@@mahdi3181 yes, remember to change out all the connections according, and have the required spare o rings on hand, you can choose to use a one wire hose which has max use rating of 4000 psi

When I was younger pulling hose was much easier 💪🏽

Sorry this was not a step by step "how to" on the seal replacement.

Sorry missed this... The BE are improved now as compared to when this video was made, it's a good attachment semi-professional..we run 2. No wheels.. Whisper wash a notch higher, and mosmatic another notch

@@GriffsServices Thank you!

Sorry missed this, actually don't run a swivel... But then guns now that has a built-in swivel l don't remember the model number

Thought I did one, but it's really a plug and play

@@GriffsServices Can’t I remove the old O-rings and place them on the check valve first and then put them in? It seems difficult to get them out and then put them back in

@@nick32141 shouldn't be to hard do you have a dental pic like I have in the video?

@@GriffsServices Yes, I have one. I change the O-rings in the quick connect all the time. But when I reached into the check valves I didn’t feel any. Maybe they got worn away. I’ll open them up again. I’ll put new check valves in and seals. Thanks.

@@nick32141 your welcome

They are well built, I just had an issue with a damaged key, which was the root cause for resulting damage

Sorry missed this.. ceramic balls almost go forever, we don't swim a lot of chlorine, I have changed the seat, three times before I change a ball, the ball outlast oil components of the gun.. www.envirospec.com

Thanks!

RL 51 all the way... Couple things could be done differently, but I buy the seat and spring and repair them as needed... And of course change the ball to ceramic immediately, one of the largest in the industry 13/32 inch

My recommendation is at least 4gmp at 2500 psi.. nozzles 15 or 25 degrees appropriately sizes Better with more psi but it depends on what your cleaning and if any detergent presoak

I think it was multipurpose... I have not greased in a while, need too.. But I believe the new models have sealed bearings

You have independent check valves installed?

@@GriffsServices yep

@@Johnnyreengo need more info.. Before being Siamese together what would the setting for the pressure for each? Both the same type of unloader? Any chance of a video?

@@GriffsServices both 5.5gpm gear drives set to 2500psi each on VRT3 unloaders. Stainless check valves both work

@@Johnnyreengo strange, same pumps? If you don't want to mess with the troubleshooting, put the individual unloaders on quick connects and unhook (or switch if you made a tee outlet of each pump with block valves) then run both through a third unloader... Just a work around

By God's grace...What's up Jay...long time

@@GriffsServices its been awhile..the years have gone by and Im still out washing..my body is saying ..your getting older ..lol

@@JayPooler My body is trying to say something also, but may HE give us strength. And now, behold, the Lord has kept me alive, as He said, these forty-five years, ever since the Lord spoke this word to Moses while Israel wandered in the wilderness; and now, here I am this day, eighty-five years old. As yet I am as strong this day as on the day that Moses sent me; just as my strength was then, so now is my strength for war, both for going out and for coming in. Now therefore, give me this mountain of which the Lord spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakim were there, and that the cities were great and fortified.

👍🏽

Yes, most users do..and have done so for a long time.. That being said does not make it 100% correct by engineering safety standards. Most utilized this valve based on the premise that a rated safe working psi of 3000 is far less than that which the valve will fail, catastrophic failure psi is usually at least 3 higher psi...so on that premise most used this valve with up to 3500 PSI. Also at the time when that valve was made the powerwash industry didn't have a 4,000 PSI valve readily available...now however i do believe there is, also I believe there is now available an all stainless steel, both of which cost a bit more. Thank you for watching & your comment

Welcome

Yes ... But remember 5 gallon bucket of paint is not full all the way to the very brim

Never had a leak b4 this or after from that specific area...and I still run gearboxes today, in addition to belt. Think this was damage to the o ring b4 install

Welcome

Welcome

If I remember correctly 800psi.. minimum But remember to use the correct nozzles to maintain the pressure

@@GriffsServices Thanks griff :-) what about GALLONS PER MINUTE? (the pressure machine) 2 -3 -4 ? I want to use an electeic pressure washer, and they only go up to @ 1.5 - 2.0 gpm - will that be enough pressure? This little gem put us in the floor cleaning business if we can get it right

I would say 3 gpm at the lowest

Gearbox unlikely, unless the gears are worn out.. Did you change the check valves on your pump?? . vibration is usually a telltale signs of check valves or clogged water filter or air entering water inlet.

@@GriffsServices yup, I rebuild whole manifold I mean new check valves, orings, packing sealing, pistons sealing. Also checked for any air leaks in the system with no issue.

@@Kris9464 🤔... Then could be the box, how many hours you thinking on it?

@@GriffsServices 60, but its vibrating since 30 moto hours. I looked inside pump and inside the engine and they are fine - now time for the gearbox. Will see. Your videos about this PA gearboxes were very helpful to me. I thought PA is a premium brand but… im pissed of and I want to throw it in the trash and buy a Comet gearbox. Im using Comet pump too, RW4040.

@@Kris9464 after this issue with the gearbox I've never had a problem with the PA boxes.. it was an issue with the key .. could have been just a one of... But I since went back to one inch shaft.. Switch off the box if it is not vibration will stop.. Keep us updated if you do, or when you find the issue

Thank you for watching I didn't even know I reached 1000.. I'm just out here washing everyday not big on the KZfaq business.. Just put some useful information out when I can

That's an option, or lower the rpm (if not using heat), or cut with a ball valve (depending on how long the cleaning time)

Yes, it controls draw rate

@@GriffsServices will it affect my chemical strength?

@@artbentley4887 yes...best to test, put water in chemical bucket 1 gallon and run your machine and see how long it takes to draw out one gallon of water from chemical bucket..

@@GriffsServices what if it empties the gallon jug to fast. How do I solve that but not lose the chemical strength or is that even possible. Sorry for showing my lack of experience and ignorance.

@@artbentley4887 too fast is relative.. Best to measure... You have to know the gpm output of machine at the equivalent rpm without chemical tube in bucket.. Call me ... remember I am eastern time...after 7:30 am

A pro would have cut the hole to the determined size for a lid.. I went extreme budget (don't laugh, keeping it real) i balled a few big trash bags and stuffed it.. never fell in or came out. 🙂 Sure there are lots of options though. Thanks for viewing.

You can cut the hole a little bigger and use a 5 gallon bucket lid :)

5 stories 👀... I have noticed some of the things that affect the stream is the length of hoss run the size of the hose, type of gun. You have to go to bigger hose 1/2" at least for the first hundred feet , then no more than 100 ft 3/8" if you have to. Use a gun with the largest ball shut off 13/32" believe like a RL51...next another few more gpm , I find 10 to 12 to be a sweet spot.

@@GriffsServices Thanks Nigel! Do you happen to know if anyone has that gun in stock? I have a 5.5 belt drive that I can siamese to the 8 to get 12 plus. If you don't need a lift, don't get it right...Thanks again for your help!

Nevermind, Russ at Southside had one in stock. Thanks

@@GriffsServices my plow won't go down and if I give the little magnet float one it will go down and then I can go up and down about a dozen times but then it will get stuck up again and if I give it a tap it will do the same thing over and over It will work about 10 times and then I'll have to tap the end for it to work again so I'm not sure if the magnet is bad or there's just a loose connection somewhere but I have been screwing around with it for 3 hours

@@jeremyillingworth4302 could be the coil or valve... If you can move one of the nearby coils over the valve, then move the controller for that respective coil, if it works it's the coil .. But I am thinking it's the coil. Especially since it's a somewhat random occurrence

I thought the down one was magnetic and the other ones were not I did not know you can't interchange them🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ I thought the other ones were not magnetic

@@GriffsServices fh

The gearbox is held in place by 4 bolts to the engine, that slides out, the ring gear has a set screw, that locks on the key of the pump.. Be careful that to put a little locktite , I have had a set screw blackout with use. Hopefully i was helpful

Thanks for the comment

Welcome

Spins about the same speed if not faster, as the dirty water gets out the way

@@GriffsServices i really appreciate it. I tried the integrated recovery model from mosmatic and it spins very very slowly. This means that cleaning takes a long time. Oh and integrated recovery meaning that is doesn't need a vacuum to suck up the water.

@@fsalda1942 your welcome, I heard of and seen that technology with another company, but I want sure of reviews... thanks for your input..

@@GriffsServices Absolutely. You're using the mosmatic 12" with vacuum recovery correct?

@@fsalda1942 yes in video

Welcome

The thought was to control the volume of the detergent that can be drawn

I just went throw week of why my new injector wasn’t working. I replaced the original pressure hose with a more flexible hose. Well not knowing the new hose was 1/4 instead of the 3/8 and that reduced the flow which would not allow it to pick up chemical. Putting the original 3/8 hose back on and it worked perfectly then. Just a FYI

Lol... mosmatic coupler Thanks for watching.

@@GriffsServices I'll be nice to have, but so expensive. I think I even made a huge mistake ordering their swivel. Just realized I don't need that while running about 1000psi. I'll probably get something cheaper from General Pump or so.

@@rafars2246 1000psi, what is your equipment , hose length and tip setup

@@GriffsServices Oh I'm just a home owner with most interest on washing my car, and sidewalk etc. I got a Cat Electric Pressure Washer - "1800 PSI" 2.0 GPM. I use a 5/16" 40 feet black hard plastic hose, which I hate, but it is the only thing that doesn't off-gas fumes. I keep my hose inside my home, and can't have rubber... The included tips are 3.7, but I mostly use a 4.0 40 degree and a 3.5 15 degree From General Pump. Also love my 3.5 German made Rotojet turbo nozzle. Now the thing I like the most is the Mezzo Wash System.

@@rafars2246 got you.. I still have my first electric pressure washer from Sam's club 🙂

Never priced it under a mosmatic part number. Percentage wise how much difference in price

@@GriffsServices I got mine for $29.99 after a $10 coupon on eBay, but the Mosmatic 29.132 equivalent is over $100 everywhere. I still got a Mosmatic swivel which is very expensive, but even after that I saved over $35 on the gun.

@@rafars2246 thanks... bought mine online years.. I go for about the same price, got six Now we run the rl51.. they about $20 more for gun , back then that's no more ... The rl51 quite more expensive now

@@GriffsServices It is crazy to think about it. There are guys talking and showing the exact same interior, trigger mechanism etc, talking about how much more expensive the Mosmatic is for a reason, while comparing it with other overpriced guns. Hellou, got mine for $30 hehe

It's a water based polymer... Similar to rainx treatment for windscreen

Thanks

It's just 1.5" fittings for hardware store... The only thing I ordered online at the time if this build was the black banjo fitting, but I believe they have them in stores now, the hudson float valve online. 1.5" treaded to spigot 1.5" union 1.5" tee 1.5 to 1" reducing (slip to threaded) 1" treaded to barb.. Then figure what you need to go into your pump...on mine I needed to go from barb to 3/4" garden
