| There isn't an -07 nozzle size, so you'd either want to use a 110-06 and be somewhat restricted on pressure (as it needs to be above 45PSI to ensure your duty cycle isn't too low).
Or you could go to an -08 size, but depending on what the application/chemical is, nozzles larger than an -08 get pretty coarse, pretty quickly.
With an -08 nozzle, you could spray anywhere from like 30-60PSI, focusing in on the pressure that is getting you the spray quality and results you want.
Depending on what sprayer you are using, your application *might* be a good candidate for dual nozzle spraying as well.
EDIT: Sometimes there is confusion in using double the size of the nozzle for the application you are wanting to do.
While a larger nozzle can still work, if you duty cycle is effectively too low (<50%) it isn't really ideal.
If you can maintain a duty cycle at your speed/rate/pressure, around 60-80%, it allows you flexibility to slow down for when you need it (e.g. corners) to have your turn compensation do the best it can.
For example:
12US GPA
14MPH max
Capstan PinPoint
20" nozzle spacing
110-06 size:
@60PSI, you'd be at roughly an 86% duty cycle at 14MPH. ( A little high, but not tooo crazy)
As you slow down (whether it be for a corner or obstacle), you'd be looking at something like 50% duty cycle (still at 60PSI) if you were turning a corner at 8.5MPH.
-This is a nice place to be, as you round the corner, you have 50% more volume you can spray out the furthest section, and still cut your rate down on the inside seciton that is slowing down (or going backward).
110-08 size:
@40PSI, you'd be at roughly an 80% duty cycle at 14MPH. ( no issues there)
As you slow down @ 8.5MPH, you'd be hitting that ~50% duty cycle.
All in all, still a good place to be, BUT it is often hard to find drift reduction nozzles that aren't too coarse in the 110-08 nozzle size.
