RE: Nozzle with a full lifetime warranty---SH included

MJ · Jun 19, 2012

Just ordered mine, we will see how it works. Looks like something I would like to use around the house if I don't like the distance, I guess we could pop in the 0 if we need to.

I ordered 2 today. He has modified them so that you can not unscrew them all of the way.

Got one...nice nozzle...we use it for plant watering...don't really get much more distance out of it for shooting roof mix than out nozzles. Does seem to have a little more power than the fireman's nozzle we use but distance is about the same.

Gary, any update on the hastelloy version?

You are mistaken again David. I contacted him first when I ran across the nozzle during a search and asked about the warranty usuing SH. I bought one and I love it, just like the others that have bought 1, or 2.

Barry has them priced out, but hastelloy is very expensive and hard to machine. He said they would be + or - around $150.00. He gives a lifetime warranty on the stainless, so why worry about hastelloy? If it breaks, send it back for replacement.

Buy one, you'll love it.

I heard the Life Time Warranty is only for you.

No, the lifetime warranty is for all RCIA members. Thats why it is necessary to let Barry know you are a member. Lifetime warranty and viton o-rings for RCIA only.

I love it also, Gary. Just wish it shot further with the Fatboy.

David;

Your fatboy may be getting tired. Mine, the first yhear would shoot over 43'. The second year it dropped to about 35'. Start of this year it was down to around 20'. Nothing changed, it just got tired. My new air system just keeps getting better and bolder. With this nozzle and 120 psi of air, we're right at 70'.

70'...that is impressive Gary. What type of air system and compressore are you using?

garyw · Jul 5, 2012

Marcus;

I've got a video on here somewhere showing the system running. I'll try and find it and post a link. It was shooting 58' back then with a regular hose nozzle and 100 psi of air., With 120 psi and the new nozzle, it GREW.

Gary he said he can't warranty against SH at this time, but is warranting yours only as a test.

garyw · Jul 16, 2012

I'll check with Barry about getting that changed. I really thought he was giving all RCIA members the .warranty. confuse confuse disbelief

ill stick to the 5 dollar ballvalves and spray nozzles. 1 ball valve lasts all year.

John Burdine · Jul 20, 2012

I got mine and I love how it works. the cone is really nice and I love being able to do a half twist from off to full stream. It shoots better than my jrod and offers more control. HOWEVER, it does have some rust after doing 3 ROOFS ON THE FIRST DAY. There is no way I see this tool lasting long. So afterwards I rinsed it out with PM for bleach from powerwash.com and oiled it. We'll see how it goes. On the packing slip it said it is not warranteed for chemical use and yes I mentioned RCIA and got the viton seals.
