Pressure washer parts canbe identified by the nozzle "number", a four or five digit number that is stamped on the nozzle, which indicates the spray angle and orifice size. In all cases the first two digits of the nozzle number indicate the spray angle (disperse) in degrees.
EXAMPLE: 00 is 0 degree, 15 is 15 degree, 25 is 25 degree and 40 is 40 degree. The last two digits of the nozzle number indicate the orifice size, a standard industry designation. EXAMPLE: 06 is a 6.0 orifice, 55 is a 5.5 orifice. These numbers correspond to the actual dimensions.
These pressure washer nozzles are color coded to indicate what pattern (degree) of fan spray they produce.
The red tip is the zero degree nozzle - these pressure washer nozzles produce a pencil point pattern, there is no fan created so this is not the tip to use when cleaning coverage is desired. The red tip does deliver the highest impact as it concentrates the pressure into the smallest area. Avoid damaging wood or other fragile surfaces. This is an ideal tool for cleaning under the deck of a lawnmower, removing caked on mud from equipment, cleaning stains from concrete, masonry, steel and aluminum even removing the grass from cracks in the sidewalk.

These can also be used for sweeping leaves or debris from flat surfaces or curbing. These pressure washer nozzles have the widest variety of applications as the fan degree allows for good impact pressure and cleaning coverage.
The white tip is rhe 40 degree fan tip. The wider dispersion of the impact pressure limits these pressure washer nozzles to rinsing and delicate washing. These are the tips to use for washing/rinsing glass or washing vehicles. These are great tips for wooden decks and all delicate substrates
