4. Setup and Installation
- Prepare the Connection: Ensure your pump outlet or pipe has a 1-inch (DN25) female thread. Clean any debris from the threads.
- Apply Sealant: To prevent leaks, apply pipe thread sealant tape (Teflon tape) or pipe dope to the male threads of your pump outlet or pipe. This is crucial as the nozzle itself does not include gaskets.
- Attach the Nozzle: Carefully screw the fountain nozzle onto the prepared male thread. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench to tighten securely, but do not overtighten to avoid damaging the threads.
- Test for Leaks: Turn on the pump and check for any leaks around the connection point. If leaks occur, tighten the nozzle further or reapply thread sealant.
5. Operation
Once installed, the nozzle will produce a fan-shaped water spray. The direction of the spray can be adjusted to suit your aesthetic preferences.
Adjusting the Spray Direction:
- The nozzle features an adjustable joint that allows you to tilt and rotate the spray head.
- Gently hold the base of the nozzle and adjust the top section to achieve the desired angle and direction of the fan spray.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your fountain nozzle.
- Cleaning: Periodically inspect the nozzle for blockages from debris, algae, or mineral deposits. Clean the slot with a small brush or a thin, non-abrasive tool.
- Brass Care: As the nozzle is made of brass, it may naturally tarnish over time. This does not affect performance. If a polished look is desired, use a brass cleaner according to its instructions.
- Winterization: In freezing climates, remove the nozzle from the water feature before winter to prevent damage from ice expansion. Store it in a dry, protected area.
