"Pistol Grip" Jug Rinser

"Pistol Grip" Jug Rinser SPRAYING Accessories 26-2-27 Rinsing out chemical jugs is an easy job for Rusty Clark, Williamston, N.C., who built a "pistol grip" rinser that hooks up to a standard garden hose. The unit consists of a water hose pistol with two lengths of 1/4-in. aluminum pipe attached to it in the shape of an "L". One pipe section is 12 in. long and the other 8 in. The sections are connected by a brass elbow fitting. A brass nozzle mounts at the end of the 8-in. pipe section. Clark turns the chemical container upside down and inserts the nozzle up into the fill opening, and then squeezes the trigger. "It's easy to use and sure beats having to triple rinse by hand. It also eliminates the need to punch a hole in the jug, so if I want I can use the jug more than once," says Clark. "I use it to rinse out 2 1/2-gal. jugs, but the nozzle is small enough that it will easily fit into a 1-gal. jug. By using longer lengths of pipe it could also be used on 5-gal. jugs." He says he's willing to sell the rinsers for about $40 plus S&H. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Rusty Clark, 13382 U.S. Hwy. 64, Williamston, N.C. 27892 (ph 252 792-5609).
