A spraying system is provided including a spray gun and a spray nozzle. The spray gun has a discharge end. A locating pin is arranged on the discharge end of the spray gun. The spray nozzle is selectively mountable on the discharge end of the spray gun. The spray nozzle has a discharge orifice configured to produce a asymmetrically distributed fluid discharge pattern wherein the location of maximum fluid discharge is offset from the center of the fluid discharge pattern. The spray nozzle has an alignment notch extending along an outer surface of the spray nozzle. The locating pin is arranged on the spray gun and the alignment notch is arranged on the spray nozzle such that when the spray nozzle is mounted on the discharge end of the spray gun in a predetermined orientation the locating pin extends into the alignment slot.
A spray nozzle comprising a nozzle body and a spray tip, said spray tip having a non-circular discharge orifice formed in a front end thereof configured to produce a non-circular fluid discharge spray pattern, said nozzle body having an alignment indicator visible from a front end of said nozzle body, said alignment indicator being arranged in predetermined orientation relative to the discharge orifice for providing an external visual observation to a user of the spray nozzle of the orientation of the discharge orifice and a spray pattern to be discharged from the spray nozzle discharge orifice.
