About Triggers

Pressure sprayer triggers are essential replacement components that control the flow and application of liquids in garden and professional spraying equipment. MyToolShed.co.uk stocks genuine trigger assemblies and complete handle units from leading manufacturers including Hozelock and Matabi, designed to restore full functionality to pressure sprayers when original triggers become worn, damaged or leak. These precision-engineered components ensure reliable operation and consistent spray patterns for gardening, pest control and general maintenance applications.

Whether you need a simple trigger replacement for a standard pressure sprayer or a complete handle assembly for specialist VITON models, MyToolShed offers compatible triggers for Hozelock Killaspray, Knapsack, Plus and Pro ranges, alongside Matabi pressure sprayer handles. Replacing a faulty trigger extends the life of your sprayer and maintains the precise control needed for accurate chemical application.

Applications

• Gardeners and landscapers – applying herbicides, pesticides and fertilisers
• Pest control professionals – accurate insecticide and treatment application
• Agricultural workers – crop spraying and livestock treatment
• Groundskeepers – maintaining sports fields, parks and public spaces
• DIY enthusiasts – garden maintenance and weed control
• Cleaning contractors – applying cleaning solutions and disinfectants
• Horticulturists – greenhouse and nursery spraying operations

Choosing The Right Triggers

Compatibility is paramount when selecting replacement triggers. Always verify your pressure sprayer's make and model before purchasing – Hozelock triggers are specifically designed for Standard, VITON, Killaspray, Knapsack, Plus or Pro models, whilst Matabi handles correspond to particular model numbers. Check the product specifications at MyToolShed.co.uk to ensure correct fitment.

Consider the chemical resistance required for your applications. VITON-compatible triggers offer superior resistance to aggressive chemicals and solvents, making them essential for professional pest control and industrial applications. Standard triggers suit general garden use with common herbicides and fertilisers.

Evaluate whether you need just the trigger mechanism or a complete handle assembly. Complete assemblies include the trigger, handle body and connection points, providing a comprehensive replacement solution when multiple components show wear. Simple trigger units suffice when only the trigger mechanism itself has failed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know which trigger fits my pressure sprayer?

Check the manufacturer's label on your pressure sprayer for the brand and model number. Match this information with the product compatibility details listed on each trigger assembly at MyToolShed.co.uk. Hozelock and Matabi triggers are model-specific and not interchangeable between brands.

Why is my sprayer trigger leaking?

Trigger leaks typically result from worn seals, damaged O-rings or cracked trigger bodies. Whilst some seals can be replaced individually, a complete trigger assembly replacement often provides better long-term reliability and value, particularly if the trigger mechanism shows signs of wear or reduced spring tension.

Can I repair a broken trigger or should I replace it?

For triggers with cracked housings, broken springs or worn pivot points, complete replacement is recommended. Genuine replacement triggers from manufacturers like Hozelock and Matabi ensure proper fit, chemical compatibility and reliable performance compared to attempting repairs with improvised parts.
