Tools Needed
To install the Suction Hose on a spray rig, you would need hose clamps, tubing cutters, and a crescent wrench or pair of pliers.
How to Use
- Step 1: Cut the hose to the appropriate length so it can comfortably connect between the pump inlet and tank of the spraying rig.
- Step 2: Connect one end of the suction hose to the tank and secure it with the help of a hose clamp. Then connect the opposite end to the tank inlet side and fasten to the pump inlet. Again use the hose clamp to secure it in place.
- Step 3: Once the hose is connected, turn on the spray rig's pump motor to test the part to ensure that liquid is flowing properly through the hose with no leaks or issues.

When to Use
The Suction Hose is used to ensure pesticide flows properly from the tank to the pump so it can move to the hose to be sprayed. Replace the hose when it has been damaged or if there is a leak.
