AUSSIE PRESSURE CLEANER TEST SET
Everybody knows that professional pressure cleaners
occasionally need to have their pressure tested and sometimes
reset. Doing this efficiently, and in line with our professional
recommendations is not easy unless you have the right
equipment.
Checking pressure regularly will tell you if nozzles are worn, if the
pressure regulator is worn, if there are leaks in the system, if the
valves are sticking and signal other problems that can manifest
themselves in low pressure operation.
The Aussie Test Set (Part number ATESTSET) will solve those
problems. Consisting of a convenient brass T with M22 quick
coupler and 6,000 psi pressure gauge you can check to make
sure everything is operating as it should. Detailed instructions are
included with each kit.
