Spray Nozzles & Guns

About Spray Nozzles & Guns

Spray nozzles and guns are essential accessories that transform standard garden hoses into versatile watering and cleaning tools. Whether you're a professional gardener, landscape contractor, or keen DIY enthusiast, the right spray attachment provides precise control over water flow and spray patterns for tasks ranging from delicate plant watering to heavy-duty patio cleaning. MyToolShed.co.uk stocks quality spray guns, spray lances, and spray nozzles from trusted brands including Gardena, Hozelock, CK, Rehau, Draper, and Faithfull.

These attachments typically feature multiple spray patterns - from fine mists for seedlings and hanging baskets to powerful jet streams for removing stubborn dirt and grime. Ergonomic trigger controls allow you to adjust water pressure on the fly, whilst extending lances help you reach elevated areas without straining. Available in various materials from lightweight plastic to robust brass construction, spray nozzles and guns deliver reliable performance for both domestic gardens and professional landscaping projects.

• Professional Gardeners & Landscapers: Watering flowerbeds, hanging baskets, greenhouses, and maintaining established planting schemes
• Groundskeepers & Park Maintenance: Large-area irrigation, cleaning pathways, and maintaining public green spaces

Choosing The Right Spray Nozzles & Guns

Consider these key factors when selecting spray nozzles and guns at MyToolShed.co.uk:

• Spray Pattern Options: Look for models offering multiple settings including jet, shower, mist, cone, and flat patterns for maximum versatility
• Construction Material: Plastic models suit light domestic use, whilst metal or brass fittings provide greater durability for professional applications
• Trigger Design: Ergonomic triggers with lock-on mechanisms reduce hand fatigue during extended use
• Connection Type: Ensure compatibility with your existing hose fittings - standard UK connections typically fit ½" or ¾" hose diameters
• Flow Control: Adjustable flow rate allows precise water delivery for different tasks without returning to the tap
• Lance Length: Extended lances (typically 500mm-1000mm) provide better reach for elevated areas and reduce bending

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between spray guns, lances, and nozzles?

Spray guns feature pistol-grip designs with trigger controls for comfortable handheld use. Spray lances are extended rigid tubes that provide additional reach for high or distant areas. Spray nozzles are compact attachments that fit directly onto hose ends, offering simpler operation without trigger mechanisms. Each type suits different applications and user preferences.

Are spray attachments universal for all garden hoses?

Most spray nozzles and guns sold in the UK fit standard ½" and ¾" BSP threaded hose connections. However, some budget hoses use proprietary fittings. MyToolShed stocks products from major brands that typically include adaptors or use widely compatible quick-connect systems like Hozelock's standard fitting.

Can I use spray guns for pressure washing?

Standard garden hose spray guns operate at typical mains water pressure (around 3-4 bar) and aren't substitutes for dedicated pressure washers. Whilst they provide useful cleaning capability for light dirt removal, proper pressure washers deliver significantly higher pressure (100+ bar) for heavy-duty cleaning tasks.
