Solo Shut-Off Valve

A spray wand without shut-off control makes every stop a mess. This replacement valve brings back positive lock-on and lock-off control on compatible Solo manual sprayers, so you can start and stop the spray at the wand exactly when you need to.

It attaches with a hose barb, a screw cap and an O-ring. When the old valve starts to leak or stick, a quick swap gets the sprayer back to full control between passes, at a gate or at the end of a row.

Highlights

• Positive lock-on and lock-off control
• Replacement for compatible Solo manual sprayers
• Attaches with hose barb, screw cap and O-ring
• Keeps spray where you aim it between passes
• Quick swap to get the sprayer working again

Why a working shut-off matters

The valve is where you control the spray, and a sticking or leaking valve costs you product and patience. A working shut-off lets you stop the flow around a fence post, a gate or a tree and start again without wasting a pass.

It suits the owner of a compatible Solo manual sprayer who wants full control back, the homeowner who sprays the yard, garden and fence line, and anyone who keeps a manual Solo sprayer on the shelf for the next job. Check your model first, since a few Solo models are not compatible with this valve.

How to use it

1. Check that your sprayer model is compatible. One-hand sprayers, 400-1G, 405-N and 405-B are not.
2. Empty the tank and relieve pressure before you start the swap.
3. Attach the valve to the wand and sprayer with the hose barb, screw cap and O-ring, and turn the cap down snug.
4. Test with clean water. Open, close and lock the valve in each position, and check for drips before you spray any chemical.

Good to know

• Rinse the sprayer with clean water after each use so the valve doesn't clog with residue.
• Replace the O-ring if it looks flat, cracked or worn.
• Store the sprayer empty and drained, so the valve doesn't sit wet between seasons.
• Pair it with a spray wand or nozzle from the same aisle when another part wears out.
