Just got my food grade plastic hose made up but now i need a spray nozzle for it. Looking at the hardware store some nozzles say may contain lead and the others are cheap plastic. Trying to find all brass or ss steal. Any ideas??? The male and female fittings are brass. This hose will be used to clean plastic buckets and tanks with hot water.

Thanks

I used an irrigation nozzle and reduced fron 1" hose to a 1/4" ball valve and the nozzel out. All Brass. It really shoots out almost like a car wash with my gas sap pump and run at about 3/4 throttle. It cleans things real well, but stubborn slime inside my tanks still need to use the milk tank brush for a quick once over and then rinse it. I can do it without but it takes too long compared to the brush and rinse.

The manufacturers are required by law to put the lead warning on equipment. I really don't think there is any concern with it. I'm all for food safety and image, but this just isn't an issue to me.

All the best,
