Spray Guns

A spray gun is an attachment for a spray rig that allows for a variety of new control options. It attaches to the end of the hose on your sprayer rig and regulates the flow of liquid from the hose. The primary user benefits of a spray gun attachment are the reduction of operator fatigue and greater control in an application.

The pistol grip style of spray gun, like the JD9-style gun, allows the applicator to use the gun for longer than a traditional wand without straining their wrist, while the spray gun itself allows for a variety of tips and barrel configurations. Simply attach the spray gun to the end of your spray rig's hose and choose your barrel configuration.

Recommendation

Our top recommendation for a spray gun is the JD9-style Pesticide Spray Gun. Its durable stainless steel construction ensures it will last through years of heavy application. It is also highly adjustable and can be customized with multiple different fittings and barrel configurations, making it an extremely versatile tool.

Parts

A spray gun attachment, generally speaking, breaks down into three major parts, the barrel, the handle, and the attachment. Each of these breaks down into several subcomponents, for more detailed information on each, refer to the product literature included with your specific unit.

The Barrel

The barrel is the “business end” of the spray gun attachment. In the case of our recommended model, the spray pattern can be adjusted from a fine mist to a solid stream by simply rotating the stock barrel. The barrel on our recommended model may also be removed and a variety of other attachments may be installed depending on what’s needed for an application.

The Handle

The handle is pretty simple, it’s the part the applicator holds while using the spray gun. The pistol grip handle style of spray guns allows one to spray for longer periods of time with less fatigue. Our recommended model also has a trigger lock that allows the unit to spray constantly without the need to constantly squeeze the trigger.

The Fitting

The fitting is the point of attachment between whatever hose the spray gun is connected to and the handle. To use the JD9-style gun, you will need the correct adapters to attach it to your spray rig. This gun features a 1/2 inch female end, requiring applicators to use either a 1/2 inch male plug for use with Hanson or quick coupler heads, or a 1/2 inch hose barb with a 3/8 inch or 1/2 inch connection, depending on your hose's inside diameter.

Installation Guide

Step 1: Configuration

First, configure your spray gun as needed for your particular application. This means choosing an appropriate barrel if the stock barrel will not suffice and choosing an adaptor that will allow your spray gun to attach to the hose you’re using. Once configured simply attach the spray gun to the end of the hose.

Step 2: Spray

Once the spray gun is attached and pressurized spraying is very simple, just point and squeeze the trigger assembly to spray.

Inspection and Maintenance

It is always recommended that you inspect your equipment before each use. Make a quick visual inspection of your spray gun and ensure there is no damage to the barrel, handle, or attachment. Store your spray gun in a dry place when not in use. Other than these basic practices, not much detailed maintenance is required to keep your spray gun working smoothly.
