Christopher 102 Report post Posted May 22, 2006 These guys have just about anything you need. If it is not on their website just ask them because they probably have it or can get it and they send it to you fast. http://www.pressuretek.com/ http://www.rowlettpressure.com/ http://1800333wash.com/parts_acc.asp I have ordered from these guys many times and have never had a problem. I would highly recommend them anytime and they have excellent customer service. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dan Stapleton 14 Report post Posted May 22, 2006 Thanks guys. I use some of the above mentioned suppliers. I was talking more of a specialty supplier for stainless. There are plenty online, was trying to avoid weeding through them. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dan Stapleton 14 Report post Posted May 22, 2006 What are the advantages of SS over brass?Less corrosion, longer lasting. For example stainless couplers hold a lubricant longer and are smoother, easier to open and close. Stainless does'nt turn green from chlorine. Of course the more expensive one's are better. I use Hansen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sun Brite of Maryland 14 Report post Posted May 23, 2006 We carry quite a few of them but probably not a huge selection like you are looking for. We do carry Hansen's though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chappy 138 Report post Posted May 23, 2006 I havnt tried the hansens, but I heard they are very expensive. I have tried the cheaper stainless, $3-4 range, and havnt found they last long enough to justify the expense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've talked to suppliers that sell both and say that the guy's that order hansen don't order nearly as often. I lube mine with lithium grease lightly and they stay lubed a long time. I've heard the same thing about cheap stainless and have resisted the temptation to buy them. Bob at pressure tek or dultmeier sells hansen at the best prices I've found.

StainlessDeal 16 Report post Posted May 24, 2006 They seem reasonably priced (not cheap), and wear very well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
