Product watch

By Masonry

Steam Jenny has introduced four new models of direct-drive cold pressure washers, providing a compact, economical alternative to belt-driven models. Steam Jenny says that, while yielding the professional performance of commercial grade units, all models are designed for maximum durability and portability for use on the most demanding jobsites.

The pressure washers are powered by 9- or 13-horsepower Honda GX Series engines, and all models feature a triplex ceramic plunger pump that provides years of service and require little maintenance. The units offer an ideal balance between power and volume, and are available with pressure ratings between 3,000 and 4,000 psi. Flow rates vary between 3 and 4 gpm. Furthermore, a customizable option allows customers to choose a unit with pressure and flow ratings based on their specific needs.

Many standard features are incorporated into the line to ensure long service life, including thermal pump protection, an unloader valve, and a high-pressure relief valve to prevent damage to the pump. To protect the engine, the unit will automatically shut down if low oil levels are detected. The chassis is made with powder-coated, seven-gauge steel for enhanced durability. Other standard items include a professional-grade, insulated trigger gun with safety lock, quick-connect nozzles with nozzle control, high-capacity in-line water strainer, gun/wand holder, hose reel mounting adapter and dual rubber isolators.

For maximum maneuverability, the pressure washers feature ball-bearing wheels on a solid axle. The flat-free pneumatic tires are ideal for moving over any terrain.
