Four types of low-volume nozzle fittings: Upper left -Not recommended because the joint is weak and likely to leak. Upper right—That most generally used, consisting of a ¼in. brass socket bronzed to the boom. Lower left-The inverted U-tube type, which prevents nozzle drip. Lower right—The side-arm fitting, which tends to allow sediment to settle in the bottom of the boom, thus preventing blockage of the nozzle.
