I deleted my previous comment 2nd to typing errors but wanted to give credit to your good review. I didn't gjve much thought to the OEM tip included with the HF backpack sprayer. Your findings were an eye opener. I like the HF sprayer good bang for the buck but the tip just does not put out the volume for the herbicides and fungicides I spray at least at a reasonable walking speed. I bought the TJ-11004-VS tip 9.99$$ from Amazon. Marked out 10,000 sqft on the driveway and did 3 practice runs. 1st was too fast as I still had 1 quart left, 2nd and 3rd were spot on using one gallon over 1000 sqft taking 4 min 15 seconds to cover the area. It looks to spray a fan width about 2.5 feet wide as it took 4 passes to cover my 10 ft wide driveway. I didn't emulate your test by spraying directly into a container and there are a few variables that could account for the time difference to spray one gallon. This evaluation should help assure the correct amount of product is being applied. The original tip would be insufficient for most products. Thanks again for posting this.
Thank you for sharing this. You'll find the more time you get with the nozzle, the more comfortable/accurate you will get. This comment has been insightful and I'm sure others will also appreciate you sharing your experience. Thank you!
Thanks so much for this. I am new to lawn care and am about to apply Prodiamine with my HF backpack sprayer, but was curious if other nozzles would work with it, specifically TeeJet.

Yep, definitely have to consider the time to complete the task. Just keep in mind that the higher the flow rate the more frequent pumping required to maintain adequate and consistent pressure.
You're welcome. Yes, the HF tip is much slower, comparatively. I suppose it would be good for spot treatments but would take a while to apply a broadcast spray unless applying a high concentration (more active ingredient to less water).
Hi Don. I appreciate your comment and the feedback. Though I can't illustrate the different spray patterns in a reply to your comment, I can run a quick test to determine flow rates if that would be helpful. I can then post them in a reply to this comment. Is that the kind of information you're seeking or are you more interested in the spray patterns? Let me know!
Hi Wayne. When you say 3 way speed nozzle are you describing one that adjusts from stream to cone to fan pattern? If so, you can visit thefountainheadgroup.com and go to the replacement parts section. There are some nozzle options there but I don't know if the threads are the same as those on the HF sprayer wand.
I'm pretty sure the Husqvarna 2 gallon pump sprayer from Lowes is compatible with teejet. I say this because I have the replacement wand from Husqvarna that they sell and it takes teejet. The Field King battery powered unit accepts teejet nozzles also.
Great video! Thanks. I'm not having luck with the Teejet sprayer. When I replace the default nozzle with the Teejet nozzle, I get a more pressure on only one side of the nozzle. It's most likely due to the way I'm tightening the cap that holds the nozzle, maybe. I've tried playing around with the tightness of the cap with different results. Did you experience anything like that or do you have any advice on that?
Hi Suhas. I did not experience this issue. I used the cap and rubber washer that came with the Harbor Freight sprayer and just inserted the TeeJet nozzle. Have you checked to make sure there is not a piece of debris in the nozzle hole?
I love your videos. You and I are very alike when it come to doing things. The way TeeJet nozzles are sized is: The last 2 number represent the gpm @ 40psi. The numbers before, mostly 2 or 3, represent the angle of the spray. That series come in both 110* and 80*. So you have a 11004; 110* angle, .4gpm. If you tried 11003VS I would think it would be more to your liking. www.teejet.com/CMSImages/TEEJET/documents/catalogs/broadcast_nozzles.pdf
Steve, I really appreciate this comment. Thank you! I knew how the 110* and 80* was reflected in the nozzle numbers but didnt know about the flow rate at 40 psi correlation. Makes total sense after revisiting the nozzle specs. This was very insightful and I'm sure others will learn from it as well.
@@BlackHoleDIY glad to contribute. Again, I really like your videos. If you want to order a specific TeeJet nozzle I have a very good scorce. TeeJet also carries an exceptional line of spray wands.
Super helpful video! I’m excited to see the TeeJet nozzle just pops right in there!
Thanks, Rick! I was, too.

Doing the math it would take me over an hour to do my lawn, way too long. Looking for a higher flow nozzle. Good to know these fit. Thanks.

Is there one of those 3 way speed nozzles that might fit

Thanx I'll try that
Does this nozzles work with HF 2 gallon sprayer?
Hi Wiseman. This is a good question. I don't know for sure, but I believe the 2 gallon has a different nozzle setup than the 4 gallon.
@@BlackHoleDIY i have a back issue and can't lift 4 gallon. I'm looking for a 2 gallon one's that are compatible with teejet
I'm pretty sure the Husqvarna 2 gallon pump sprayer from Lowes is compatible with teejet. I say this because I have the replacement wand from Husqvarna that they sell and it takes teejet. The Field King battery powered unit accepts teejet nozzles also.
@@BlackHoleDIY any other sprayers that are economical that can use teejet nozzles?
I haven't come across any of the less expensive ones that do, but that doesn't mean they're not out there. Sorry I can't be of more help.
The wand is too weak. I don't see where find replacement.
Great video! Thanks.
