Abstract

A fluid applicator assembly includes a frame that receives a fluid supply assembly. The frame is generally U-shaped, including a base that has first and second arms extending from free ends thereof. The base receives a bulkhead fitting through which pressurized fluid is supplied to the fluid supply assembly and to which an elongated handle may be secured. Each of the arms has an elongated slot formed therein. The fluid supply assembly includes a T-shaped connector, a pair of flexible tubes, a pair of L-shaped connectors, and a rigid fluid distribution tube or manifold. The T-shaped connector is received in the bulkhead connector and is connected to a first end of the flexible tubes so as to direct pressurized fluid into each of the flexible tubes. The opposite or second end of each of the flexible tubes is connected to a barbed end of one of the L-shaped connectors. A threaded or opposite end of the L-shaped connectors extends through a split washer, the elongated slot in the frame, and is sealingly threaded into an associated end of the rigid fluid distribution tube. The fluid distribution tube receives pressurized fluid from the flexible tubes and directs same to outlets formed through an outer surface thereof.
