A spraying system having a plurality of spray nozzle assemblies mounted on a common liquid supply header. The spray nozzle assemblies each include a nozzle body fixed to the header and a spray tip secured to the body as an incident to rotation of the spray tip relative to the body. Each spray tip has an elongated discharge orifice adapted for emitting a flat spray pattern and is formed with radial gripping wings in aligned relation to the elongated discharge orifice which enable the user to know the orientation of the discharge orifice, and hence the orientation of the flat discharging spray pattern, prior to start up of a spray operation. The nozzle bodies further each are formed with at least one pair of indicator nibs, which when disposed in longitudinal alignment with the liquid supply header, automatically establishes an orientation of the spray tip elongated discharge orifice at a predetermined relative small angle to the axis of the header so as to avoid impingement of the discharging flat spray patterns of adjacent nozzle assemblies. An alternative embodiment of a spray tip has a slightly modified locking lug design for effecting mounting of the spray tip in the common body with the discharge orifice aligned with the axis of the fluid supply header. Further alternative embodiments include a spray nozzle with a swivel mounted adapter and quick disconnect spray tip, or with an adapter having a screw-in orifice defining insert for the particular spray application.

1. A spray nozzle assembly comprising a nozzle body, a spray tip adapted for releasable securement to said body as an incident to rotation of said spray tip relative to said body, said spray tip having an elongated discharge orifice oriented along a long transverse axis and adapted for emitting a flat spray pattern in a line along said long axis, said spray tip having radial wings extending outwardly of said spray tip for facilitating rotation of said spray tip relative to said body, and said wings being disposed in radial alignment with the long axis of said elongated discharge orifice for providing a visual indication of the orientation of said discharge orifice without direct viewing thereof.
