Drilling out nozzles for fine tuning?

Just wondering if you have the specs on the actual orifice size of your nozzles. I'm between sizes and would like to just drill out the orifice with jewelers bits.

I'd like to have a DO1.5



Mainly interested in these orifice sizes so I can calculate the size bit needed for a 1.5GPM hole.

DO .75
DO 1
DO 2

Thanks.

Well the orifice size is not the only thing on the nozzle that controls it's flow, the little pill on the inside plays a big role in that. And we don't give out all our specs.

But to give you a example a D01 and DO2 both have the same 0.01" orifice. Plus you run the risk of ruining the spray pattern by drilling them out.

Well that’s good to know. So I suppose stacking 2 .75’s is the way to go.

Thanks.
