Mike 64 Report post Posted January 1, 2005 This wand was found with some high pressure line in a garage that was cleaned out and given to myself. Does anyone recognize it and might be able to tell me what it is? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
One Tough Pressure 580 Report post Posted January 1, 2005 Looks like one that would come with a lower end homeowner machine, or home use steam cleaner. Note the Euro connect between the gun and lance. While they make those for higher presuures, they are many times found on smaller units as well. If there is no marking on the gun or wand that say how much pressure it can take, then I say do not use it, as it may just blow apart in your hand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beth n Rod 1,279 Report post Posted January 1, 2005 You might be able to use that to apply chems or sealer (lower PSI)....I'm not sure I would pitch it. Worth testing with water if you have a shurflo set up. Beth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beth n Rod 1,279 Report post Posted January 1, 2005 Looks like a Karcher KEW style gun. I agree its designed for hot and/or steam applications. Rod~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike 64 Report post Posted January 1, 2005 Ok, I found a few markings on the gun. I could not find a name, but I did find this... Max 170 Bar Max 140 degrees C Max 16L min I also found out a little more history on the mystery wand, it was used commerically. Connected to the wand was a pretty thick heavy duty pressure line.

Jon 533 Report post Posted January 1, 2005 Metric markings so should be easy to convert. Max 170 Bar no idea what this stands for. Max 140 degrees C convert to F and there would be be max temp. Max 16L min convert to pounds and that would be max PSI. I could be wrong since I don't know metric. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike 64 Report post Posted January 1, 2005 Yeah I am not up to par on metric either. Why is everyone in the world on the metric system but us for anyways? :confused: I'm thinking it's a pretty heavy duty wand, but could be wrong. Thanks to anyone who can help.

Bart 14 Report post Posted January 1, 2005 170 bar = 2500 psi 16L = 4.22 gpm 140 degrees C = 284 degrees F Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike 64 Report post Posted January 3, 2005 So I guess it's used for steaming. Dont think I have a need for it then. Does anyone out there use something like this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
One Tough Pressure 580 Report post Posted January 3, 2005 You can use it for a chem gun on a shurflo/FloJet setup, or adapt it to a pump up instead of using the cheap wands that they come with. It has a use, just not on a standard 3000 psi machine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
