mesh was probably the wrong description .. its part of the brass nozzle and it looks like the end has about 5 holes through it instead of 1 full hole

nozzles
ive seen nozzles that are just plain brass tubes and also ones with like a grill over the end ?
is there any difference to performance with them, whats the idea of the grill/mesh is it to create swirl or something with the lpg? just curious as to why its needed?
