Embodiments of the disclosure provide an adapter valve assembly and a method for installing an adapter valve assembly that allows for independent control of fluid flow at an individual nozzle assembly. The adapter valve assembly can include a ball valve that can be actuated by electricity to change its position. The adapter valve assembly can function independent of the pressure or flow within the system and can be actuated as desired by the user. The adapter valve assembly can also have internal threads which can connect with the existing external threads on nozzle assemblies already installed in the field. Therefore, the adapter valve assembly can be used for retrofit applications.

Adapter valve assembly

Embodiments of the invention provide a removable clamp for coupling an adaptor to a pipe delivering a solution, the removable clamp having a button in order to maintain an angular relationship between the adapter and the pipe. Other embodiments of the invention provide a fluid delivery system having clamps with buttons coupling a tee adaptor to sections of a boom in order to maintain an angular relationship between the sections of the boom.

Air aspiration device

Embodiments of the invention provide an air aspiration device to release trapped air in a pipe containing a solution that is to be delivered to a nozzle body. The air aspiration device can include an air port in fluid communication with the air and the solution, an exit port, and a passageway in fluid communication with the air port and the exit port. The air aspiration device can also include a main body and a female pipe fitting forming an end cap for one end of the pipe.
