A hose and shut-off refill for compatible Smith backpacks
The Smith Performance Sprayers 182886 PVC Hose Poly Shut-Off Kit is made for compatible Smith NL400 and NL401 backpack sprayers. It gives the service shelf a named hose-and-control refill for sprayers that already have a clear role in the garden routine.
This kit is useful to store with nozzle pieces, pump-service packs, filter washers, and the sprayer’s model note. Keeping the pieces together makes the backpack sprayer easier to maintain through the season.
Plan a clean service area
Hose and shut-off work benefits from a clear bench. Empty the sprayer, release pressure according to the sprayer instructions, and keep a towel or tray nearby for small seals, fittings, and package notes.
After service, rinse the parts as directed by the sprayer and product labels. Let the hose and shut-off area dry before the sprayer returns to the wall hook or storage shelf.
