Tips to save money on your B&G Sprayer:
-
Tip Cleaning – Follow manufacturer directions
for cleaning tips. This usually includes
using a soft bristle brush and mild cleaner.
Wire brushes, pins, pocketknives, etc. will destroy tips.
-
Tip Wear – One study reported that brass tips
wear out at about 10% per year. This
means every year your tip is putting out 10% more product than it was last
year. A new B&G Tip (about $20) is cheaper
than a 10% increase in chemical cost.
-
Prevent Downtime - Keep the old tip as a backup. Store in the vehicle in your emergency repair
kit.
-
B&G Sprayer 4-Way Tip – is great if you
use multiple spray patterns. If you only
use 1 or 2 of the patterns, substituting industry available Spraying Systems
parts is cheaper and easier. See the 2
photos. 
= The 1st shows the typical B&G Sprayer assembly (wand,
modified assembly, tip, retaining ring).
This tip assembly is about $45 in parts (excluding the wand).
= The 2nd photo shows how to do it
with industry standard parts. The modified
assembly is removed. All that is needed
is the tip and the retaining ring. This
tip assembly is about $10 in parts.
-
Secure your B&G sprayer in the truck. Lots of B&G sprayers get damaged from
rolling around in the back of the vehicle or being crushed by other unsecured
equipment.
-
It’s a Spray Wand not a Crowbar – Our repair
shop sees many B&G sprayers’
wands and tips that are damaged from opening gates, moving trash & debris,
being dragged on the ground and other inappropriate uses.
