Key Features
The Gilmour Heavy Duty Nozzle features several smart aspects that make it easier to use and last longer.

Built to last, this nozzle is used for outdoor or occasional use. Features plastic and metal components that reinforce anti-leak and anti-snap features.

Spray patterns are easily changed by rotating the front nozzle. They include a strong jet for heavy-duty cleaning and a gentle mist for delicate plants.
