Hydraulic action easy squeeze trigger gun offers an extremely comfortable grip. 13.2 gpm, 4,100psi, 320 degrees F, 3/8" fpt inlet, 1/4" fpt outlet. PDF Breakdown

Trigger Gun - Guns are fairly simple mechanisms designed around a trigger-operated ball valve. The valve ball is held in a closed or forward position by flow of water and blocks flow of water through gun to the nozzle. When trigger is depressed it pushes a pin against ball, forcing the ball off its seat and opening a path for water to flow to the nozzle. When trigger is released gain a spring returns the ball to its seating and flow is again blocked. Gun should be comfortable for operator to use based on the performance
Generally front entry type guns are used on lower pressure units and are less expensive.
Rear entry guns are more comfortable as they have less kick-back and the hose does not get in the operators way.
The gun is probably the most abused component of the pressure washer and thereby the most frequently replaced. It pays to offer a quality one thereby avoiding expensive warranty cost.

Straight Lances​

48" Lance with Molded Grip, 1/4" MPT Inlet & Outlet, 10 GPM, 4,000 PSI.

Lances
It is useful to have various lengths of lances available to match the particular job at hand. The most common lengths are the 36” and 48”. To determine which lance is best for each application you need to look at the job. There are obvious reasons for choosing a lance, for example, when you are washing a two story house you would want to use a 60”, 72” or telescoping lance to avoid working from a ladder. Or perhaps you are cleaning an engine or confined space and a 12” or flexible lance is a more practical choice. Be sure to take into account other conditions such as potential splash back and space considerations.
For washing fleets a 72” lance is preferred because it allows you to stay back from the water and still reach the top of the fairings quite easily. However, the problem becomes space, if the trucks are not moved or staggered the longer wand becomes too clumsy to work with between the trucks and washing becomes more difficult and time consuming. When working with a row of parked vehicles the 36” or 48” lances are a much better choice allowing for maneuverability between the vehicles and still providing adequate reach.
When working with flat work or decks the most common length is the 48” lance. This particular length lance allows you to stand in a comfortable upright position while allowing proper distance from the surface of the nozzle, helping to prevent splash back and providing adequate reach.
Lances may be equipped with a small bend in the end of the lance. This bend serves two purposes for the operator. First when under pressure the water flow and pressure will lift the end of the lance. This causes the weight of the lance to be transferred back to the gun and hose providing greater balance and less operator fatigue. Second, the bend allows the spray from the nozzle to be applied to the surface evenly. When the operator is reaching up to spray the bend helps to compensate for the angle and applies the fan pattern at a flatter angle. This helps to equalize the surface impact of the fan and prevent what is known as cut marks or lap marks on the surface.
Lances/Materials
Lances are made with many types of metals and other materials. The most common materials used in construction are stainless steel, zinc plated steel and aluminum. Some of the lances are sold in different schedules (thickness), such as schedule 40 and schedule 80. Typically, the steel and stainless steel lances are sold in a schedule 40 as the material is thick enough and strong enough to support the flows and pressures at that rating. The thinner material also allows for the lance to have a reduced weight. Aluminum lances on the other hand will typically be a schedule 80 as the additional thickness is required to withstand the higher pressures and add strength to the softer metal.
These lances may be equipped with a molded or pressed on grip, a removable grip or no grip at all. The grip will usually have ribs or vents in the construction. The purpose is to allow for airflow around the hand to help keep the hands dry allowing for a better grip on the lance, as well as, providing some structural strength to the lance. In addition, the grip provides protection from heat buildup due to hot water.
