Abstract
A spray nozzle and method of assembly onto the threaded end of a supply line or like by use of a conventional wrench. The spray nozzle has an elongated body formed with an axial flow passageway, a threaded upstream end, a wrench engaging downstream end, and a radial locating and support flange intermediate its upstream and downstream ends for supporting the nozzle on the wrench with the downstream end in operative relation to the gripping elements of the wrench and with the threaded upstream end extending outwardly of the wrench for positioning into threaded engagement with the threaded supply line by use of the wrench. The spray nozzle has an elongated discharge orifice and the support flange has flats formed parallel to the long axis of the discharge orifice to aid in orientating the nozzle.
