High-Pressure Precision for Demanding Cleaning Applications
When it comes to precision cleaning, nothing beats the control and reliability of a General Pump Quick Connect 0003 Red Pressure Washer Nozzle. This nozzle is built for power, speed, and simplicity — providing a solid 0-degree spray stream that cuts through the toughest grime and buildup with pinpoint accuracy. Designed for professional contractors, commercial operators, and serious homeowners alike, this nozzle combines rugged durability with quick-change convenience, ensuring your pressure washer is always ready for the next demanding task.
Built for Quick Connections and Faster Workflow
Time is one of the most valuable resources on any jobsite, and pressure washer operators know the frustration of fumbling with threaded fittings or searching through a pile of nozzles. The Quick Connect 0003 Red Nozzle eliminates these inefficiencies by incorporating a quick disconnect plug directly into its design.
This means you can swap out nozzles in seconds — no tools, no threading, and no wasted time. Simply pull back the quick connect collar, snap in the nozzle, and you’re back to work. The universal compatibility of the plug ensures it will work seamlessly with most pressure washer quick connect systems on the market, rated for up to 5,000 PSI. Whether you’re using a residential unit or a heavy-duty commercial machine, this nozzle is built to fit right in.
Color-Coded for Instant Identification
The nozzle is protected and surrounded by a color-coded guard that makes it easy to identify at a glance. Red means one thing in pressure washing: a solid 0-degree stream for maximum cleaning power and pinpoint accuracy.
Professional users know the importance of quick nozzle recognition — especially when switching between spray patterns for different surfaces. The full color system includes:
-
Red (0°): Solid stream for the most concentrated power.
-
Yellow (15°): Medium spray angle for tough surfaces like concrete or metal.
-
Green (25°): Versatile cleaning for general applications.
-
White (40°): Wider spray for gentler cleaning of surfaces like siding or vehicles.
-
Black (Low Pressure): For downstream chemical injection and soap application.
With the red nozzle, there’s no mistaking your choice. Even from a distance, the bright protective guard gives you confidence that you’ve selected the right tool for the job.
Precision Cleaning Power
The 0003 orifice size delivers a concentrated flow rate that matches the high pressure requirements of commercial-grade cleaning tasks. Combined with its 0-degree spray pattern, this nozzle produces a razor-sharp stream of water that can remove baked-on dirt, grease, tar, rust, and even layers of paint when used correctly.
Typical applications for the red 0° nozzle include:
-
Removing tough stains from concrete, brick, and stone.
-
Cutting through caked-on mud, oil, and industrial grime.
-
Preparing metal surfaces for painting or coating.
-
Cleaning agricultural equipment, construction machinery, and fleet vehicles.
-
Blasting weeds and moss out of cracks in pavement.
It’s important to note that with great power comes great responsibility: this nozzle should be used with caution on softer materials like wood, siding, or paint finishes, as its intensity can cause damage.
Protective Nozzle Guard for Safety and Durability
Pressure washer nozzles take a lot of abuse in the field. They’re dropped, dragged, banged against concrete, and subjected to thousands of hours of high-pressure water flow. That’s why the General Pump Quick Connect Red Nozzle includes a protective guard that serves multiple purposes:
-
Impact Protection – Keeps the nozzle body safe from accidental contact with hard surfaces.
-
Surface Protection – Prevents direct metal-to-surface contact, reducing the risk of scratching or gouging.
-
Quick Alignment – The guard features locating ribs that make spray alignment easy. Operators can feel the ribs during installation and know exactly which way the nozzle is pointing.
-
Visual Safety – The bright color helps operators and bystanders quickly identify which nozzle is in use, reducing the chance of misuse.
This thoughtful design makes the nozzle not only more durable, but also safer and more intuitive to use.
Compatible With Most Quick Connect Systems
Flexibility is essential in professional cleaning equipment, and this nozzle is engineered to fit most standard quick connect couplers on the market. Rated for up to 5,000 PSI, it’s capable of handling the full power range of today’s pressure washers — from smaller portable units to industrial machines.
Whether you’re using a General Pump unit or a pressure washer from another leading brand, this nozzle plugs right in and performs flawlessly. That compatibility means fewer worries about parts matching, and more confidence that your equipment will work as a seamless system.

Why Choose a Red 0-Degree Nozzle?
Every pressure washing task demands the right tool, and the red nozzle fills a very specific role. Unlike the wider angles of yellow, green, or white nozzles, the red tip concentrates all the power into a single pinpoint stream.
That makes it ideal for:
-
Spot Cleaning: Targeting stubborn spots that wider sprays can’t remove.
-
Precision Removal: Stripping away paint, rust, or gum without covering a large area.
-
Industrial Applications: Cleaning heavy machinery, steel, or concrete surfaces where precision matters.
This isn’t the nozzle you’ll use for every job, but it’s one you’ll be glad to have in your kit when you encounter the toughest challenges.
Comparison to Other Nozzles
To understand where the General Pump Quick Connect 0003 Red Nozzle fits in, here’s a quick comparison to other common spray angles:
-
Red 0°: Solid stream, maximum impact, smallest coverage area.
-
Yellow 15°: Narrow fan spray, balances power and coverage for hard surfaces.
-
Green 25°: General cleaning nozzle, versatile for most jobs.
-
White 40°: Gentle cleaning for siding, vehicles, and painted surfaces.
-
Black Soap Nozzle: Low pressure for applying detergents and chemicals.
Each nozzle has a role, but the red 0° is the specialist for tasks requiring absolute maximum force and precision.
Applications and Use Cases
The General Pump Quick Connect 0003 Red Nozzle is trusted by professionals in multiple industries:
-
Construction – Removing hardened concrete splatter, cleaning steel beams, prepping surfaces for finishing.
-
Transportation – Degreasing heavy trucks, trailers, and equipment.
-
Facilities Maintenance – Restoring stained walkways, brickwork, and public spaces.
-
Agriculture – Cleaning tractors, harvesters, and other farm machinery.
-

Homeowners also find value in having a red nozzle available for occasional high-power cleaning, such as removing weeds from cracks or prepping a driveway for sealing.
Safety Considerations
Because of its intensity, the red 0° nozzle should always be used with caution:
-
Keep the nozzle moving to avoid cutting into surfaces.
-
Avoid use on soft wood, siding, or painted surfaces unless removal is the goal.
-
Always wear protective gear, including safety glasses and gloves.
-
Be aware of bystanders and pets — the pinpoint stream can cause injury.
With proper handling, this nozzle is an invaluable tool for precision cleaning.
