GLADIATOR 1/4" MPT 15° 2.0 Pressure Washer Nozzle

Narrow 15° Spray for Focused, High-Impact Cleaning

The 1/4" MPT 1502 Pressure Washer Nozzle is a precision-engineered spray tip designed to deliver concentrated cleaning power where it’s needed most. Featuring a 15° spray angle, a #2 orifice size, and a secure 1/4-inch Male Pipe Thread (MPT) connection, this nozzle combines durability with high performance for residential, commercial, and light industrial pressure washing.

Built to withstand operating pressures up to 5,000 PSI, the 1502 nozzle is the go-to choice for medium-intensity cleaning where you need to balance impact force with efficient coverage. From removing stains on concrete to cleaning steel, masonry, or jobsite equipment, this nozzle offers consistent performance and rugged reliability.

The 15° Spray Angle – The Yellow Nozzle

In the industry-standard color coding system, yellow represents a 15° spray angle. This pattern delivers a narrow fan spray that concentrates water power into a smaller coverage area than 25° or 40° nozzles, but with less risk of surface damage than a 0° or 5° pinpoint tip.

Typical applications include:

• Concrete Cleaning: Oil, grease, and tire marks on driveways and sidewalks.

• Metal Surfaces: Stripping rust, scale, and paint in preparation for refinishing.

• Heavy Equipment: Washing mud and grime from tractors, loaders, and construction vehicles.

• Surface Prep: Etching concrete or steel for coatings or sealants.

• Outdoor Surfaces: Cleaning masonry, stone, and brickwork.

The 15° spray angle strikes the perfect balance between power and safety, making it one of the most versatile nozzles in any pressure washer kit.

1/4" MPT Threaded Connection

The 1502 Nozzle uses a 1/4-inch Male Pipe Thread (MPT) connection, which is the standard in many spray bars, manifolds, and threaded pressure washer setups.

• Secure Fit: Threads directly into the port for a vibration-resistant connection.

• Durable Installation: Designed for setups where the nozzle remains in place long-term.

• Industry Standard: Fits most professional-grade spray bars and custom rigs with 1/4-inch MPT ports.

• Reliable Under Pressure: Withstands the rigors of extended high-pressure operation.

This connection style ensures a tight, dependable fit that professionals trust in demanding environments.

Orifice Size #2

The 1502 designation indicates a #2 orifice size, specifically designed for systems with lower flow rates (GPM) and higher pressure.

• Optimized for 2.0 GPM Systems: Matches small- to mid-size washers designed for detail work.

• Maintains Full Pressure: The orifice size ensures pumps operate at correct PSI without overload.

• Precision Spray: Concentrates flow into a reliable fan pattern for consistent cleaning.

The #2 orifice size makes this nozzle especially useful for applications requiring targeted cleaning power without excessive water flow.

Built for Up to 5,000 PSI

The 1/4" MPT 1502 Nozzle is built to handle systems rated up to 5,000 PSI, making it suitable for a wide range of washers from consumer-grade to professional contractor machines.

• Light-Duty Systems: Functions reliably at lower pressures, ensuring versatility.

• Mid-Range Units: Provides powerful performance for most commercial washers.

• High-Pressure Machines: Withstands the extreme pressures of heavy-duty cleaning rigs.

This wide compatibility makes the nozzle a flexible and dependable choice across industries.

Rugged, Professional-Grade Construction

The 1502 Nozzle is engineered with durability and long service life in mind:

• Corrosion Resistance: Built from materials that resist rust and wear, even in wet conditions.

• Erosion Resistance: Orifice maintains accuracy despite high-pressure water abrasion.

• Consistent Performance: Spray angle and distribution remain reliable over extended use.

• Professional Reliability: Designed to meet the demands of contractors, fleet operators, and industrial cleaners.

This nozzle is not a disposable part — it’s a rugged, professional-grade component built for daily use.

The Yellow Nozzle in the Lineup

Pressure washer nozzles are standardized by color, each representing a spray pattern and cleaning intensity:

• Red (0°): Pinpoint jet for maximum impact and precision.

• Yellow (15°): Narrow fan spray for powerful cleaning of hard surfaces.

• Green (25°): Medium fan spray for versatile, general cleaning.

• White (40°): Wide fan spray for delicate materials and painted surfaces.

• Black (Soap): Low-pressure tip for applying detergents.

The yellow 15° nozzle is the workhorse for cleaning hard materials without the extreme intensity of the red tip.

Why the 1502 Nozzle Matters

The 1502 nozzle is a vital tool for professionals and homeowners who need focused cleaning power:

• Narrow Fan Spray: Cleans stubborn stains without the risk of gouging associated with 0° tips.

• Precision Performance: Smaller #2 orifice is ideal for low-flow, high-pressure systems.

• Professional Versatility: Handles a wide range of materials including metal, stone, and concrete.

• Durable Design: Threaded connection ensures reliability and long-term use.

It’s not the nozzle you’ll use for every task, but when heavy-duty precision is required, the 1502 nozzle is indispensable.

Comparison to Other Spray Patterns

To see how the 1502 nozzle fits into the lineup, here’s how it compares:

• 0° Red: Extreme pinpoint jet for the toughest spot cleaning.

• 15° Yellow (1502): Narrow fan spray for concrete, metal, and prep work.

• 25° Green: Balanced fan for general cleaning.

• 40° White: Wide fan for delicate surfaces like vehicles or siding.

• Black Soap Tip: Low pressure for detergent application.

The yellow nozzle offers the best combination of cleaning strength and safe coverage for hard materials.

Applications Across Industries

The 1/4" MPT 1502 Nozzle is used across multiple industries where precise, powerful cleaning is required:

• Construction: Cleaning concrete splatter, prepping masonry, and stripping paint.

• Agriculture: Washing tractors, plows, and industrial farming equipment.

• Transportation: Removing rust, grease, and buildup from trucks and trailers.

• Industrial: Degreasing machinery, prepping surfaces for coatings, removing adhesives.

• Residential: Driveway cleaning, patio restoration, and hard surface maintenance.

Its rugged build and narrow spray angle make it one of the most effective nozzles for stubborn debris and surface preparation.

Safety Considerations

As with all pressure washer nozzles, the 1502 nozzle must be used with care:

• Test Before Use: Always test on a small section before wide application.

• Surface Sensitivity: Avoid use on wood, siding, or delicate finishes unless removal is intended.

• Keep Spray Moving: Prolonged exposure can etch or strip surfaces.

• Protective Gear: Always wear gloves, safety goggles, and protective clothing.

• Safe Distance: Keep bystanders and pets out of the spray area.

By following safety guidelines, operators can maximize performance while protecting surfaces and equipment.
