To begin, be sure that your intended container and sprayer have a compatible neck finish; for example, 28-400 containers should be paired with 28-400 trigger sprayers. The first number in a neck finish refers to the diameter in millimeters and the second number refers to the thread style. Each thread style has a corresponding number of turns; 400, for example, represents 1 thread turn. Neck finishes must match or your closure won’t fit the container properly, causing spills or leaks.
The most common neck finish for trigger sprayers is 28mm; however, manufacturers typically offer triggers sprayers from 20mm to 38mm as well as custom sizes. Mist sprayer pumps are typically available in smaller sizes such as 20mm because they are often paired with smaller volume bottles.
As the neck finish is one of the most important factors in selecting the best trigger sprayer for your application, find this detail in the title of all our sprayers and bottles.

The length of your sprayer’s dip tube is essential for proper closure and product dispensing. Too long and it will bend too far in the bottle, too short and it won’t be able to reach product at the bottom.
To find the length of a dip tube, measure from the gasket, which is located inside the cap, to the notch end of the tube. This is the usable length of your dip tube and varies from the total length as well as the length from the bottom on the cap to the end of the dip tube.
When calculating the best dip tube length for your application, you should consider the diameter and material of the tube itself and the product you are dispensing. Thinner dip tubes that typically accompany sprayers should slightly bend toward the wall of your container to maximize product dispensing. If you are using a sprayer, add about one inch to the height of the bottle. This will give enough length to properly bend inside the container without inhibiting dispensing.
If you are using a pump to dispense thicker or high viscosity products like lotion or condiments, the rigid dip tube should sit directly in the product with a small space between the tube and the bottom of the container. The tube should not touch the bottom of the container, but it should also not sit too high as it will not be able to pump product at the bottom. Sprayer dip tubes typically should not hover above the bottom of the container as they are not made to dispense thicker products.
Tube cutting ensures that the dip tube does not sit flush to the bottom of the container, which causes blockage and prevents pumping. Dip tubes are often cut at an angle so they cannot sit flush to the container. While sprayer dip tubes do need to be longer than the container, the notch end of the dip tube should not sit flush to the container. An angular or v-shaped cut prevents this from happening.
It is also important to note if the container you are using features a “push up” at the bottom, meaning the bottom is raised. If there is a push up, subtract about 3/32” from the container length you previously measured to compensate. This step ensures proper flow through the dip tube.
The sprayer you pick depends on the product you would like to dispense as well as how you would like to dispense it. Trigger sprayers are ideal for a wide variety of products including water, cleaning solutions, gardening chemicals, room sprayers, spritzers, and thinner body and hair care products. They are designed to dispense a greater amount of product over a larger surface area. Variances in trigger sprayers are largely cosmetic with different body shapes and colors.
However, many of our models have different features including varying dosages and nozzles. Some nozzles include a turn mechanism to allow for different spray patterns as well as a locking feature. Various colors allow for color-coding for easy identification of different products within your product line.
Spray is a traditional spray pattern where the product is dispensed in a conical shape from the nozzle.
Stream sprays are focused from a direct point, dispensing product with few droplets. This spray pattern is ideal for products that require high concentration of product in a smaller location.
Mist spray patterns tend to feature many small droplets and are ideal for products that require small dosages.
Foam delivers product in the form of foam rather than a conventional spray pattern.
Continuous spray patterns are unbroken rather than the standard burst dispensing of many traditional sprayers.

Dosage, or the amount of product dispensed with a single spray, is also important to consider when picking a sprayer. Dosages typically range from 0.22 ml to 1.5 ml. Higher dosages are recommended for products which require a larger spread (the surface area covered by the product being dispensed).
If you are looking to dispense products that require precision and gentle spraying like fragrance, hair products, sunscreen or oral care, our mist sprayers are the perfect choice. In addition to standard trigger sprayers, we also carry fine mist trigger sprayers for applications that require more precision. Fine mist trigger sprayers offer the precision of a traditional mist sprayer pump with the control of a trigger handle.
Standard trigger sprayers, also known as general use trigger sprayers, are one of the most popular options for common surface cleaners, hair gels, fabric fresheners, etc. Standard trigger sprayers typically feature a functional design suited for a variety of applications. Most general use designs include an adjustable nozzle to vary the spray.
High output triggers sprayers are characterized by a larger dosage per spray than standard or general use trigger sprayers. Often these closures can dispense 3.5 ml of liquid per squeeze compared to the more traditional output of anywhere from 0.22 ml to 1.5 ml. Common applications of high output trigger sprayers include some degreasers, detailing products in the automotive industry, insect control products and more.
Chemical and acid resistant trigger sprayers feature component parts with a higher degree of chemical resistance than traditional sprayers or misters. Harsh chemicals can eat away or negatively affect the materials used to make the closure. Replacing parts such as the gasket or dip tube with materials with a higher degree of chemical resistance, chemical resistant trigger sprayers are often suitable for dispensing harsh chemicals, household cleaners, carpet spot cleaners, etc.
Foaming trigger sprayers feature a unique design that dispenses a foam rather than a conventional spray pattern. Foaming sprays are useful for products where controlling the liquid on the surface is essential as well as for product that needs to sit on a surface for an extended period of time. Common applications include all-purpose cleaners, upholstery cleaners and carpet cleaners.
Shipper trigger sprayers are designed to be applied to the filled bottle prior to shipping. Often similar to general use trigger sprayers, these closures excel at preventing spilling or leaking that could result in product loss during transit.
Upside down trigger sprayers work well when the bottle is not held at an upright angle, even when the entire bottle is tilted completely upside down. This is often accomplished with a unique dip tube that can capture product either through a weighted end or secondary opening. Upside down trigger sprayers are ideal for cleaners or similar products where a user might need to adjust the angle of the bottle to reach the area they want to access.
Mist trigger sprayers still have the traditional trigger similar to a conventional trigger sprayer, but dispense a fine, light spray pattern to prevent soaking the desired spray location with too much product. Mist trigger sprayers work well for spray hand sanitizers, fabric fresheners, many hair products and more. Some mist trigger sprayers feature an adjustable nozzle. Mist trigger sprayers are more ergonomic that mist sprayer pumps and work well for products that may need more than a few sprays in one application.
About two years ago I was looking for a better spray bottle to use for my chemicals. I got tired of using cheaper flimsy plastic bottles and stumbled upon the Ik Multi Trigger Sprayer.
Immediately, when you hold the bottle you can feel how thick the plastic is and how it is resistant to breaking. When you have products like wheel cleaners, sealants, acid based products, you don’t want a bottle breaking and potentially ruining something in or on the outside of a car, so the thickness and weight of this bottle is a nice change from cheaper, thinner bottles I have used. The weight distribution is in a way that if left on a table or the floor it would be difficult to topple over due to the shape of the bottle and base. It also has a measuring scale on the side of the bottle so you can measure out your ratios of chemicals to water (ie 1:10, 1:5). It comes with a laminated card that is two sided (green and red), which allows you to mark each bottle for easy identification and to reduce the risk of spraying the incorrect chemical onto the surface you are working on. The sprayers can also be ordered in either black or white, which is a nice touch.
As a detailer, outside of our towels, the tools we use to apply our chemicals are the most important things in our collection. I personally have the exterior chemicals written on the red side (wheel cleaners, iron removers) and interior chemicals on the green side (all purpose cleaner, glass cleaner). Color coding and labeling makes your life so much easier and the different tags on these bottles makes my life easier when I am moving fast during a detail. Also, the triggers can be changed out as well so you can get even more creative with organizing. I have had these 4 bottles longer than any other spray bottles I have used in the past and I use them day in and day out. So far over a year later and they are still in great shape! This is the only sprayer I have found that comes so well thought out and it really helps you stay organized and efficient. The ones I have now have already outlasted any sprayers I have had in the past five years, so I can not recommend these bottles enough!
