Nozzle is defined as?

• A. Launches the canister into the air
• B. Dispenses the product from the canister according to the prescribed pattern
• C. Stores the OC inside
• D. Mixes OC with the propellant

Answer: (B)

The nozzle is the outlet that releases OC spray from the canister in a controlled pattern. It shapes how the spray is dispersed, controlling the direction, spread, and reach so the product is delivered as designed. It does not store OC inside the device, does not mix the OC with propellant, and does not propel the canister. A properly functioning nozzle ensures the prescribed spray pattern is achieved and helps maintain effective and safe deployment.
