Fits John Deere 17mm Port Size. If you have factory installed John Deere High Flow or Stainless Steel Plumbing. You have a 17mm port size for the jumbo nozzle bodies. These 17mm express ends are the ones you need.
Conventional boom designs trap air in the boom causing a delay from the close signal to when spray actually stops. Pentair's Hypro Express nozzle body end caps include a passive feature that eliminates the trapped air by allowing the air to escape through the nozzle body. When the boom is completely filled with liquid, the nozzle body's diaphragm check valves (DCV) activation time is greatly improved by as much as 85%. The Express nozzle body end cap supports todays practice of Precision Agriculture by enabling standard nozzle bodies to have much quicker reaction times in response to GPS boom shut-off control signals, turning off spray quickly and decisively on overlaps, end rows, and boundary areas.

- Eliminates trapped air from the boom by allowing air to escape through the nozzle body, reducing nozzle turn-off time by 85%
- Eliminates dead-ends of pipe where chemical residue can build-up
- Cleanout port for easy boom flushing
- Creates a cleaner looking plumbing system by eliminating the need for an extra fitting at the end of the boom
Express End Cap Clean Out Best Practices
The Express end cap has proven itself over many acres to provide effective relief of trapped air in the boom that leads to reduced performance. The express end cap has also proven itself as a cleaner lower maintenance solution to traditional boom end caps or valves when used properly.
-Open any throttling valves to on the boom supply line for full flow
-Rinse boom section by section using 100psi of pressure
-Remove end cap plug or use clean out valve for inspection from time to time or after rinsing dry flowables.
