It worked well. With a bit of adjustment of the amount of pipe thread tape and torque applied to the brass piece, the initial slow leak was fixed. This conversion is really useful, thanks.

[@Gino20202]

Excellent video. Thanks for making it.

[@scotts4125]

You have no idea how helpful this was. THANK YOU! I have a new Flowzone and I bought many new Teejet tips along with the QD caps. Not one video actually showed how to connect the QD's. They never showed you need that adapter. I called the sellers and they said just push harder because the Oring is new. lol Now it makes sense. Have one on the way thank again! I didn't buy the valve BTW. I bought the strainer with 5 PSI check valve. In theory when you let off the trigger everything in the hose and wand should stay and not leak out.

Glad I could help!

[@kentdavis7787]

my backpack sprayer already has the 11/16" thread on the end of the wand. you go from 3/8 (Wand) reduced to 1/4 then expanded to 11/16, why do you add a reducer? then expander? just for pressure?

[@culturalpractice6095]

The reducer isn’t for pressure. In the video, my wand isn’t angled and to use the TeeJet quick disconnects, I still would’ve needed a female to female 3/8” to 1/4” coupler for the male 1/4” TeeJet angled adapter. In your case, if you wanted to use the quick connect adapter straight to the end of your wand then you can do so. I don’t believe TeeJet makes a 11/16” male to male angled adapter though. Hope this helps.

[@user-gt2mo1nu4m]

My sprayer still has some leaking at the quick adapter, i noticed the teejet nozzles came with a red gasket but that and the black gasket will not fit together. Any suggestions?

[@culturalpractice6095]

Are you sure the nozzle is fully seated within the quick disconnect? If so, you may need to get a replacement unfortunately.

[@michaelzielinski7703]

Will the 3/8 pressure reducing valve work on my Kobalt from Lowe’s?

[@culturalpractice6095]

Unfortunately, I’m unfamiliar with Kobalt’s line of backpack sprayers and don’t know the size threads the sprayer boom accommodates.

[@michaelzielinski7703]

Ok I got it! So for the Kobalt, you don’t need the 45 degree elbow piece. I unscrewed the existing nozzle and the whole quick connect system works perfectly.

[@culturalpractice6095]

@@michaelzielinski7703 that’s great to hear! Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help you further with!

[@johnhenriquez3868]

Wait I have the chapin too put mine is the plastic Wuan pump do I need to drig this whole set up just for the Air injection tip from teejet I can’t just change it and

[@culturalpractice6095]

If I’m not mistaken, you’ll have to use the same parts I have listed to incorporate any Tee Jet nozzle on your plastic Chapin wand. Hope that helps answers your question.

[@johnhenriquez3868]

Which tip would you recommend for a liquid fertilizer r application on lawn

[@culturalpractice6095]

@@johnhenriquez3868 depends on how the fertilizer absorbs into the grass. If the fertilizer calls for a foliar application then use the XR11004-VS since it’ll be a fine mist. If is a soil application use the AIXR11004VP since it will make larger droplets.

[@Dustin-rb8mp]

Can I not use the angle piece that comes with the sprayer?

[@culturalpractice6095]

Unfortunately no. The Chapin 45 degree angle elbow is 3/8” on both ends. The Tee Jet elbow is not and reduces from 1/4” to 11/16” to allow for the quick disconnect for the nozzles. Hope this makes sense.

[@Dustin-rb8mp]

@@culturalpractice6095 out of the 3 tips you have is one of them a wide fan good for applying plant growth regulator on Bermuda lawn? It's imperative that I apply it accurately and evenly.

[@culturalpractice6095]

@@Dustin-rb8mp all of the nozzles that I listed have wide spray pattern. If you’re using a PGR that has trinexapac-ethyl (T Nex or Primo Maxx), it is absorbed through the grass foliage and you should use the XR11004-VS that has will create fine droplets. If you’re using a PGR that has paclobutrazol (Trimmit), it is root absorbed and you should use the AIXR11004-VP, since that nozzle is air inducted it will create larger droplets and can penetrate through the soil. If you want more information on other Tee Jet nozzles and or if the nozzles I showed in the video aren’t applicable to your program use this link for more information (www.teejet.com/CMSImages/TEEJET/documents/catalogs/broadcast_nozzles.pdf#page=5) Hope this helps!

[@Dustin-rb8mp]

Man do you have Facebook? I could use your help. I bought everything you did and its not going together like you show. You can find me on Facebook Dustin Greenway.

[@culturalpractice6095]

I’m unable to find you. You can find me on Facebook though in the Southern Lawn Syndicate Facebook page. My name is Cameron Smith and you can find the same post I made about this there. You can comment on that post since they may be others who are having trouble too.

[@Dustin-rb8mp]

The brass part you used US NOT the brass part you linked in the description. That's the only mistake.

[@johnhenriquez3868]

Add me or call me I did the same set up order all the parts work great only thing that didn’t line was the nipple i had to go to Lowe’s n rig an compressor fitting and it work like a charm

[@Dustin-rb8mp]

@@johnhenriquez3868 I got it all figured out. Thanks for the offer

It was difficult to follow you, you didn't seem sure of yourself connecting all the parts to the Chapin sprayer wand. Couldn't be see any details on the nozzles,

Continued. ....hopefully all the attached files will help make sense of the parts & nozzles. Keep going, don't stop. [e-mail] [e-mail]

[@culturalpractice6095]

Thanks for your feedback, I can work on being more concise. All of the parts mentioned in the video and in the description fit properly. Is there a specific step that you need further clarification?
