Abstract: A dispensing nozzle adapter for use in conjunction with nozzle down valves that are utilized in pressurized container applications. The nozzle encloses the stem and has a top portion which can be cut to create a desired nozzle opening. The bottom portion of the nozzle contains a lug which snaps over the flared section of the stem of the valve. The lug not only immovably locks the nozzle to the valve but also forms a seal with the flexible section of the valve.
