Overview

The Brass Wash Down Jet is the low pressure fitting for a dual lance pressure washer setup. The listing describes it as a brass fitting with a 1/4 inch male thread that is fitted to the low pressure side of a dual lance, the side of the double lance that runs detergent and rinse water instead of the high pressure jet.

Brass is the right material for the wash down side of a pressure washer: it resists corrosion, stands up to the chemicals used in detergent work, and wears well on a fitting that is threaded and unthreaded as the lance is set up and broken down. The 1/4 inch male thread mounts it to the low pressure outlet of the double lance through the supplied adaptors.

What You Need to Complete the Job

Fit the jet to the low pressure side of a double lance so the detergent and rinse work from the one tool. For a ready made assembly, the double lance complete gun carries the dual outlet layout. Add a 5 piece nozzle kit for the high pressure side, and see the Pressure Washers Accessories range for the rest of the kit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a wash down jet used for?

It is the low pressure outlet on a dual lance setup, used to run detergent and rinse water onto the surface at low pressure before the high pressure side blasts it clean. The listing describes it as the fitting for the low pressure side of a dual lance.

Does it fit the double lance in the range?

Yes. The double lance in the range is supplied with 1/4 inch female to 1/8 inch female adaptors, and the brass wash down jet with its 1/4 inch male thread mounts through those to the low pressure outlet. The thread is 1/4 inch male, so it screws into the female outlet on the lance side of the assembly without an extra adaptor in most cases.

Why brass?

Brass resists corrosion and chemical attack, which is exactly what the detergent side of a pressure washer exposes a fitting to. It also wears well on a fitting that is regularly threaded on and off as the lance is set up.
