We at PressureWasherProducts.com prefer to offer our customers a hose assembly that will not require maintenance as when hose clamps are used with hose barbs. Hose clamps loosen over time, rust and can become sharp. Because the inlet port of the pump is 1/2", the general rule of pump plumbing indicates that the inner diameter of the supply line should be twice the inner diameter of the port and will require a minimum of a 1" ID Hose. The 1" suction line should not collapse and should remain somewhat rigid but allow flexibility under pulsation. Never use garden hose fittings on the suction side of any pump as they allow air to siphon into your suction side of the pump.
Rex, our Pump Guru, invested the design of our PVC slotted chemical tank filter. The filter is composed entirely of PVC and will not rust or decompose or shatter into small pieces after constant submersion into a pressure washer's chemical tank or roof wash mix. The filter made be assembled to fit exactly into the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket, various drum sizes and tanks. It is assembled using PVC cleaner, a deburrer, and clear PVC cement. In order to prevent the filter from rising to the top of the tank, a length of PVC pipe can be used as a sleeve to slip over the connecting suction hose. The inner diameter of the PVC pipe should be slightly wider than the outside diameter of the suction hose. You may use a clean piece of 1 1/4" or 1 1/2" ID PVC scrap pipe to slip over the hose before it is connected to the 12 Volt pump. To figure out how long to cut the pipe, place the suction hose assembly with the uncut PVC pipe sleeve into your main chemical tank or drum and allow the filter to rest horizontally on the bottom. Mark and cut the sleeve so that it is just a bit higher than the opening of the tank. Use a heat gun to 'bell' the top end of the sleeve and a grinder or drum sander to soften the edges of the sleeve. If a tank filter (TF-5) is assembled to the width of a 5 gallon bucket, the user can remove the filter from the larger tank and place it in a bucket of degreaser to apply to a driveway or drive through, apply a diluted mix to a house or building wash or allow the operator to run 5 gallons of fresh water through the system to rinse all of the fittings and components of the soft wash chemical application system. Semi-permanent fittings on the low pressure side of a system attaching PVC to PVC should be assembled using non-drying liquid teflon or 'pipe dope'. TEFLON TAPE SHOULD NEVER BE USED. Teflon tape will dislodge, find it's way into interrupting the moving components of a pump. We have answered technical calls in the middle of the night in which the only problem found was a piece of teflon tape lodged next to diaphragm disallowing a seal, a valve to hang up by a little piece of white mystery or a clogged nozzle at your gun or in your surface cleaner spray bar tip.
It is best to use full port, PVC ball valves (BV12RBV or BV08RBV) or polypropylene full port ball valves rather than a spray gun and wand assembly. Your chemical applicator should be able to endure a little abuse. Many guys accidentally drop them off roofs or the hose pulls them off. The Udor polypropylene gun (U15.0003.13) can be rebuilt with the repair kit and takes about 7 minutes (U8711.07). The Udor poly gun offers a 1/2" fpt port on both the inlet and outlet. However, the wetted components of the valve are a stainless steel ball, spring and a few buna o-rings. These guns cut down on flow and distance and will corrode quickly even with proper maintenance and flushing. Full port, female pipe thread, PVC ball valves can be purchased at the local hardware store in schedule 40 PVC which is primarily white in color or in schedule 80 PVC which is most often dark grey. Sch 80 more durable and offers a more professional appearance. If spending the extra money on sch 80, try to find the ball valve with a viton seat or seal. For most low pressure pumps, a 3/4" FPT ball valve is best. The larger ID of 3/4" allows better flow and less restriction resulting in gained application distance. Look for a few PVC threaded reducing bushings (threaded inside AND outside) to install with liquid teflon into the outlet side of the ball valve. If you are lucky enough to locate a local supplier, buy extras of the ball valves and reducing bushings. Next, the 1/4" stainless steel male pipe thread socket (4629) will thread into the reducing bushing using pipe dope. The socket will allow the operator to pop in different quick connect nozzles for chemical application. Threaded 1/4 MEG Nozzles installed individually into 1/4" stainless steel female pipe thread plugs (4602) or PWP's nozzle holders are very convenient and last until they are lost. For example, if the operator is applying chemical to a roof and does not want to get up on the roof, he may use a 0040 (3626) nozzle which will spray a fire hose type spray pattern to the ridge of the house or building. If he wants to zero in on fascia or gutters, he can use a 0540 nozzle (SS0540). We have found that most soft wash roof washers use a maximum of three nozzles during an average job. Many users find that the stainless steel nozzle holders by PWP are invaluable. We offer the Dual Banger Nozzle Holder (NHDB), the Tri Banger Nozzle Holder (NHTB) and the Quad Banger Nozzle Holder (NHQB). Using this handy little nozzle holder will allow two to four nozzles to be located in one place with the ability to access and change to a different nozzle almost effortlessly compared to digging into a pocket with a wet hand full of chemical while balancing on a ladder or roof. The little blue things are nozzle un-clogger tools and are usually free if you ask for them with an order or sometimes arrive as FREEBIES packed in with your order(s). They are convenient to have on hand.
Soft-Wash Systems use different fittings available for various connections in a typical system. 1/2", 3/4" and 1" MPT and FPT polypropylene camlocks for use in low pressure applications allow for quick disconnect to add on hose or to transfer chemical. PWP offers special camlocks because they have small locks on each coupler which do not allow for accidental disconnects. Always minimize the number of connections in any system because they become potential sites for failure or leaks. Camlocks can be found before and after a pump to allow the pump to be removed and maintained. Camlocks may be installed before a hose reel without a stainless steel manifold to prevent chemical from circulating through the hose reel manifold or on the discharge side of the pump to be able to change out and add a short hose to use your 12 Volt Pump to transfer chemical from a drum in your garage to your chemical tank on your trailer.
PWP offers stainless steel quick connect fittings by General Pump in 1/2", 3/8" and 1/4". Although they are stainless steel, they will eventually rust. The General Pump brand of quick connects is a favorite among all of our customers. They report that they last longer than the cheap imports, marry up well, and rust out much more slowly. All of the QC's are female pipe thread. We do not recommend using the QC's anywhere but at the nozzle due leaking under lower pressures.
The hose reel can be mounted on a 1/4" aluminum custom fabricated base plate using the supplied stainless steel bolts, nuts and washers. It will offer a secure place for the pump away from direct heat and rain and keep it out of a pump coffin or otherwise known as a battery box. The base plate raises the reel above the standard 12" railing on open trailers and maximizes use of space. We can weld a custom switch guard for the 'on/off' toggle switch for your 12 Volt pump.
PWP offers a BRAND NEW PVC Hose Reel Swivel and....it can be rebuilt! Will not corrode!!! If ordered at the time of purchasing a new Titan Reel with a Stainless Steel manifold, it is only $20!
Titan reels have received a bad rap lately on the bbs. These reels are American made and are the premier choice among professionals in these related industries. These reels will last years and years if they are taken care of by rinsing them out after each use like you would need to rinse your pump. If chemical is left in the reel and pump, the life of both will be drastically shortened. Much like your smile; you only brush the ones you want to keep!
Banjo 3 Way Ball Valves with Stainless Steel Mounts can be used to pull from two tanks, transfer chemical or allow the operator to use another chemical such as a degreaser or housewash or gutter cleaner such as our Streak Lightening Gutter Streak Remover. One side can connect to a Roof Wash Tank and the other to Water for rinsing. The 3 Way Poly Ball Valve can be installed on the discharge side of the pump to allow the pump to be used as a transfer pump to transfer chemicals from the ground to the rig.
