Hey guys,



I have a foam gun that I got from autogeek, it had a red trigger handle sprayer that attached to the hose, then to the foam canister part.. A. I hated the red trigger handle, and B. I`ve lost it during a move.



So I need something to connect from my hose to the canister, i`m hoping like a straight piece with a lil knob for on and off vise the pistol style handle.



Any help?

buy a shut-off valve and a set of quick disconnects (you`ll only need the one on the left as the other part is already connected to the foam gun) and you won`t need the trigger sprayer...

Yeah, I replaced the pistol-grip thing years ago and never looked back.



Different people are probably gonnna like different shutoffs, but I find some easier to work than others (on/off with one hand while wearing rubber gloves).



A shutoff with a nice wide (internal) opening will give you the best water flow, but if you have good pressure (like my boosted pressure), a squeeze-type shutoff like the one Griot`s sells Touch and Flow Valve - Cleaning Tools - Car Washing - Car Care - Griot`s Garage (http://www.griotsgarage.com/product/car+care/car+washing/car+cleaning+tools/touch+and+flow+valve.do) is really, really nice. But it doesn`t flow all that much water, so with normal/worse water pressure I don`t think it`d work too well.

Here is my post from back in the day. It should help. My system works great.
