Ellen and for everyone who might be interested.
Ace Hardware is the only place I have found this but it is great. It has
adjustments for a fine spray to a heavy one.
It is made by Sherman and called Adjust-A-Power Jet Stream Nozzle Number
SN-810C. Costs $4.53. You will love it.It is solid brass with stainless
steel ball bearings.
