Glad you shared this info. Just got my Cyclone 2.5 a few days ago, and now need to get my Teejet nozzle set up.
As usual, worthy every minute of my time. Thank you for supporting us in the community and the time you invest on these great information videos
I ordered the Typhoon 3 and all of the Teejet nozzles and accessories that you mentioned. Can't wait for them to arrive so I can try it out. Again, thanks so much!
Thank you for providing all this valuable information. Very helpful for us newbies.
I happened across this at the right time. Thank you for the simple yet thorough information.
Got both of these about two weeks ago on your advice. I've only used the foliar tip so far but it was so much better than the standard tip that came with my sprayer (not a flozone). I tested the other out but only with water. Really satisfied with both of these tips.
Awesome. Happy to hear that!
Yeah man . I got the Same Tee Jet Nozzles about 6 months ago. They are game changers for sure. W/SP EX 105.
Very Helpful my friend. I finally was able to connect an Extendable Two-Nozzle Boom that Flowzone no longer sells. Again Thanks uh MILLION
This video is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thanks so much!
Finally got my teejet tip and the accessories you posted in this video l used some Teflon tape on the threads just in case
Thank you for the detail explanation! I'm new to this, so your video is super helpful!!
Glad it was helpful!
@@JimmyLewisMows Quick question..I'm so new to this and trying to figure out which parts I would need to fit my sprayer wand while watching your video and searching online.. you said 1/2" for the quick connect and adapter. Links of all the product show 1/4". I am embarrassed that I'm so confused.. did you mean 1/2" for the diameter ? is 1/4" thread pitch? (it's so obvious I'm so new lol) I just don't want to buy bunch of parts and all end up having wrong size :-S thank you..!
Good stuff Jimmy! I enjoyed the “tabletop build view”. 😎👍🏼
Thanks dude!
Man your lawn looks incredible.
Thank you for taking the time
I've got a My4Sons sprayer which has metric threads. Boy, do I love the quick connect idea though!!!
Video is a Huge help !! Thank you brother
Thanks for the Vid. I'm looking for some good aftermarket nozzels for a new sprayer I have arriving soon.
You keep teasing me with the FlowZone! I can't resist much longer!
😉
Always great TIPS Jimmy👊
Great info Jimmy. Ive been looking to upgrade to a teejet setup and you may have just pushed me to just do it!
Jimmy!!
On point as always. I received my FlowZone Cyclone 2 on Monday, ordered the tips you recommended.
I gotta say, going from the Ortho Dial and Spray to the FlowZone is great. No more hose to drag around.
How long ago did you order yours? I’m still waiting.
They’re manufactured in China, so they have been slow to ship recently. But back when I received mine it took only a few days.
Jimmy Lewis truly saddening. My patience is running thin lol. I want to try and make a tank cover 8,000 sqft. Kinda like Pete. I need to figure this out!
Thank you for the clarification!!!!!
Very helpful!! Thank you!
That is a serious tip set up! Thanks for the video
Thanks for watching!
To reduce drift for foliar (you are making clouds!) and if you can keep up the pace and have 60psi go to XR11006. I love it. For soil ramp up as well to AIXR11005. It extra coarse will penetrate better the canopy. Both will improve you app time. A middle ground is the turbo jets or even TT(twin turbo).
Thanks, I'll look into those, too!
Ah thanks Jimmo mate, this helped
Found them Jimmy! Good video!
Just picked up the FlowZone Cylclone 2.5 and really appreciate this information. I'm stuck between the XR11003 (Blue) and the XR11004 (Red) TeeJet nozzles. I want to stay as close to 1 gallon per 1000 square feet at a normal (slow) walking pace. For chelated iron and urea applications, is it better to have a fine drop size or a medium drop size?
Great video, can I get a list of all the updated parts?
Great videos did you recalibrate your flow zone when you use the TJs compared to the other one If yes what was the difference in gallon per minute? Thanks
Very helpful thank you
I want to see if this product is useful on grass fires. Using dawn dish soap or fireice by gel tec as an additive to the water should work well. I'm considering adding this to my gear.
Nice ! Thx Jimmy
How do you connect the handle to the hose line from the sprayer ?
Which would you use for a tenacity application
Have you tried Pete Denny's nozzles?
If you like the pattern of the XR8004VS (XR= extended range) you can also get it in a TP8004EVS (even fan set up for perfectly even coverage of 20” at 20” above the ground) or you can get it as DG8004VS (drift guard) for the same 80 degree fan but with larger droplets to minimize drift) Basically if you hold any of these 22-24” above the turf you can follow your mower stripes (20” for you reel guys) It’s hard to believe what a difference a decent tip vs Chinese econo-plastic can make. I just upgraded this pre-season!
I don't understand how the elbow piece is working. the you said you had 1/4 inch elbow fitted into the 1/2 female quick connect. that 45 degree elbow is not fitting into my quick connect nozzle.
jIMMY what quick disconnect do you need to buy to connect to the end of your sprayer so the QD plug goes into it?
First Aussie 😁. Great tip. 😎👍👍
Nice tips Brah.
😎
Is there an adapter/ fitting that will attach to a pressure washer gun that adapts down to a 3/8 barbed nipple to connect my gun to the backpack sprayer?
I use this setup, but turn the 45 up instead of down and hold wand at a 45. This projects spray level out in front of you and keeps it off your legs and feet.
Nice tip tips
Can teejet nozzles be used for my Milwaukee backpack sprayer? If I can, where is the link to buy all the parts I need?
Very nice! I’m assuming a pressure regulator to stop the drips between sprays?
Try TeeJet QJT8360-NYB pressure regulating nozzle body and cap QJ8360-NYB.
Do the strainers bypass the need for a gasket, or did you forego the gasket by mistake?
I’m finding that the filter in the nozzle clogs fast along with the flow zone filter it clogs fast . This is especially true for all N-ext products. You have use a metal coffee screen to filter it before adding it to flow zone and remove nozzle filter.
How is your dilution when you use the products? I haven't had any clogging issues with this setup, and I've run some pretty thick mixes through it. Curious to know your experience.
Hello Jimmy, I may be purchasing the Petra HD3000 (3 GAL SPRAYER) from Amazon soon, and would like to upgrade to the TEEJET 110° fan nozzle tip, what would you recommend or suggest i need to buy in order for this tip to fit into an adapter that goes into the OEM wand ? thanks,
Do you have any other videos where you showcase the Flowzone and your sprayer components/upgrades. I would love to see the female quick connect and determine parts I need to modify my M4 sprayer to accept quick disconnects.
This is my first impressions video:
th-cam.com/video/48QPjI6ShfA/w-d-xo.html
Should have more content coming soon.
glokuta, any luck modifying the My4Sons? I'm in the process of upgrading my tips now.
JIMMy thanks for the updated links. my only confusion is how the pieces once put together fit onto the wand itself ? you didn't go over that piece with us... can you do a short video on how to connect the adapter pieces to the wand end? I'm thinking of buying the Sprayers' Plus YT25E 2 gallon sprayer, Do you think this quick disconnect TEEJET nozzle setup would fit this sprayer ??
Same question. I must have missed something:)
Very well presented. Any thoughts about My4Sons M4 sprayer¿
Great sprayer. Comes with way too many unnecessary accessories though.
What's the link please?
Hey, my tips look a lot like your tips!
Same tips?! Let's be friends!! 😂
What have you found to be the benefits of the teejet vs the standard green or silver tip from flowzone? I own a pest control company and I'm curious to know the difference
The biggest benefits for me are the variability of flow rates and spray patterns, as well as the ability to connect them with elbow fittings to the spray shaft for better comfort. I should note that I use these tips to spray products on my lawn. When I'm spraying pest control, or spot spraying weeds in my lawn, I use the standard green tip.
Great video Jimmy. You didn’t mention o-rings. What o-rings or gaskets do you use for the threaded quick connect end and for the TeeJet tips? Thanks
I'll reply to my own question:
Found out you do not need any rubber gasket, o-ring, or washers for either the quik-connect threaded end or for the TeeJet nozzle threaded end. A washer is available from SpraySmarter for about $4 plus $9 something for delivery...no thanks. The part number is CP5871-BU. You must use a different washer if you use a quick-connect quarter turn TeeJet cap which I don't have. If you do add a washer and the filter mentioned there is not much thread left for the cap.
With no washer the tip does not leak. The stainless steel quick connect does drip a bit, but a with few wraps of teflon tape...no drip. All the parts Jimmy mentioned in his video work great...Northern Tool is slow to ship and I think the same SS quik-connects are on Amazon for half the price...SpraySmarter ships really quick and customer service is where I got all my info..Hope this all helps.
@@Airstreamgene Thank you for replying to your own comment. I was wondering if this was necessary and not having to spend $4 each is great news.
Do you need an O ring to go inside of the cap and between the nozzle and 45? Or does the filter also serve as the O ring for a better seal? If not using a filter do you need an O ring?
I do have an o ring inside the cap. Always handy to keep them around just in case.
Granted, your teejet quick connect set-up is for your Flowzone sprayer.
Would these parts also work on a Petra Tools battery powered backpack sprayer?
I assume as long as the connection sizes are the same it would work?
Hey Jimmy… which TeeJet would you recommend for fungicide applications with flowzone 2.5v? Amd which of the five settings do you use with said Teejet tip?
Thanks
Hey Patrick. I would go for a finer mist producing tip for fungicides. Settings depends entirely what's comfortable for you.
Great tip! You mentioned that the quick connect was 1/2" female threads. It looks like 1/4" though. Am I seeing it wrong. (Want to make sure I order the right size) thank you
You can order the whole setup straight from flowzone now. Link is in the description.
Where are the links? I’m using an IPad.
Could you use 1/2 inch male quick connect with a locking collar to cut out that bend piece in the middle
Probably. I like the bent piece because it allows you to hold the wand out in front of you naturally and the sprayer is aiming right at the ground.
@@JimmyLewisMows good thinking as I look at my manual pump Sprayer I see an elbow on that
I’ve got a Strom which is almost the same as the flow zone. It’s got a high and low flow option. I’m assuming running these tips on low?
Strom and Flowzone are produced by the same manufacturer. This is the variable speed model. I typically run it on the higher end of the dial.
Jimmy Lewis Thanks man!
The link for the northern tool quick disconnect doesn't take you to the actual specific product.
Hi Jiimmy, Which tip would you use for Pre/post emergent ?
I would use the higher flow/bigger droplet one. You want a tip that produces droplets that will get to the soil and not sit on the grass blades.
@@JimmyLewisMows thank you! Love the videos!
I orders a flow zone last night. Hope it comes in time for early fall applications
Home Depot link in description is incorrect. The link is for the male adapter and the one needed is female. If you look at the other adapter link and compare it to the HD one you'll see what I mean. I just bought a 1/4" female barrel adapter threded at both ends and it works now.
Sorry about that. I've updated the link for the female adapter.
This teejet setup is confusing, but this video sure helps. One question regarding that Flowzone quick connect adapter link, would that setup for $12.99 replace your other links with the smaller red teejet nozzle, quick connect coupler from Northern Tool, the 45 deg nozzle adapt, and the teejet cap (locking nut)? Assuming this Flowzone allows for swapping of other tips? Just not sure about the filter/strainer if that's built in or could be added. TIA.
Hey Tom. Great questions. The flowzone assembly gives you everything you need except the teejet nozzles. I'm not sure about the filter part of it yet. I have some on the way and will be sure to cover them in an upcoming video.
@@JimmyLewisMows Hey Jimmy, thanks for the quick reply. I went to order the flowzone assembly but backed out cuz the shipping was $19.00 to WI! So I'm trying to piece it together with the other individual links on this video. Thanks again!
Hey Tom, just heard back from my contact at Flowzone, and they changed up their shipping strategy for the adapter to USPS flat rate. Will be significantly cheaper on shipping now.
What products are considered a foilar application?
Anything that needs to be absorbed through the leaf blades of the grass.
Where can i buy the elbow piece and the quick connector
There are links in the description of this video.
Can you please do an updated parts list. I got all the parts from your lost and it doesnt work. I got the 1/2"-1/4" 45° and 1/4 quick connect and it leaks like crazy and doesnt fit well.
Use plumbers white tape on threads
Great video, but where can your subscribers get that Toro hat? Thanks, Tom
Thanks Tom. I got the hat at the GIE expo in Louisville last year.
That's probably the only way to get one. They would sell a ton of them if they put them on their website. Thanks, Tom
On the quick disconnect, can you get that at Lowes or Home depot??
Not sure. That is definitely the most expensive item, though. So it might be worth checking. If I can find one, I'll update the link.
@@JimmyLewisMows www.fzspray.com/online-store/Quick-Connect-to-11-16-Threaded-Female-Adapter-p113642474
@Condor USA Thanks for this. I think the idea is to find it locally and save on shipping. With the quick connect adapter that I have linked, and this one too, shipping costs as much as the item 😢
I have the quick disconnect with me now. Im going to see if I can fine it at "homedepot" or "house of hose".
Well I found the item at homedepot. It's in the Power Washer ile. SKU# is 719-874. The cost is $10.00 but also includes the female quick disconnect as well. I will send a pic to Jimmy to share on his YT channel. 😁
The adapter you linked to Home Depot is the wrong one. We need a female end and the one you show has a threaded male end. Am I allowed to say that anymore? I really need to know where to get that threaded female to quick disconnect adapter.
Hey Rob, sorry about that. I've updated the link. Let me know if it's not working. Thanks for the heads up.
@@JimmyLewisMows well that was quick. Link is working. Thanks for the great content, love the channel. Have a great weekend.
Which tip
I ordered everything in this video and it literally does not fit my 40v kobalt sprayer. This is so frustrating constantly waiting on parts just to use the damn thing and then they don’t even work.. what gives? My plastic curved piece isn’t the same sizes as yours and I used your link?!
Why would you think parts for a Flowzone Typhoon sprayer would be compatible with a Kobalt sprayer? The lances are completely different.
@@Mike--K How am i suppose to know that? This video says to outfit your sprayer everyone saying majority of sprayers are the same? Couldn't find anything on the kobalt so i sold it and got the yard mastery
Your Home Depot link shows a male quick disconnect and not the female threaded one. 3/4. Generally all the pressure washer fittings tend to be 3/8.
Hard to find the 3/4 fittings. I ended up buying the one in your link but it’s not correct.
The 45 degree body adapter you linked has a 1/4 inlet and 1/2 outlet . Not 1/2 on both sides. Although the do make them
I just bought 2 different adapters a 3/8 and 1/4. 1/4 seems to small and to much play when plugging in. 3/8 has a different connector end. Maybe I have an air compressor one? Anyway what would be best to get?
I did the same thing.. Got the one in the link which has the male adapter when you really need the female. I just used a brass 1/4" female adapter between the two and it worked out fine though.
😎✌️💪
I think Allyn is into the longer tips. Not that theres anything wrong with that.
Thanks for the tip! Pun intended
I don't think that is a 1/2" female it looks like a 1/4" on the quick connect.
Hi Jimmy, thanks for the helpful video. Here is a link to the tip-adapter that I found--www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RHK7HK2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Never knew the SLC area got such high heat.
Yeah we don't get much higher than 100 typically, but it gets pretty warm.
Technically, its a desert here. Its a very dry heat.
1?
Never question it.

Too slow
@@nedg3740 You must be really board to watch this.......😴
@@dronemaddness5148 lol. Board
I was actually first, I don't care what the other comments say. There's grass on your 4K face

Fiiiiiirst
Too slow
@@nedg3740 Damn you - I had the phone in my hand! Prolly standing right next to Jimmy aren't you lol
@@jaymetheaccountant i was actually watching a connor vid when it popped up.
Is that actually how you spray man?🤔 you’re kidding right? Wave the wand back and forth, with the tip faced the other direction. That’s terrible information for out newbies. 😅
I’m failing to see the part where he waves the want back and forth.
The link for the northern tool quick disconnect doesn't take you to the actual specific product.
Sorry about that! Thanks for letting me know. I've updated the link.
