Selecting a Nozzle-Tip Filter
(Optional)
Note:
The use the optional nozzle-tip filter to protect
the spray-nozzle tip and increase its service life.
Use the nozzle-tip filter table to identify the screen
mesh for the spray nozzles you are using based
on chemicals products or solutions with a viscosity
equivalent to water.

*The mesh size of the nozzle filters in this table
are based on spray chemicals or solutions with the
viscosity equivalent to water.
Important:
When you spray with higher viscosity
(thicker) chemical products or solutions with
wettable powders, you may need to use a coarser
screen mesh for the optional tip-filter; refer to
Figure
28.
