Refer to the capacity chart for the desired tip in the Nozzles &
Tips section. |

|
|
Example:
Refer to the capacity chart for the RF tips. Look
at the column headed "capacity one nozzle (GPM)" and find .34
GPM at the pressure desired. |
|
Example:
Refer to the capacity chart for the RE tips. Look
at the column headed "capacity one nozzle (GPM)" and find .17
GPM at the pressure desired. |

The
RF 3, 4, or 5 would provide the correct flow at 50, 30, or 20 PSI
respectively. |
|
The
RE 80-2RE would be correct when used at 30 PSI and 5 mpg. |
