Description: The primary cause of difficulty, or per haps inconvenience, in removing or in stalling spray tips in a conventional nozzle installation is the high bearing load required to seal the metal tip against the metal nozzle body, particularly if the sealing surface of the body is imperfect. An easy solution is to substitute a resilient seat for the brass surface in a normal body. In the design developed by the author the seat consists of a rubber O-ring installed in an annular groove in the face of the modified nozzle body. Figure 1 shows an exploded view of the modified nozzle assembly. The necessity for another change be came apparent shortly after the modified nozzle body came into use. This additional change involved removal of the wrench flats from the nozzle caps. It quickly became obvious that when wrench flats were provided, people used a wrench or other available tool to tighten the cap nuts, thereby defeating the purpose of the exercise, which was to make the caps easily removable by hand. The removal of the flats eliminated this problem.
