Frequently asked questions
Common questions about DELCO from 3G Electric.
What pressure and flow ratings are available in DELCO cold water pressure washers?
DELCO cold water pressure washers are available with pressure ratings from 1,300 psi to 3,500 psi and flow rates from 3 gpm to 10 gpm. For example, the wall-mount model DC65171 delivers 1,300 psi at 3 gpm, while the stationary model 65144 provides 3,500 psi at 5.5 gpm. Cart-mounted units like DC3005 offer 3,000 psi at 5 gpm. These specifications allow selection based on cleaning intensity and volume requirements. The range includes models with different horsepower and voltage options to match available power supplies.
What power supply options are offered for DELCO electric pressure washers?
DELCO electric pressure washers are available with 230 V single-phase, 230 V three-phase, and 460 V three-phase power supplies. Horsepower ratings range from 3 hp to 15 hp. For instance, the wall-mount DC65172 uses a 5 hp motor on 230 V single-phase, while the cart-mounted DC3005 has a 10 hp motor on 230 V three-phase. The 460 V three-phase model DC3004 features a 7 1/2 hp motor. This variety allows compatibility with different industrial electrical systems.
What is the difference between direct drive and belt drive pumps in DELCO pressure washers?
DELCO pressure washers are available with either direct or belt-driven pumps. Direct drive models, such as the wall-mount DC65171 and DC65172, have the pump connected directly to the motor, resulting in a compact design. Belt-driven models, like the cart-mounted DC3005 and DC2010, use a belt and pulley system, which can provide higher torque and may be preferred for heavy-duty applications. The choice depends on installation space, maintenance considerations, and performance requirements.
Can DELCO pressure washers be used with hot water intake?
Some DELCO pressure washer models are designed for hot water intake. For example, the cart-mounted model DC3004 (460 V three-phase, 3,000 psi, 4 gpm, 7 1/2 hp) features hot water intake capability. Other models, such as the DC3005 and DC2010, are specified for cold water only. It is important to verify the water intake specification for each model to ensure compatibility with the intended water supply. Using a cold-water-only unit with hot water may damage components.
What spray gun options does DELCO offer for pressure washing?
DELCO offers spray guns and combination kits, such as the plastic spray gun rated for 4,500 psi and 6.6 gpm with a maximum temperature of 120°F. This gun has an overall length of 22 1/4 inches and is suitable for high-pressure cleaning tasks. The part number for this item is 7112779AAA. These accessories are designed to work with DELCO pressure washers and other compatible systems. 3G Electric stocks these components as part of its DELCO inventory.
What burner fuel types are available for DELCO pressure washers with heating?
DELCO pressure washers with heating capability may use diesel or kerosene as burner fuel. For example, the cart-mounted model DC3005 features a diesel burner, while the stationary model 65144 is powered by kerosene. These burners allow for heated water operation, which can enhance cleaning effectiveness on grease and oil. The specific fuel type is indicated in the product specifications. Buyers should select based on fuel availability and application requirements.
