  • Patent number: 11027293
    Abstract: A fluid dispensing nozzle includes a housing including an outlet to discharge fluid to a surrounding environment. The fluid dispensing nozzle also includes a nozzle insert disposed in the housing and including an inlet in fluid communication with a source of fluid to receive a fluid flow. The nozzle insert includes an outlet orifice in fluid communication with the outlet to direct fluid from the inlet toward the outlet. The nozzle insert is selectively movable relative to the housing between a first position in which fluid is discharged through the outlet at a first flow rate and a second position in which the fluid is discharged through the outlet at a second flow rate larger than the first flow rate. The nozzle insert is movable between the first position and the second position independent of the pressure of fluid at the inlet.
