Bean Sprayer Issue

LJS30 · Feb 23, 2011

While spraying today I had a connection break close to the regulator valve. Well this connection broke enough that upon removal a small piece of the pipe is still left threaded inside the regulator valve. It's flush with no area for me to grab and turn it with any tool. I was thinking of getting a hack saw and making some notches in the remaining pipe and see if I can chisel it out. Is their any type of tool that can make this a LOT easier?

Had a similar event on my sprayer a couple of months ago--used a broken bolt extractor to remove remaining pipe. Good luck.

If there's room, you can saw almost down to the threads in 2 places.....180 degrees apart and insert a home-made "blade" (think dagger) to twist it out.

There are a variety of pipe extractors. I have the kind at the link.
Gunk brand broken pipe nipple extractor.

Thanks for the input. I used a bolt extractor and a ton of liquid wrench to get it out fairly easily.

My next question is how long can I have that roundup in my tank? I was always told and have read that you should never use these tanks for storing chemicals for any length of time. However here's my dilemma. I have about seventy gallons of mix still left in the tank, a huge storm has hit my region, and due to work I won't be able to spray until next weekend. Would keeping that mix in the tank until next weekend cause any corrosion or clogging of my filters?
