14 minutes for a spray wand. Worth it. You make wands better than a wizard!
What I learned:
I need to up my sprayer game this winter.
#squirtlife is in your future
First Aussie 😁. A real ,John The “Toolman Taylor” Ware session today. A great tutorial.😁👍👍
Thanks DFW for the plans, and thanks John for making it much easier to visualize! 👌
I’ve been looking at upgrading sprayers but doing this upgrade is so much more worth it!
Agree. Almost any sprayer will work great with a nice wand and a CF valve.
Love your style man! Knowledge and tips trump cinematography all day! This is what RUclips's all about!
Total price excluding shipping as of 9-22-19 $101.77. Consistency priceless.
thank you, just what I was looking for
With all the bullshit going on in the world, I want to say thank you for The Lawn Forum…it gives me an outlet. Especially during the winter!!!
Thanks! I appreciate the kind words!
Well done, even I can follow along.
John Ware Hahaha
Wowi ordered this setup from your recommendation and used it today and it is awesome on my 20v Chapin sprayer. It is Awesome now. ThNks for all the info and God bless.
Glad to hear you're enjoying it. It is a game changer.
Glad to see you have 2 x Tennessee speed wrenches at home, well prepared John.......well prepared.
Toby Cline 🤣
This was very useful. I learn much better with these type visuals. Thanks for the vid.
Nice, seen anything on building a boom sprayer with 4 or 5 heads? Walking boom.
I found the first gen Ryobi 18v to be the biggest pile of crap ever. I couldn't bring myself to buy another backpack. This and a modded tube for the inside brought it back to life.
Dude that's a nice 👌👍/ I'm tired buying junk wands at retail stores / I'm on a job I like get done ✔/ not messing around d with junk
Great video, John!
Thanks for the help!
Thanks for the great video.
Very cool! Thanks for the video!
Looks like the link to the trigger isn’t there anymore
Thank you 😁
Works amazing but I don’t know how to drain the hose and wand when finished spraying or how to relive the pressure so my backpack sprayer isn’t pressurized at all times in storage.
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.
The sprayer wand & nozzle conten
So now that we are all building awesome spraying wands what do we do for tanks and pumps? Do we build our own too or just buy one and put an awesome wand on it.
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.
This may be a dumb question but I looked at my 2 sprayers that I have and can't figure out for the life of me how you connect the wand to an existing sprayer without cutting the hose off and splicing it in. Is the a video showing this at all?
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. 👍🏼
John, the link for the quick jet nozzle doesn't work😔
Is there a way for quick disconnecting the wand/hose from the sprayer? I have a couple small 1 Gal sprayers I use for spot spraying when I don’t need to use my backpack sprayer. I still want the option to use this wand setup though.
Also, the link for the Quick cap doesn’t work. I did a search on their website but there’s a bunch of them and I’m not sure which one is needed.
So if we leave off the cf valve using a battery sprayer, would the nozzle body need other piece to fit on the wand?
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.
Off topic, but how do you have a tv outside so close to the roof? Couldn't rain with heavy winds blow onto it?
QUESTION: I own a My4Sons electric 4 Gallon backpack sprayer. What (if any) CF valve psi rating would you recommend? It operates up to ~60psi. Absolutely love this video!!! Thx!
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.
Am I correct in assuming that the Quick caps color needs to match the color of the nozzles in order for them to fit?
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.
Would love to put one of these together, but almost none of the links are working
Sorry, I fixed the links.
What is the finest mist/fog like spray tip tee jet sells. I have looked through the website it is hard for me to make sense of the chart.
When will your links to all the parts be fixed ? i still can't access the links, page says PAGE NOT FOUND
They should be repaired now.
What is the thread size of the CF Valve to order?
11/16 TeeJet threads
Parts Links in the description are not working. Is there any way you could be persuaded to update them? I'd like to build one of these for a Chapin 24V--assuming the parts from your video are compatible.
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.
Do you need the CF valve on battery sprayers?
@@realJohnWare Thanks
I'm in the game coach, I have 2 hand-held pump sprayers (1 & 2 gal), what PSI and Thread size needed for CFValve portion of the wand? Thx!
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.
I just “finally” got around to assembling everything and have come up with an issue.
This is connecting to a Ryobi backpack battery sprayer and the existing hose end that connects to the wand has a 1” diameter threaded end.
The hose from the Ryobi has a larger diameter than the swivel barb recommended here.
So now I’m kinda stuck. Any input on how to best proceed would be appreciated.
Thx!
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.
What is the TeeJet thread size for the CF valve? I cannot find this info and rather buy the right one the first go.
Thanks,
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.
Half the links don't work
I will try to fix them soon. I have this on my to-do list.
Links should be repaired now.
What’s the total cost if you order all these parts?
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.
What size cf valve did u get
21 PSI. 11/16 TeeJet threads.
Where can someone buy the components for The DFW wand?
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!
This wand is no longer for sale at the lawn forum page. ☹️
I’ve never sold them, but I list all the parts to DIY in the description.
