Chapin 1352 Made in the USA 3 Gallon Heavy Duty Tri-Poxy Steel Industrial Metal Tank Sprayer with 18 Inch Brass Wand, 36 Inch Reinforced Hose and Brass Nozzle and Shut Off, Black

A good, simple sprayer. Like many other reviewers, I have been through several cheaper, plastic sprayers. This one I have been using for over a year and it works very well. There are 2 issues I have found with it.1. There is no pressure relief valve. This isn't really a fault, just a "wish it had one" kind of thing. If I need to release pressure, I lay the tank down on its side so the hose is at the top, and let it bleed off.2. The nozzle produces a fan-shaped spray, and I often want a conical spray for spot application. The fan nozzle does a great job applying evenly in sweeps. If you're applying to a large area, the fan works great. I have not been able to find a brass conical spray nozzle that will fit this sprayer, so I made one.HERE IS HOW I FIT A CONICAL SPRAY NOZZLE TO THIS SPRAYER:You will need:1. Chapin 66000 Brass Adjustable Cone Nozzle w/ Viton (available here on Amazon)2. "1/4 in MIP x Close" Brass Pipe Nipple. About $3 at any decent hardware store. (I used a Watts LFA740)1. Screw the Chapin cone nozzle onto the brass pipe nipple. You may want to use teflon tape for a tighter seal, since this connection will be permanent.2. Unscrew the fan nozzle from the wand on the sprayer.3, Screw the cone nozzle/brass pipe nipple onto the wand.4. Voila! You now have a cheap, reliable sprayer with a cone nozzle.

This is the first time buying a sprayer that was so expensive but after the last piece of junk, I decided to buy this one and see if it was any good. I'm happy to say that it is very good quality. It has a metal tip that can be cleaned when it gets clogged. I've only used it once so far but I can't imagine it falling apart for a long time. I would recommend it and would buy it again.UPDATE........I have had this sprayer for just 3 years now and the paint on the inside is coming off and clogging the sprayer tip, I have to clean it every 3 or 4 minutes, what a PAIN. I would NOT recommend buying this one EVER!!!

lOVE THE SIZE AND WORKS GREAT

I was a moron buying those cheap (even not so cheap) plastic sprayers from the local home improvement centers. This sprayer is Very well built, looks like it will last forever. No pressure release, just lay on side with the supply line on the high side. Squirts out all the air in about 20 sec, no prob.One year update: You may want a different spray tip. The fan tip is probably great for spraying concrete curing emulsion but not so good for bug spray. Can't say which tip to get, haven't ordered one but will soon. No rust yet.I'm careful not to bang it around so as not to compromise the paint/galvanized finish. Don't leave it full, the pump rod will rust, probably a standard good housekeeping practice anyway. The pump started leaking, not holding pressure.Found out earwigs (what a stupid name for a bug) got into the air holes in the top of the pump and made a mess. The pump dis-assembles easily. The screw part at the top just pops off the whole bottom section. There were bits of bug carcass throughout, especially the valve at the bottom of the pump. Once re-assembled with some synthetic grease, worked like new. So just don't leave it laying around. Still love the unit, but godda get another tip.

These work good but wish I came with the bigger spray tip

Used this sprayer for one season and it's not worth the money. The sprayer wand handle leaked from day one no matter how much I tried to tighten it which is not good if you are spraying weedkiller or other chemicals and getting it on your hand. The tip is not adjustable and the wand broke off at the handle. The tank is fine and pressurizes without leaking but without the wand working properly it's useless.

We use this for coating fence posts and trailer decks. It works very well and was built with quality in mind. Make sure to filter the liquid as it will clog the sprayer nozzle if there are large particles. Have ran very thick and very thin products through it and it does great!

This was the second unit purchased in recent past- first unit worked fine and took it to beach house. This unit worked great until a few days after the return period closed. Will not maintain pressure and not functioning. The pumping unit has failed. 50% failure rate not acceptable.
