General Information
Description
- These rotating PTFE nozzles are designed to withstand aggressive chemicals while delivering reliable cleaning performance. They are commonly used in chemical processing, food and beverage production, pharmaceutical vessels, and pulp and paper applications.
- Available spray patterns range from 180° to 360°, allowing either targeted surface coverage or full tank interior cleaning based on application needs.
- Powered by the reaction force of the cleaning fluid, the rotating action supports efficient washing and rinsing. This operating principle makes the nozzles especially suitable for clean-in-place systems where consistent internal coverage is required.
- Manufactured from corrosion-resistant and chemically stable PTFE fluoropolymer resin, both configurations perform best with clean, debris-free liquids and deliver higher surface impact compared to fixed spray balls.
- Part Number: 55000A-R-3/4-46-TEF
Specification Summary
×
The highest fluid temperature this nozzle is rated to handle continuously. Running above this limit can shorten the part's service life or affect its seals and materials — check your process temperature against this rating before ordering, and contact us if you need a higher-temperature option.
×
The smallest tank opening or manway the nozzle assembly needs to pass through for installation. Measure your actual opening before ordering — if it's smaller than this, the assembly won't fit through, and a different mounting approach may be needed.
×
How the nozzle achieves its rotating spray pattern. A fluid-driven design uses the reaction force of the liquid itself to rotate the nozzle — no motor, electricity, or external power source is required, so it runs on nothing but your system's existing flow and pressure.
×
We stock this product across a range of inlet sizes, from small threaded ports up to larger flanged connections. Pick your size based on how much flow your system needs to move — bigger inlets handle higher volumes — and match it to the piping you're connecting into.
×
Most of our threaded fittings use a tapered-thread standard — NPT (National Pipe Thread) is the most common in North America, with BSPT (British Standard Pipe Taper) common internationally. Check your existing plumbing or fittings to confirm which standard your system uses before ordering; other thread types are available on request.
×
NPT and BSPT threads cover most of our catalog. A number of models also come in flanged or quick-connect versions, and sanitary (hygienic) connections are available on select nozzles for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical applications.
×
Flow figures are given in gallons or liters per minute at the specific operating pressures we've listed. Running the nozzle at a higher pressure than shown will generally increase flow beyond these published numbers — contact us if you need a rating at a pressure we haven't listed.
×
This part is available in different material options to match your chemical exposure, wear conditions, and expected service life. See the option selected above for what's offered on this model, or contact us if you need a material not listed here.
×
The largest tank diameter a given rotating nozzle is built to clean effectively. Choose a model rated for a diameter that matches or exceeds your tank's interior width so the spray pattern reaches all the way to the walls.
×
We sell these three ways, depending on what you already have on hand: just the body (no tip included), just the tip (fits onto a body you already own), or the full assembly with both pieces included.
×
This tells you how much of the tank interior the nozzle reaches. A full 360° model cleans every interior surface; a 180° model sprays downward only, which works well for open-top tanks. Other coverage patterns are available if neither fits your setup.

×
How the nozzle can be mounted inside the tank. Every model in this line works hanging straight down; several also work mounted upward, sideways, or at an angle, depending on your tank's layout.
