1.2L Acid Resistant Pressure Sprayer

What it is for

Acid wheel and alloy brighteners, descalers, toilet and bathroom cleaners, flash rust removers, and acid washes for brick, tile and concrete. It suits dilute acids: phosphoric and citric acid up to 30%, and hydrochloric and sulphuric acid up to 10%. Stronger hydrochloric (10 to 25%), sulphuric (10 to 30%) and nitric acid (up to 10%) are conditional, so ask us to confirm before you fill.

It also takes ethanol and isopropyl alcohol up to 100%. It is not the sprayer for acetic acid or methanol: use the Klager 1.2L Alkaline Resistant with EPDM seals. For hydrofluoric acid, ask us. Check section 3 of the SDS, or look your chemical up in the Chemical Compatibility Guide, before you fill.

How to use it

Release any pressure, unscrew the head and fill to the scale mark, no higher than 1,200 mL, so there is air space left to hold the charge. Do not fill with liquid hotter than 30 degrees C. Refit the head by hand and pump around 30 strokes. The relief valve stops it being over pumped, and a few strokes during the job keep the pattern even. The 0.8 mm hollow cone nozzle gives a fine, even spray; the see through strip on the bottle shows how much is left.

After the job, release the pressure, decant leftover acid back into its container, rinse the bottle with clean water and pump some through the nozzle so the pump and tip come clean. Store it depressurised, out of heat and direct sun. Wear the gloves and eye protection the SDS calls for.

Keep it running

Every part is available as a genuine Klager spare. When it weeps or stops holding pressure, fit a VITON seal kit rather than a new sprayer. Add a colour coding cap so acid bottles never get mixed up with alkaline or solvent ones, and a 15, 30 or 50 cm extension lance to reach into wheel barrels and behind fixtures. The soft touch base ring keeps it standing and protects the surface it sits on.
