Border Magic Custom Sprayers

For all our Border Magic friends:
Thank you and welcome to P.D.S. After much feedback and testing by several of you, we now have a sprayer designed for your application of sealer on the finished product. I wish to personally thank David Posey & Chris Volkamer for all their positive feedback and help in creating a sprayer that handles you needs quite well.
The new Part Numbers are 5GTS-BM and 3GTS-BM. the numbers stand for our 5 gallon and 3 gallon sprayers. Each sprayer comes with a straight polyurethane hose with a brass swivel and trigger valve, along with a 22 inch long metal extension wand. The nozzles took the most work to find the right pattern and volume to produce the expect results and keep the high cost of sealer to a minimum.
The recommended nozzle is a FT-9502 which comes standard on the new build, but we normally add two more nozzles, a FT-8002 and a FT-6502. When purchasing nozzles on order to understand the numbering, the first two numbers is how wide the pattern is, so a 95 is 95 degrees wide and the second number relates to the volume of sealer being applied. This allows you to make changes that different brands of sealer need to perform correctly. You may have a fairly viscous, (thick), sealer or one that is not as viscous. In some states there is a need for sealers that have no VOC'S, (volatile organic compounds), a know health hazard, and thus regulated to differing degrees, depending on local safety standards and enforcement.
All of our sprayers come standard with Viton O-rings and seals. We also carry the same O-rings in EDPM ( ethylene propylene diene monomer), which worked better with a non VOC sealer required in PA. Right behind each nozzle is a combination check valve/50 mesh strainer which eliminates dribble down from the extension wand keeping sealer from being wasted. As soon as you release the trigger the resulting drop in pressure causes the check valve to close. being right behind the nozzle you do not have the normal dribble that other sprayers do.
Extra seal kits are available, part# SK-1 and include 1 Viton O-ring for the lid, 1 spare safety relief valve with Viton O-ring, which is built into the tank lid and 1 air inlet valve (tire valve) with Viton Grommet.
We carry all items in stock and can usually ship either the same day or next. Normal shipping is UPS ground, coming out of Denver, CO. Feel free to call or respond to this post anytime. We are happy to assist you in creating a long lasting sprayer to meet your needs.

Regards;
