Abstract
A nozzle for a vehicle window washing system includes a stem releasibly attachable through an aperture in a vehicle panel. A through bore extends through the stem and receives a spring biased check ball. Ribs project inward into the bore for supporting the spring and for forming fluid flow paths exteriorly of the spring through the stem. A head having a fluid discharge bore is snap connected to the stem via a mating projection and recess. A flange projects intermediately between the ends of the stem and seats on a vehicle panel to isolate the snap connection between the head and the stem from the mounting connection between the stem and the vehicle panel. A secondary connection is provided by a plurality of projections extending outward from the flange into recesses in a peripheral side wall of the head. A seal is mounted between the stem and the head.
