[Jim Nazarian]

Parker

 

[Mike Pailliotet]

450 psi???????

 

[dealtimeman]

We like the parker yellows as well.

 

[Jim Nazarian]

450 psi???????

Clean carpets at 500 psi & T\G at 900 psi & the Parkers last a couple years, easy to turn with gloves on & they don't snag carpets or damage wood floors.

Costs about $16.

 

[dealtimeman]

Exactly but ours don't last 2 years ours last 6-9 months

 

[Mike Pailliotet]

That valve on top has probably completed $300k worth of work, easily

 

[Desk Jockey]

That's about all we get out of any of them.
But if you think about it we really put them through hell.

 

[Mike Pailliotet]

Damn chimps insist on draging them for miles

 

[Mike Pailliotet]

The more I think about it, that top valve has been going for two years on the AT


600k?

 

[Desk Jockey]

I buy a couple dozen at a time and replace them as they look rough along with the plastic blue QD's.

WOW we rarely make it a year. That's amazing.

 

[Mike Pailliotet]

Notice the rubber cover is gone and the lever has been sawed off...long ago..

 

[Desk Jockey]

LOL A little road rash.

 

[dealtimeman]

If we change one we change the other. Valve and or quick connect. Can't change One without the other. Like love and marriage.

 

[Mike Pailliotet]

That's beautiful

 

[Desk Jockey]

That's beautiful

Yea he takes it too far. I've seen him walk around with the male & female QD's connecting and disconnecting them with a weird grin on his face.

Need a new ball valve? I think you will love this new one. RAted at 1500 PSI, but we stamped them 1000 PSI to discourage folks from pushing the limits. We are getting great feedback from cleaners that have used them. http://interlinksupply.com/index.php?item_num=AH57

I have a Joe Valve as well. It works great. But my QD protectors are too big or I don't know how to put them on right...

I use what Mr. Warrington posted.

The problem with the red and blue ball valve have is the screw holding the handle comes out in 2-3 weeks and I have to glue it back in. After that they are good until the handle breaks off. The yellow Parker ones the plastic handle grinds down too fast for me.

Sometime I have to take them apart and put some pipe dope in them to keep them from leaking.
