TURBO TURFJET TIPS
This is a wide-angle (110°), hollow-cone, drift-reduction nozzle. Replaces conventional flooding nozzles in broadcast
applications.
FEATURES:
• Color-coding makes it easy to match nozzle flow rates for easy identification.
• Color-coding is available in sizes

•
Uniform spray distribution.
• A large orifice opening and passages minimize clogging.
• The Turbo TurfJet nozzle’s patented design element, a secondary swirl chamber in the nozzle cap, alters the swirl -
ing action of the liquid so that the fewer driftable lines are discharged from the secondary orifice.
• Spraying Pressure 25-75 PSI (1.5-5 bar).
NOZZLE TILT
Delavan’s extensive research on spray patterns has proven that a tilt of about 45° for flood Nozzles or tips will significantly
improve the spray pattern uniformity.
The nozzle tilt reduces the effect of boom height variation and allows the spray nozzle to maintain a more fully developed
pattern even when the nozzle outlet is below the recommended height for the best spray pattern uniformity.
RECOMMENDED OVERLAP AND NOZZLE HEIGHT
Adjust spray height in the field to overlap a minimum of 30% of each edge of pattern. Adjust nozzle height until this is
achieved. If a decision to tilt the nozzle is made, do it before measuring the width of the spray on the ground and adjusting
nozzle height. See example below.

XR TEEJET TIPS
This is an extended range flat spray tip. It is excellent for Contact Pesticides and Growth Regulators and good for System -
ic Pesticides.
Contact Pesticides and Growth Regulators - At medium pressures (20-30 psi) provides medium size droplets for good
surface coverage and less drift. At higher pressures (30-60 psi) produces smaller droplets for better coverage. Wide angle
110° tips produce slightly smaller droplets than 80° tips at equal pressures.
Systemic Pesticides - At lower pressures (15-20 psi) produces larger spray droplets and reduces drift while still providing
uniform coverage along the boom.
FEATURES:
•
Excellent spray distribution over a wide range of pressures (15-60 psi).
• Ideal for rigs equipped with sprayer controllers.
• Reduces drift at lower pressures, better coverage at higher pressures.
• Available in stainless steel and hardened stainless steel in 80° and 110° tip spray angles with VisiFlo color coding.
RECOMMENDED OVERLAP
Adjust nozzle spray height to overlap 30% of each edge of pattern.
NOZZLE HEIGHT
Suggested spray nozzle height with 20" spacing, tip spray angle of 80° should be 17-19", tip spray angle of 110° should
be 12-14".
