ACCESSORIES 
 

The following accessories are available for use with the 

SA15. 

 
 

Constant Flow Valve (CFV) 

 

The  CFV  attachment  provides  constant  pressure  regulation  by  limiting  the  output 
pressure if pumping is excessive and shutting off the liquid flow if pressure is too low. 
This  ensures  a  constant  flow  of  spray  solution  and  a  predictable  spray  pattern  and 
droplet  spectrum.  This  helps  prevent  under  and  over  doing  and  prevents  the 
production of over small droplets which lead to off-target spray drift. 
 
 
If  the  CFV  is  correctly  installed  (

see  'Fitting  The  CFV’) 

pumping  will  be  easier  as 

fewer  strokes  will  be  needed  to  maintain  pressure.  Pump  only  two  or  three  strokes 
before  opening  the  trigger  valve  to  commence  spraying.  One  or  two  pump  strokes 
every few steps will automatically maintain a constant flow at the correct pressure. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

GRP Lance

 

 

GRP Lance of 50 cm length

 

is provided as the standard spray lance. 

 

Spray shield (Optional accessories)

 

For use with the flat fan nozzle the spray shield helps minimize spray drift. 
 

70 Mesh Filter 8407M (Optional accessories)

 

For use with the Strainer 135mm (8407L). Finer filtration 70 mesh to filter out fine 
dirt.
