Build A Better Sprayer Wand 

#squirtlife is in your future

Agree. Almost any sprayer will work great with a nice wand and a CF valve.

Glad to hear you're enjoying it. It is a game changer.

John Ware Hahaha

Thanks! I appreciate the kind words!

Get on "Craigs List" /Farm or Garden section. There is someone always selling plastic drums CHEAP. There are 2 plugs on the end, 3/4" and a larger some have a threaded sealed end inside also for a 3/4". When using make sure to unscrew the cap your not using slightly to let air in or it will collapse the drum. I always use the smaller opening for the outlet/hose and I open up the 3/4" on the larger and use a couple PVC pipe fittings for the air. The drums usually come in 16,32,55 gallon. I use the 16, very convenient.

You could omit the CF Valve on an electric sprayer because the electric pump should do a pretty good job of maintaining constant pressure/flow. The CF Valve is really there to regulate the flow on a manual pump sprayer where the pressure increases/decreases the more/less you pump. That said, I have seen some folks use a CF Valve on an electric sprayer without issue. I would use the blue 29psi or green 43.5psi. The yellow 14.5psi and red 21psi are better suited for manual pump applications. If the pump will support it, the ~40psi one would be nice because most of the TeeJet nozzle chart performance data is based on 40psi.

@@realJohnWare Thanks!! Extremely grateful for the detailed reply. I'll buy/test the green.

@@realJohnWare Thanks

Terry Watts no the threads are all 11/16-16 on that end of the wand. The nozzle body would thread directly onto the wand extension. 👍🏼

@@realJohnWare Thank you very much.

I would probably go 14.5 or 21 PSI for a handheld pump sprayer. You’ll want it to be 11/16 TeeJet threads if using the parts in this video.

11/16 TeeJet threads

With a hand pump sprayer stop pumping and continue to spray until the pressure reduces enough for you to open the lid. Rinse the tank and repressurize to flush the hose/wand with water.

@@realJohnWare but that leaves the wand pressurized with water instead of depressurized. thanks for the reply but maybe you can expand a bit to help me get more use out of this new equipment.

For this setup, it is 11/16-16 TeeJet threads.

@@realJohnWare - excellent, using all of your links now to place my order. Buying multiples as I know I’ll either brake something or lose it.

I am not familiar with that sprayer, but if you post some pics in the Equipment subforum on The Lawn Forum I bet someone could help you out. thelawnforum.com/viewforum.php?f=4

@@realJohnWare - It’s the model P2840. I’ll check out the forum in hopes of finding a good solution. That’s for the response.

did you ever end up figuring this out? I have the same sprayer would like to make the change as well.

No, the colors are purely cosmetic. You just need the right part number for your nozzle.

@@realJohnWare AH ok good to know. I looked for this one (CP25600-*-NYR Quick TeeJet cap) which is on the page of the nozzle I am buying but I just seem to locate the cap at all. My google skills are apparently really poor.

@@realJohnWare Just in case there is something I am failing to understand. This is the nozzle I am buying TF-VS2 Turbo FloodJet Wide Angle Flat.

21 PSI. 11/16 TeeJet threads.

Sorry, I fixed the links.

I have a Strom battery pack sprayer so I wouldn’t need the CF valve so that will save me some money. But I really really really hope I win the drawing.

They should be repaired now.

Yes, I have this on my to-do list.

@John Ware thanks John just FYSA I was able to source most of the parts from the Sprayer Depot links within your forum post. The other vendor links you had listed seemed to be broken. FWIW... appreciate you doing this for the turf enthusiast community.

Links should be repaired now.

Many come apart, but you can also cut the hose right behind the old sprayer wand to remove. The wand described in this video has a brass hose barb fitting that you would insert into the hose and clamp. A stainless worm gear clamp will suffice, or a pinch clamp if you want to get fancy. 👍🏼

Everything should be linked in the video description. 👍🏼

@@realJohnWare where do I find the description? All I cam see is the comments

@@dankomartek2145 also here: thelawnforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=12

@@realJohnWare thank you so much

@@dankomartek2145 no problem - glad to help!

I’ve never sold them, but I list all the parts to DIY in the description.

I will try to fix them soon. I have this on my to-do list.

Links should be repaired now.
