Spray Hose

When operating a spraying rig, one of the most crucial components is the spray hose. A high-quality, heavy-duty spray hose is a must since spraying chemicals at high pressures can be quite demanding on a hose's durability. 

When conducting a chemical application, it pays to do your homework and select the best hose for your spraying needs. You need a hose that will withstand the internal stress from chemicals sprayed at high pressures and the external stress of having to pull and drag the hose around on the field.

At Solutions Pest & Lawn, we carry durable, long-lasting pesticide hoses for any size application you are needing. Read on below to learn more about spray hoses and use this page to shop our top recommended hoses for your spraying rig.

Recommendations

Our top recommendation when it comes to hoses is the High-Pressure Chemical Spray Hose (PVC). This hose comes in increments of 300 feet and can withstand a working pressure of up to 600 psi and 1,800 pounds of burst pressure.

This hose is manufactured with high-quality PVC compounds to prevent kinking and offer lightweight operation. Each hose has a pin-pricked cover that will vent any vapors and prevents ballooning.

This hose comes in different sizes (3/8 inch ID, 1/2 inch ID, 5/8 inch ID and 3/4 inch ID) so you can select which is best for your operation. 

User Guide

To best use the hose as part of a spraying rig system you will need a hose reel to properly install the hose onto. To install the hose onto a hose reel, you will need a flat head screwdriver, hose clamps, a 1/2 inch barbed fitting to whatever size hose, and a crescent wrench.

• Step 1: Attach the hose barb fitting to the reel. Once secured, slide the hose over the barbed fitting making sure to put the hose clamp on the hose before sliding it on the barb. Tighten to secure.
• Step 2: Unwind the hose completely and then reel it onto the hose reel (either via manual or electric).
• Step 3: Once you get to the end of the hose you can attach a quick-connect or hose barb depending on what you will be attaching the end of the hose to.

Inspection and Maintenance

Make sure to take time out in between applications to examine your hose regularly for general wear and tear as well as leaks. While these PVC hoses are built to last, over time they may wear to the point of being unfit for use and you will need to replace the hose entirely.
