control water flow to the three nozzle kits. One bag filler connection kit is used in the water system.
i.
Hose and Nozzle Kits. The hose and nozzle kits consist of hoses, reducers, distribution nozzles and water
pressure regulators. The hand operated distribution nozzles are used to control water flow to the container.
Nozzle stands are provided to prevent dirt, sand and contamination from entering the distribution nozzles.
