The UnitedBuilt BC2179 duckbill side spray nozzle directs water alongside the truck for dust-control applications. Its 1/4-inch × 5-inch slot is designed for vertical side-spray distribution, with a 3-inch grooved inlet for connection to compatible water truck plumbing.
An original UnitedBuilt design, the BC2179 is sand cast in the USA from A356 aluminum for corrosion resistance in water spray service. Match its side-spray configuration and outlet dimensions when replacing an existing nozzle or selecting components for a spray system.
The BC2179 is intended for vertical side-spray installations. Position the nozzle to direct water toward the intended area, checking clearance around the mounting location. Actual coverage depends on water flow, operating pressure, nozzle orientation, and mounting height; the 5-inch dimension describes the physical slot width, not the ground coverage.

Confirm both the inlet connection and the discharge configuration. A matching 3-inch connection alone does not establish that another nozzle will provide the same spray distribution.
| Check | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Connection | Match the 3-inch grooved inlet to the plumbing, coupling, and gasket. |
| Replacement nozzle | Compare the existing nozzle’s slot dimensions and side-spray configuration. |
| Installation position | Confirm vertical orientation, mounting clearance, and the intended discharge direction. |
| Water supply | Confirm available flow and pressure suit the spray system; contact UnitedBuilt for application assistance. |
