Size Guide

Choosing the right size and fitting for your Pellanwater product ensures the best performance and a safe, efficient cleaning experience. This guide provides detailed information on hose diameters, nozzle fittings, spray gun compatibility, and extension accessories. Whether you’re a professional contractor or a home user, understanding your product’s dimensions will help you achieve powerful and precise results every time.

1. Understanding Hose Diameters

The hose diameter determines water flow and pressure efficiency. Using the correct size prevents performance loss and ensures your washer or spray gun functions optimally.

• 1/4 Inch (6.35 mm): Best for light-duty cleaning tasks such as washing vehicles, garden tools, and outdoor furniture. Compatible with most compact cordless washers.
• 5/16 Inch (7.9 mm): A balanced option for moderate cleaning needs such as patios, decks, and driveways. Provides higher water flow without losing flexibility.
• 3/8 Inch (9.5 mm): Ideal for heavy-duty or professional cleaning. Supports high PSI levels, suitable for large surfaces and industrial applications.

Always check your pressure washer’s PSI rating before selecting a hose. Using a hose that’s too narrow can restrict flow, while one that’s too wide may reduce water velocity.

2. Spray Nozzle Types and Angles

Pellanwater nozzles are designed to offer multiple spray patterns, allowing users to control both coverage and intensity. Each nozzle angle serves a different purpose:

• 0° Red Nozzle: Delivers a pinpoint jet stream for removing stubborn dirt from concrete or metal surfaces. Use cautiously to avoid surface damage.
• 15° Yellow Nozzle: A strong, narrow spray for cleaning driveways and heavy grime buildup.
• 25° Green Nozzle: The most versatile option — perfect for general cleaning of vehicles, siding, and decks.
• 40° White Nozzle: Offers a wide, gentle spray for delicate surfaces like painted finishes or windows.
• 65° Black Nozzle: Used for detergent or soap application; low pressure allows even coverage.

Many Pellanwater models include multi-function nozzles or rotating tips that let you adjust the spray pattern without changing attachments.

3. Extension Wand Lengths

Extension wands help reach tall or hard-to-access areas safely. Common sizes include:

• 12–15 Inches: Compact extensions for vehicle washing or close-range cleaning.
• 18–24 Inches: Standard extensions suitable for home use and general cleaning applications.
• 36–60 Inches: Extended reach for rooftops, high walls, and undercarriage washing. Some Pellanwater models feature telescopic extensions for convenience.

When using long extensions, ensure your water pressure unit provides adequate PSI to maintain consistent flow through the extended length.

4. Connector Compatibility

Choosing the correct connector type ensures leak-free performance and prevents wear on your spray system. Pellanwater uses universal quick-connect standards compatible with most 1/4-inch and 3/8-inch fittings.

• Quick Connectors: Enable rapid attachment and removal of hoses and accessories. Ideal for users who frequently switch between tools.
• Threaded Connectors: Provide a secure fit for heavy-duty cleaning or high PSI applications. Ensure proper threading before use.
• Adapters: Pellanwater adapters allow cross-compatibility between different connector sizes and international fitting standards.

5. Spray Gun and Trigger Sizes

The comfort and control of your cleaning experience largely depend on the trigger size and gun grip design. Our standard options include:

• Compact Trigger Gun: Lightweight, single-hand design for car washing and small cleaning jobs.
• Extended Trigger Gun: Provides better leverage for long-duration use; suitable for professional or commercial cleaning.
• Dual-Finger Trigger: Found in high-pressure contractor models like the GRC 3600 PSI series for enhanced stability and precision.

6. Recommended Accessories and Pairings

Choosing the right accessories enhances the cleaning potential of your Pellanwater tools. Here’s how to select compatible parts:

• Surface Cleaners: For even cleaning of flat surfaces such as patios and driveways. Check the maximum PSI compatibility before connecting.
• Water Brooms: Use with high-pressure hoses to clean undercarriages or large ground surfaces efficiently.
• Soap Tanks: Verify that the connection matches your washer’s detergent nozzle for consistent chemical flow.

7. Measurement Conversion Chart

For international users, here’s a quick reference to help you convert between metric and imperial measurements commonly used in water gun and washer specifications:

• 1/4 inch = 6.35 mm
• 3/8 inch = 9.52 mm
• 1/2 inch = 12.7 mm
• 1 foot = 30.48 cm
• 1 meter = 3.28 feet
