Washdown Hose, Nozzles & Mixing Stations

Washdown hose, along with sanitary spray nozzles and mixing stations are used in virtually every type of food processing plant. From packing houses, hot processing plants, breweries, dairies, and wineries, there is a need for sanitation in the form of cold and hot water washing. Unisource offers two hose options for these applications–first, our Series 2179 traditional white covered washdown hose. Rated for 300 PSI working pressure, this hose has been the standard in food processing plants for many years. Secondly, we offer our Series 2107, our premium option with yellow carboxylated nitrile cover, 400 PSI working pressure rating, and the longest service life.

For spray nozzles, we also have two basic options–our Style 150, the traditional sanitary nozzle with rubber cover (choice of colors) for use on mixing stations blending cold and hot water. The nozzle body is typically brass. The internal parts are replaceable and interchangeable with many other brands of spray nozzles. Our Style D150S Duraflow nozzles are made with a different configuration, but are also rubber covered and are specifically designed to prevent spray from happening if the nozzles are accidentally dropped.

Our mixing stations are offered in brass/bronze or stainless steel and are for either cold and hot water mixing or for cold water and steam mixing.

For other types of washdown hose, check out our Water Suction & Discharge web section for information.

Style-150-NozzleLink

Description:

Style 150 spray nozzles are made specifically for use on water mixing stations where cold and hot water may be combined for ideal sanitation conditions.

Style 150 spray nozzles are constructed with a standard body of heavy-duty brass. Aluminum or stainless steel body nozzles are also available. The external rubber cover prevents damage to the brass body and resists animal fats and oils. A variety of cover colors are available. The plastic covered operating lever is rear mounted to reduce hand fatigue and offer smooth lever action. Water is conserved due to a drip-free automatic shutoff feature upon release of lever. Spray patterns can be adjusted from fan spray to solid stream.

The internal components in the Style 150 nozzles are replaceable and are interchangeable with other major sanitary wash-down nozzles, assuring proper fit and reduced inventory of spare parts. The valve seats are brass with options of aluminum or stainless steel.

Style 150 spray nozzles are built with a female NPT ½” thread to accommodate our special swivel adapters. Swivel hose barb adapters are available in either 1/2”, 5/8”, or 3/4” barb size.
