B&G 24" Valve Cable
B&G 24" Valve Cable
The B&G 24" Valve Cable is manufactured by B&G Equipment Company is a replacement part for B&G sprayers with the Extenda-Ban Valve. The valve cable is an important part of the sprayer as it helps to transport the fluid from the tank to the sprayer tip so it can be distributed and sprayer properly. Valve cables experience wear and tear over time and should be replaced periodically to keep the sprayer performing at a high level.
Tools Needed
To use this part, you will need the appropriate B&G Sprayer with Extenda-Ban Valve on a 24-inch extension wand, a pair of pliers or a crescent wrench to loosen and tighten parts when assembling and disassembling.
How to Use
- Step 1: Following the instructions in the repair manual, detach the valve and extension from the hose and undo the packing.
- Step 2: Remove the valve cable by pulling it back slowly through the back end of the extension. The threaded end of the cable at the nozzle end is short and easily passes through the curve in the Extension. The end of the cable at the valve end is long and will not pass through the curve. Replace the cable if it is worn or damaged.
- Step 3: Re-assemble the Extension by inserting the short end of the cable into the back so that threads are exposed at the nozzle end.
Where to Use
The B&G 24" Valve Cable is meant to be used only for replacement on a B&G handpump sprayer models with the Extenda-Ban Valve Make sure the extension is the right size for the cable as this can only fit the 24-inch wands.
When to Use
Replace the valve cable when it has been damaged or you are experiencing leaks or any other reduction in spray quality. How often this part is changed depends on how often you use the sprayer. If it is heavily used, the part wears and tears quicker. Typically, at a minimum, we suggest changing it out annually.
Safety Information
Be sure to wear gloves when handling the B&G sprayer parts, as there may be residue from chemicals or buildup on the sprayer parts. Be sure to properly drain and clean the sprayer parts before performing maintenance. Keep the valve cable out of reach of pets and children.
Special Considerations
Along with the valve cable, check to see if any other small parts on the B&G Sprayer need replacing such as the valve packing. Set a maintenance schedule for your sprayer and change out all the parts in one shot to save time so your B&G sprayer can be ready to use.
