hose Thread option fits any standard garden hose. The NPSH options do not: they are hose-line threads for washdown and fire hose couplings. Pick the option that names your thread.
What size tapered nozzle do I need?
Buy the size that matches the male thread on your hose coupling. NPSH lines run matching hose and thread sizes, so a line built from 1" hose ends in a 1" thread and takes the 1" nozzle. For a household hose, choose the Garden Hose Thread option.
How do you shut off the water with a tapered nozzle?
At the supply: close the valve or hydrant feeding the line. The nozzle itself has no shut-off. Crews that need flow control at the tip should choose a nozzle with a built-in shut-off, such as a combination fog nozzle.
