A hose-end sprayer is a container/sprayer nozzle combination tool that allows liquid products to be mixed with water right at the end of a hose. This tool provides a fast and easy way for homeowners to apply liquid gardening products.

What is a divergent nozzle?

[də′vər·jənt ′näz·əl] (design engineering) A nozzle whose cross section becomes larger in the direction of flow.

Do you need to water in liquid fertilizer?

If your lawn gets liquid fertilizer, wait until it dries before watering, about 2-4 hours. If it’s granular fertilizer, water right away. One exception: if you also got spot weed treatments at the same time, wait for that to dry before watering, or the water will wash off the weed killer before it can work.

What are variable rate fertilizer spray tips?

The SJ3-VR and SJ7A-VR line of variable rate fertilizer spray tips feature a variable diameter orifice that produces a wide range of flow rates – it’s like having 5-tips in one. This allows for a wider range of ground speeds and/or application rates from a single tip for improved productivity.

What is a liquid fertilizer distribution kit?

A liquid fertilizer distribution kit designed with a fixed orifice that will deliver the precise placement of fertilizer at a predetermined application rate. The custom designed system can be used with various row spacings on today’s seeding equipment.

Why choose a closed pressurized variable rate system?

No changing of orifices is required to change application rates. Being a pressurized system it allows for frame mounting of the manifolds, eliminating problems encountered with high stands on multiple folding implements. The closed pressurized variable rate system is a drip free, helping keep the equipment looking like new.

What kind of hose do you use for a distributor?

The 1/4” I.D. flexible nylon braided hose makes for neat, easy and long lasting installation. A large filter near the distributor and slotted strainers attached to each orifice makes it easy to keep the product clean, which will help prevent plugged orifices.
