Balcrank's semi-auto tips, available on many of Balcrank's metered and non-metered control handles for fluid dispensing devices, helps those technicians looking for a semi-auto function for their digital and mechanical meters. An auto open and push-to-close operation has been designed to meet the needs of technicians. The semi-auto tip may be manually opened by pulling forward on its shell or automatically if pressurized to 0-5 psi and closed by pushing the shell to the closed position.
