VANPET All Metal Sprayer Wand,1/4" & 3/8" & 1/2" Brass Barbs Sprayer Wand Replacement, Built-in Shut Valve Stainless Steel & 2 Hose Clamps (29 Inches Sprayer Wand)

works great

Replacement for plastic. Works much better

This sprayer wand has been a great addition to our yard equipment. The all-metal construction feels sturdy and much more durable than the plastic sprayers we’ve used in the past. It was easy to install, and the included fittings made it simple to connect to our existing setup. The long wand is perfect for reaching flower beds, washing equipment, and spraying hard-to-reach areas without having to bend over or get too close. The shut-off valve works smoothly, and the spray pressure has been consistent with no leaks or issues. For the price, the quality is impressive, and it has held up well with regular use. If you’re looking for an affordable, heavy-duty replacement sprayer wand, this one is definitely worth considering.

Just installed and used this all-metal spray wand today. It performed very well. Only problem is an inadequate seal where the hose barb at the inlet screws into the valve body. This leaks under my pump pressure (80 to 90 psi). Some teflon tape on the threads helped, but still get intermittent fine spray out of this joint. Should have an O-ring seal, but there is no internal shoulder to seal against. Nonetheless, this is head and shoulders above the quality of other spray wands I have tried that are made from molded or injected plastic. Further experience reveals that the pipe between the spray valve body and the nozzle is a press-in fit with no restraint on either end other than a tight friction fit. Under my electric pump pressure of 80 to 90 psi, the pipe is gradually pushed out of the fitting and blows out of the valve body or the nozzle blows off the end. A quick field fix was accomplished by installing a hose clamp tightly on the pipe at each end and wrapping form wire around the pipe and the opposite end of the fitting into which the pipe is pressed. This restrains the pipe from moving out of the fittings after the loop form wire between the hose clamp and the fitting is twisted tight. The adjustable nozzle on the wand allows rapid adjustment of the spray pattern between close-up spot spaying and more distant targets, supporting accurate application of spray at various distances, even in a light breeze.

Nozzle was crappy and the wand leaked.
