In
our "Classic" line, these nozzles are each cast
and then precisely machined and bored. During assembly,
each is individually threaded into the shower head faceplate.
This provides superior and more consistent streams of
water than the "punched holes" or dimples found
in many shower heads that may appear similar at a glance.
Machined
brass nozzles costs much more to manufacture and install
but provide a superior shower and near-laminar streams
for excellent pressure.
In
this photo you can see that each nozzle is individually
threaded and gasketed. Notice that the hole at the back
of the nozzle, where the water enters, is larger than
the front hole. Each nozzle is tapered internally to provide
the optimum pressure at the exit. This provides a level
of stream control that is not possible in shower heads
that have simple holes in the faceplate instead of machined
nozzles.

This
is a closeup of the faceplate of a shower head with typical
"dimples" instead of individual nozzles. These
holes may be either punched or drilled through the faceplate.
Since
the faceplate isn't very thick, the water does not get
controlled as it exits the shower head and the spray just
"squirts" out of the holes instead of being
guided out by machined nozzles. This greatly affects the
quality of the shower since the water streams must not
disperse or break up before reaching the body or the water
becomes more of a mist with much lower pressure. |
