The VeeJet 8002 is a stainless steel flat spray nozzle with a 1/4 inch male NPT thread. It produces a flat, tapered-edge spray pattern and is commonly fitted to carpet cleaning and truckmount wands for even chemical or rinse distribution.

A Note on the Part Number
Spraying Systems publish H1/4VV-8002 as the brass 8002 and H1/4VV-SS8002 as the 303 stainless version. Every other figure in the table is the same for both. This listing is the stainless jet; the brass equivalent is Vee Jet Brass 1/4 Inch 8002 (B202).
Compatibility
Fits any wand or spray manifold with a 1/4 inch female NPT jet port. Confirm thread type before ordering, as some imported wands use BSPT fittings rather than NPT.
CCW also stocks a Strainer Check Valve for 1/4 Inch Vee Jet, which helps protect this nozzle from debris blockages.
How to Read the Number
An 8002 is an 80 degree fan flowing 0.2 US gallons per minute at 40 psi. The first digits are the spray angle; the remaining digits are the flow at 40 psi with the decimal point understood.
The 40 psi rating is a reference condition, not what you will see on a truckmount. Flow through a fixed orifice rises with the square root of pressure, which is why Spraying Systems publish 0.71 gpm for this jet at the top of its range. The fan also widens as pressure rises — 91° at 200 psi against 80° at 40 psi — which matters when you set jet spacing on a wand.
Maintenance
Helpful Hint: Stainless Steel Jets last up to 3 times longer than Brass Jets. Although difficult to detect, jets do wear out and can contribute to uneven cleaning, loss of heat, and change of chemical draw.
CCW's other jet pages give a working interval of replacing brass jets every six months and stainless jets annually on a machine in regular use, and put stainless at roughly twice the life of brass. The exact multiple depends on water quality, chemical and pressure — the point is that stainless lasts noticeably longer.
- Replace the whole set on a wand at once, not one jet at a time — mixing new and worn jets gives an uneven bar.
- Spraying Systems' guidance is to replace a tip once its flow exceeds a new tip's by 10 per cent. Catch one jet's output for a minute at a known pressure and compare.
- Keep the in-line strainer in place and flush with clean water after chemical use. At 0.2 gpm the orifice is small enough for grit or scale to distort the fan.
- Use a 9/16 in socket or spanner on the hex — not pliers — and do not over-tighten into the wand.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix this jet with other jets on the same wand?
No. Every jet on a head should be the same angle and the same capacity, or the solution goes down unevenly.
Will the 1/8 inch 8002 fit the same wand?
No. The 1/8 inch tips in the same numbering are a smaller thread. Check what your wand takes; the stainless 1/8 inch 8002 is B306.
Is stainless worth it over brass?
On a machine that works every day, yes — the longer life makes it cheaper per month. On a spare tool that comes out occasionally, brass is fine.
