The Fine Nozzles and Coarse Nozzles provide the best spray patterns for vertical or angle optics. The Fine Nozzles offer less flow for controlled application on smaller optics, while the Coarse Nozzles offer faster application on optics larger than 3". While both the Fine and Coarse Nozzles will work for horizontal or near-horizontal optics, the Medium and Regular Nozzles are able to apply First Contact Polymer faster than the Fine or Coarse Nozzles.

Please see Specification Table for a quick guide on which nozzles to select.
