Trying to wrap my head around the PET illustrations for the windshield washer pump.. There is an illustration for an electric pump which is what I'll be using, however it seems to only call for "T" pieces - but I believe that's being shown with the early chrome nozzles.

Did maybe early nozzles incorporate a check valve, but the later black one didn't?

The illustration for the later black nozzles lists a "T" shaped "valve with valve" (probably a separate check valve, no?).

Anyone know what's what here?

I like a check valve in that system.

I'd add one if it didn't have it.

I'd also run that stuff on the bench before I installed it in the car.

I've used welding torch tip cleaners to clean/modify the spray nozzles many a time.

Some of the real late German nozzles have neat "patterns" and many are heated nowadays. I'm watching for something modern to replace the original stuff.
