5. Applicator pipe<br />
The spray requirements specify a uniform<br />
solid-cone mist with a minimum horizontal<br />
range of 12 feet. The flow rate at a tip<br />
pressure of 100 psi must be within the<br />
range shown in the following table:<br />
An applicator pipe, or wand, is available for<br />
reaching under logs, roots, stumps, and into<br />
the base of piled fuels. It can be used in deep<br />
duff, peat, and sawdust. The applicator is 52<br />
inches long, comes apart in the middle, and<br />
has a 15-degree bend near the end. All<br />
connections are w-inch GHT male threads to<br />
accommodate a special low-flow spray tip (3<br />
gal/min with a 60 degree pattern). It is also a<br />
component of the Mop-up Kit.<br />
