Claim:
1. A spray system comprising at least one spray bar having at least one oscillating spray nozzle associated therewith, wherein the spray system includes a frame on which the at least one spray nozzle is pivotably mounted about a pivot axis and a drive system to cause the at least one spray nozzle to oscillate over a predetermined angle about the pivot axis, and a fluid manifold supplying fluid to the at least one spray nozzle, wherein the at least one spray nozzle is coupled to the fluid manifold by a hose member formed into a loop having a substantially arcuate path extending from an inlet connected to the fluid manifold in a fixed position at the perimeter of the arcuate path to an outlet connected to the at least one oscillating spray nozzle, wherein the arcuate path of the hose member extends around the pivot axis of the at least one oscillating spray nozzle and the outlet moves in association with the at least one oscillating spray nozzle substantially along the arcuate path of the loop such that the minimum bend radius of the hose member is not exceeded at substantially any point during the oscillating motion of the at least one spray nozzle.
