spray head

Water-dispersing fitting

A spray head is the detachable or fixed nozzle that disperses water or other liquids in a shower, sink, or garden hose.

The term also applies to similar components in cleaning equipment, paint sprayers, and irrigation systems.

Spray heads typically offer adjustable patterns—from fine mist to concentrated stream: The spray head on the kitchen faucet pulls out for rinsing dishes.
