agree  FIROOZEH FARHANG: je dirais "vu de l'extrémité du bec (verseur)

  -> Oui, certainement. Merci :-)
disagree  Tony M: I always do! In the first place, a Kärcher nozzle is not 'pointed' like a 'bec', and secondly, I think the manufacturer's own website could be taken as authoritative here, don't you? Please do try to be less aggressive!

  -> That's your own perception, not a fact. Before disagreeing, you should consult monolingual French dictionaries more often: > bec: • Extrémité de certains objets terminés en pointe." I think you are confusing w/ "Ferme ton bec", a vulgar colloquialism

vu du côté de la buse


Explanation:
I may be way off mark here, but I've a feeling I've come across a formulation something along these lines.

As far as I can remember, the 'nozzle' on a Kärcher is referred to as a 'buse', though again, I stand to be corrected!

Try this ref., from Kärcher's own site, to see that my suggestion of 'buse' is the official term used by at least this manufacturer:

http://www.karcher.fr/professionnels/accessoires/accessoires...

Please note that 'bec' is a very informal, colloquial word used by people like motorbike enthusiasts, but is not at all the 'official' word for this kind of 'nozzle'.
