Curb Appeal 14 Report post Posted September 4, 2007 Hey all, I just got my dual turbo lance for a curbing job starting tomorrow. After unpacking it, I noticed that the turbo nozzles are size 2.0 (4.0 together). I use 6.0 nozzles on my 22hp/5.6gpm/3500psi machine. I know all about bigger nozzles = lower pressure but I have no idea what this smaller nozzle size will do to my setup. What do I need to do to be able to use this lance? The job starts tomorrow and I don't have time to send the lance back for a replacement. Thanks, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Curb Appeal 14 Report post Posted September 4, 2007 Called the Northern Tool back today. They are sending another one out next day air. Their computers list the lance as having 2 3.0 nozzles but they sent me one with 2.0 nozzles. He said that it SHOULD have the 3.0 nozzles on it. Having said that, the new one may not be right again so my question still stands. Thanks, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doug T 19 Report post Posted September 5, 2007 I think if your machine is set up correctly it will work, your pressure will be high and then the unloader will kick in and bypass some water. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Curb Appeal 14 Report post Posted September 6, 2007 Replacement showed up today. 2.0 nozzles again. Teach me to buy from Northern Tool... Got another one coming from somewhere else... Doug, sounds right. I guess my gpm would be down to about 3.6 or so. Not acceptable for a $200 part... Thanks all, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
One Tough Pressure 580 Report post Posted September 6, 2007 That only works for a pressure trap unloader, so if he has a flow type, he will get cycling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Curb Appeal 14 Report post Posted September 7, 2007 Off to work so I'll make it short. Got the right size nozzles and WOW! Most of this job is wand work: curbs, brick retaining walls, stairs, brick buildings... This thing cut my wand time in half! And I don't get near as much splashback when I'm doing corners. I love this tool. One of the best "bang-for-the-buck" items I've come across in a while. Thanks for the help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
