Abstract
An improved rinse nozzle apparatus is described which is mounted on an aircraft waste tank and functions to efficiently rinse the interior of the waste tank when the tank is emptied and cleaned. The rinse nozzle includes a plastic body mounted on the tank. A stainless steel hose connect nipple is molded into the body at a first end of a liquid passageway which is provided therethrough. A plurality of brass rinse jets are also molded into the body. The rinse jets disperse and direct the cleaning solution against the inside of the waste tank. By fabricating the rinse nozzle mostly from light-weight plastic and molding the metal hose connection nipple and rinse jets into the plastic body, a lighter weight, leak free, and less expensive rinse nozzle is provided.
