You might be able to cut the nozzle off ... then redrill and the tap the centre to your required size.

My brother is going to go Spare!
When I asked how to empty a dry powder extuinguisher it was suggested that I simply point it away from my face and squeeze the handle. It was not mentioned that it should only be done outside!
The inside of our garage is now a uniform white colour!

P.S. Thanks Woody, that's just what I wanted to know. _________________ Get Some!!!

I think you just put your name on the "Not allowed to use a fire extinguisher at events" list _________________ https://www.halfdonethings.com/

I tried a Richdel and it would not turn off properly with air. They are great valves for their purpose, which is water. I have used them at work for years.
I tested a Richdel 2400 with air by pressurizing the in port and putting the out port under water. There was a constant stream of bubbles. _________________ So even the rain that falls isn't actually going to fill our dams and our river systems
