Berthoud/sprayer spare parts

[Devon lad]

This pipe has snapped on a section of our Berthoud sprayer.
Where is the best place to find a replacement?
Does it have to be a genuine part or is it possible to get a universal type threaded boom pipe?

How much does the berthoud dealer want? My local one used to have them in stock and just the simplicity would justify paying a slight premium.

I’ve no idea who my local dealer would be?

I don't think you can glue a sleeve over that type of pipe, as its not PVC. Agritrac Exeter may be worth a call.

Feels like fibreglass

Yes it is, and very brittle with age. Berthoud boom pipe is probably the best option. Check it's 50cm nozzle spacing, I bought some 30cm spacing by mistake once..

The only thing with the berthoud is that it will be metric thread and 20mm pipe (if I remember correctly) rather than the usual bsp of others, their nozzle bodies won’t fit a normal boom pipe

If you can’t find anyone locally then Murray at Spraytrac in North Yorkshire stocks them and would post them out 01423 322377
