About Fire-Fighting Hose Threads

For light duty spray-down applications, attach these wash guns to any standard garden hose. They have a locking clip to hold nozzle open for continuous spraying.

Guns with insulated bodies protect your hands from exposure to high water temperatures.

Styles B, C, and D have garden hose male connection at the spray end for attaching accessories.

Style B with plastic body is built entirely from corrosion resistant components. It is typically used in applications near salt water.

Style A has a spray head that twists to adjust the spray pattern. Styles B, C, and D have a squeeze lever that controls the spray pattern. Style E has a five-position dial to adjust between seven spray patterns: shower, jet, cone, mist, stream, full, and flood.

Heavy Duty Wash Guns

These durable wash guns are typically used for frequent washdowns and cleanup. Note: These guns should not be connected to steam lines.

Swivel inlet connection provides easier gun handling and prevents hose from kinking.

Bronze body wash guns are the economical choice. Aluminum body wash guns are lightweight and durable. Stainless steel body wash guns are corrosion resistant and more durable than bronze and aluminum.

Guns with insulated body protect you from exposure to high water temperatures and minimized damage to the gun if dropped.

Style A has a trigger lock to prevent accidental discharge.

Style B are half the weight of other models.

Style E have a trigger that adjusts the spray pattern from a solid stream to a broad cone. Change out the spray cap to switch the water flow. Guns have a swivel connection when the included 3/4" garden hose thread (GHT) inlet connector is used. If connector is not used, inlet connection is 1/2 NPT.

Style F have a trigger that adjusts the spray pattern from a solid stream to a broad cone. It can be locked into place.

High-Pressure Wash Guns

These wash guns have a high maximum pressure, so use them with pressure washers and high-pressure spray systems.

Swivel inlet connection provides easier gun handling and prevents hose from kinking.

Stainless steel valves are corrosion resistant and more durable than brass.

Style A have a trigger lock that prevents accidental discharge.

Use an optional extension to get into hard-to-reach areas. Replacement spray nozzles are for use with wash guns and will not fit optional extensions.

Maintenance Kits—Have replacements for parts that are prone to wear.

Quick-Disconnect Wash Gun Extensions

Clean hard-to-access areas by extending the reach of your quick-disconnect wash gun. These extensions have a threaded coupling for your wash gun and a quick-disconnect coupling for your nozzle. Made of stainless steel (with brass couplings), they’re durable and have good corrosion resistance. They’re commonly called extension wands.

Nozzles are required, but not included; see quick-disconnect spray nozzles.

Quick-Disconnect High-Pressure Wash Guns

With a high maximum pressure and quick-disconnect nozzle connection, these wash guns work with pressure washers and high-pressure spray systems and it’s easy to swap out their nozzles. Five nozzles with different spray angles are included, as is a 20" nozzle extension. There’s also a quick-disconnect inlet adapter, so you can switch between hoses easily as well. To prevent accidental spraying, these guns have a trigger lock.

Wash guns with a swivel forearm handle rotate 360° to help you find the most comfortable position for spraying.

For additional nozzles, see quick-disconnect high-pressure spray nozzles.
