The Turbo Nozzle spins a 0° jet into a rotating cone, giving you the bite of a pencil tip with the coverage of a wide fan. It's a genuine General Pump YR36K, forged brass with a ceramic rotor, rated to 3,650 PSI and 212°F. Match the size to your machine's GPM.
Key Features
-
0° jet in a rotating cone: Cuts like a 0° tip and covers like a 20 to 25 degree fan, clearing concrete and masonry markedly faster than a fixed tip.
-
Forged brass and ceramic: Forged brass housing with a shock-resistant ceramic seat, ceramic rotor, and oversized bearings. It holds the orifice shape and outlasts sealed clones.
-
Blue cover, any-direction start: A rubber cover takes drops on concrete, and an internal stabilization spring lets you aim and shoot in any position, not just a downward start.
-
Rated 3,650 PSI, 212°F: Runs hot or cold water. Minimum operating pressure is 1,150 PSI, and it needs about 1.6 GPM to keep the rotor spinning.
-
Sized to your machine: Choose 4.5, 5.5, or 8, matched to your machine's GPM at its rated PSI.
-
Serviceable, not disposable: It's a wear item with a rebuild kit, and it carries General Pump's 90-day accessory warranty.

What's Included
- One General Pump YR36K turbo nozzle in your chosen size (4.5, 5.5, or 8)
- Bare female-threaded nozzle. No quick-connect plug included.
Fits cold- or hot-water pressure washers from 1,150 to 3,650 PSI and up to 212°F. Match the size to your machine's GPM at working PSI, so a 5.5 GPM machine takes the 5.5. Oversize it and you lose pressure, undersize it and the spike can crack the ceramic or stress the pump. The inlet is 1/4" female, so thread in a 1/4" quick-connect plug (not included), and confirm BSP vs NPT before you buy fittings.
How It Works
A turbo nozzle spins a single 0° jet in a tight circle on a ceramic rotor riding on bearings, so you get the impact of a 0° tip across a 20 to 25 degree cone. That clears concrete, brick, pavers, stone, and equipment faster than a fixed fan tip. The internal stabilization spring means you can start and hold it at any angle. It etches and gouges, so keep it on hard surfaces and off wood, siding, stucco, paint, screens, and vehicles.
It runs plain high-pressure water, not chemical. The brass and metal internals corrode if SH sits on them, so don't run bleach through it. For chemical, use a downstream injector or an X-Jet at low pressure, and flush the nozzle with fresh water if it ever contacts SH.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size turbo nozzle do I need?
Match the size to your machine's GPM at its rated PSI. A 4.5 GPM machine takes the 4.5, a 5.5 takes the 5.5, an 8 takes the 8. Oversize loses pressure, and undersize spikes it and can crack the ceramic.
Can I use a turbo nozzle for SH or soft wash?
No. It's a high-pressure water tip, not a chemical applicator, and the brass body corrodes if SH sits on it. For chemical, run a downstream injector or an X-Jet M5 Nozzle at low pressure, and flush the turbo with fresh water if it ever contacts SH.
Why did my turbo nozzle stop spinning?
Usually grit in the rotor or calcium buildup, or running below the 1,150 PSI minimum. Soak it in vinegar, clear the rotor carefully, and run an inline filter to keep debris out. The wrong size for your machine can stop the spin too.
