Thanks for the suggestion on the soap nozzle for final rinse! My habit for years was to take nozzle off garden hose and run it “open” to sheet the water off paint for easier/faster drying with blower, but I recently got a DI system and I’ve been seeking a low flow comparable, since otherwise that’d be like 8gpm through the DI lol

You're Welcome! The nozzle tips other brands have are so expensive it about time affordable ones come out. I have been using the black detergent tip for years for final rinsing with spotless water. Just make about the perfect spray pattern.

What a deal for all 4 degree tips. If only they made the 40 degree a black color though. Makes sense why they stuck with the standard white color though. I enjoy my Mckillans nozzle guard. Makes the MTM gun look better.

The weird thing I noticed with my pressure washer nozzles is by going to a larger orifice, the water stings my hand more, can’t tell if it’s better or worse for cleaning yet. I went from 2.5 to 3.0 at 25 degrees and 3.0 to 4.0 at 40 degrees. Both the 3.0 25 degrees at 900 psi and 4.0 40 degrees at 600 psi stings my hand slightly using something similar to the ryobi/greenworks equivalent

Very weird. I myself have gotten to where I go by the sound of the water hitting the surface. I’ll adjust the distance from the panel if I feel it’s a bit too strong. Anytime you go up in orifice size the PSI goes down. Now at that orifice size it could be that perfect combo of pressure and flow making the stream have more impact.

Did you build your pressure gauge setup? This is something I still need to purchase, but I can only afford tiny bits at a time, but definitely want to get a pressure gauge.

The ones on the hose going into the spray gun I buy all together and any fittings needed to adapt quick connects. The one I use on the end of the spray gun I made using some quick connects, a 1/4 tee fitting and the pressure gauge.

Maybe not spray paint as it’s a flexible surface, but plasti dip or something like that would do.

I just tested (40 & 25 degree) these with my SunJoe (1450 PSI 1.24 GPM). The pressure seemed a little less than the stock tips. Though the stock tips pattern is not as even. The edges of the fan have more pressure. It was a nice not have to worry as much about bumping the car.

@CarsWithKeav

We’re these the stock nozzles? Usually Sunjoe runs like a 2.0 size stock. The 3.0 would be less pressure, but would increase water flow. Better for washing a car. Agreed these have a very nice even spray pattern.

Hi Keav. I have the active V852 (well Simoniz as called in Canada with 1800 psi) with the Ridgewasher nozzles. Do you think those Nozzles would work good on the V852 in terms of more GPM flow?

@CarsWithKeav

Ай бұрын

Absolutely they will work with the VE52. Not sure about more flow unless you go higher on the size. The VE52 comes with 3.7 size nozzles and if you wanted more GPM then you could go to a 4.0 which I ran when I had the VE52. You will lose a little bit of pressure, but gain GPM. if you wanted a little more pressure then a 3.5 would help.

@CarsWithKeav

11 ай бұрын

Not saying you can’t, but there will be no benefit so I advise not to waste money on them. It will increase flow, but the pressure will be too low to clean good. Probably in the 400 or 500 PSI range. Unless it’s a pro 2300 or better model then 4.0 can be used. You want that perfect mix of flow and PSI for optimal cleaning and efficient rinsing without damaging anything.

How in the heck did you get a 3.0 for ryobi/greenworks or a 4.0 for an AR? For the Ryobi/greenworks your doubleling the size! AR not as much. But still a significant jump.

@CarsWithKeav

2 ай бұрын

3.0 is the perfect size on a Ryobi/greenworks for high flow and lower pressure perfect for washing a car. 900 PSI at 1.4 gpm versus their stock 1.7 that would be 1600 PSI at 1.1 GPM. These are just the nozzle sizes with my experience that get the best car washing numbers. Everybody that runs these to detail cars uses either a 2.5 or a 3.0. The Active in the video recommends and comes with a 3.7 so a 4.0 is just a slight increase to get that 2.0 GPM

Have you ever had a nozzle leak? Mine is slowly dribbling and I can't figure out why.
