Pitch Marking Nozzle Guide | Which Nozzle Do I Need?
Choosing the wrong nozzle is one of the most common and costly mistakes in pitch marking. The wrong nozzle causes poor line quality, blocked machines and wasted paint. This guide tells you exactly which nozzle to use with every Pitchmark paint and machine combination.
Nozzle Types Explained
Flat Fan Nozzle
Flat fan nozzles produce a wide, fan-shaped spray pattern ideal for marking clean, straight lines with concentrate paints. They are the most common nozzle type for standard pedestrian spray markers. Available in two sizes for pitch marking:
- Green F110-015 — standard flow, for Clubline, Lumen, Elements 4:1
- Yellow F110-020 — higher flow rate, recommended for the more concentrated Extreme White
Stainless Steel Nozzle
Stainless steel nozzles are used with ready-to-use paints (Edge, Direct, Ecoline+). They are more durable than plastic nozzles and designed to handle the viscosity and formulation of RTU paints. NOT compatible with concentrate paints mixed with water.
Misting / Atomising Nozzle
Misting nozzles are used exclusively with Ecoline+ on Pitchmark Eco spray markers. They produce an ultra-fine spray that atomises the paint, allowing just 1.5L to mark a full-size pitch. Not compatible with concentrate paints or other machines.
