Windshield Washer Spray Nozzle: Description and Operation

Washer Nozzle:

The two washer nozzles have integral mounts with snap features that secure them near the tops of the two wiper arms on the windshield. The lower surface of the washer nozzle has an integral barbed nipple that connects to the washer hose, and three nozzle orifices are oriented to dispense the washer fluid on the windshield glass throughout the wiped area of the glass. The washer nozzles are constructed entirely of molded plastic. The washer nozzles cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, they must be replaced.

The two washer nozzles are designed to dispense washer fluid into the wiper pattern area on the outside of the windshield glass. Pressurized washer fluid is fed to each nozzle from the washer reservoir by the washer pump/motor through rubber hoses, which are attached to a barbed nipple on the underside of each washer nozzle below the wiper arm. The three orifices of each nozzle causes the pressurized washer fluid to be emitted generously in several streams throughout the travel of the wiper arm to more effectively cover a larger area of the glass to be cleaned.
