You can order any nozzle size, but you'll have to wait. A #6 is 3 GPM at 1000 PSI. A #8 would be a whole gallon per minute more per tip, so you'll either use a lot more water or have a lot less pressure.

they only list #5 and #8... wish they had #6 ..then it will be a no brainer. So if i go with #5 then the pressure will be higher and narrow spray pattern and use less water?

They may only list the common sizes, but if the nozzle is manufactured in a certain size you can order them through Kleen-Rite. It will just take longer, and you'll have to call them.

Try Windtrax - they stock more sizes.
