Nozzle geometries are typically either cylindrical or somewhat conical. Our injection molded nozzles utilize v-shaped, vertical slots that prevent fouling.  Some believe that the older-style conical nozzles have an angular backwashing benefit; however, cylindrical nozzles are manufactured with robust, reinforcing screen ribs that ensure added longevity.

The size of a nozzle is directly proportional to flowrate. Look at both the service as well as backwash rates to determine the controlling design conditions.  Comparing some non-lateral nozzle models with the same screen slot size and stem bore diameter, the flowrate capacity for a Type K3 is higher than Types K2 and C2, which in turn are higher than Types K1 and C1, which have a higher capacity than a Type D.
