Titanium wand jets,

On most of my wands i found if you slighty angle the jets you can eliminate overspray and streaking (in the middle where 2 jets spray patterns hit one another)

I think 80 degree jets are good if you don’t have jet extenders. What’s the current angle on the outside jets?

Even the old Jimmy Bane wand would do that at 150 psi

The only wand I know of that’s a 5 jet is a pmf mach15

80015= 80degree spray and 1.5flow x 5= 7.5flow of water

Four jet would probably be 11002 in the middle and 9502 on the ends.
6 jets would the same except add two 9502 in the other ports,
In the 6 jet you could drop to 9501.5 and 11001.5 jets to reduce to 9 flow instead of 12 flow.

Well the jet is off the carpet if it's the mach 15 with no extenders so that's probably good.
You can tell if it flushes good or not and make changes if needed

CMP aka GreenHorn has 5 jets, I believe Joe. B sells a jet manifold that would convert your wand to another spray bar..
The side jets are slightly turned inwards to prevent overspray. The wand in the pic is used for residential carpets only, set at #9 flow- 95015. The identical wand is set to #11 flow for the commercial accounts. ( mostly CGD carpeting) Both are fitted with extenders to counter the glides.
Flow is based on psi. Most spray jets are rated at 40psi. Based on that, 5 - 80015 jets will flow .75 gpm @40 psi (.15gpm per jet×5) and 1.35 to 1.5gpm @400psi

You would have to recalculate for the 3/8" solution hose again, if you want to be so factual. It's possible that we used to mistakenly refer to jet opening as flow, e.g., 6×9502 would equal to #12. I promise to give you exact numbers once I have more time and do the bucket test

The 4 flow is a nice compromise. I can use it with my 500 psi portable, which gives me more like 400 psi on a 4 flow or on the truck mount. I don't notice any real difference from my 6 flow wands. I feel the shear angle helps.
I have no idea what you're talking about. Ive always simply used spraying systems flow charts for flows based on tip size and pressures , then simply multiplied by number of jets to reach flow. Flow is based on size of tip and psi at tip. Diameter, construction (materials its made of),and length of hose will cause pressure drop from pressure source to tip which will effect actual flow. Thats why jets are measured on a chart at a standard pressure generally 40psi and adjusted up or down from base for final flow. And all this is made sooo much easier for this computer generation by simply asking google "whats the flow rate of a _ _ _ _ # jet @ _ _ _ _ psi and getting an immediate answer. To get the pressure reading , youll need a pressure guage on quick connects at the wand. But if your really really really geeking out and yoy have a hose connecting your trigger valve to jet manifold youll connect the guage where the manifold and hose meetYou would have to recalculate for the 3/8" solution hose again, if you want to be so factual.
