Looking at the way the post threaded onto the green piece in the recent pic, I recommend using the original build with rhe A176 adapter...

Ah crap. No longer available. I knew I should have picked one up when they were in stock 1-2 months ago.The sprayer is from Home Depot. If you click the "Pick Up in Store" button it will show you locations around you that have stock:

Anyone know somewhere else in Canada to get this?

Thanks! I've been to a couple and without the SKU, it's hard to find/hard to have them help me. It was listed on their Canadian website a month or so ago... I just forgot to print out the sheet to take with it with the product name/number so that they could look it up in their computers.
Anyone have the Home Depot Canada SKU?

Thanks - Makes sense. I'll throw the QD in the car and bring the kids shopping.

I contacted Flo-Master and here is their response...The inner pump tube of the Flo-Master has some sort of lubricant in it. Shouldn't this thing be thoroughly cleaned before running it through our beer lines?
I contacted Flo-Master and here is their response...
"We are just a distributor so we do not know what they use to lubricate. Our suggestion for lubrication is petroleum jelly , or any non-soluble grease . These sprayers are not FDA approved."
I think I'm going to clean off their lubricant just to be safe and if a lubricant is needed to pump, I'll use a little bit of vegetable oil.
Another question is if the container is food grade? I doubt it. Some info on HDPE#2:
Buckets that are not food grade will out-gas and leach into the container, and whatever is in the container.
HDPE #2 buckets that are not food grade will have been manufactured with a non-food-grade mold release agent.
A mold release agent is what is used to help get the newly shaped plastic off of the hard mold that it was shaped from during the manufacturing process. Without the release agent, the new plastic shape will likely stick to the mold. Some mold release agents enable much faster production than others, but may be toxic to your health if later used with food stuffs.
If the bucket is marked specifically as food grade or USDA approved (or FDA or NSF approved), then it is food grade. Otherwise contact the supplier or manufacturer to confirm.
Remember these are made for applying stains, pesticides, fertilizers etc. If this scares you, you will have to buy one of the pre-made units for $$$$
How do people clean the sprayer before first use? It smells like chemical fertilizers. Bleach, PBW, oxyclean, Starsan?
The 3/8 JIC 37 degree flare fits the firestone ball lock gas post as well as firestone pin lock posts. It has the 9/16-18 threads. I got an adapter from Mcmaster that works. Part #50675K174.Does anyone know what size flare fitting fits on the firestone gas post? Thanks
