Yes. Every vendor sales them
That does not say for 8gm…I does say 7.7gpm which is close… you don’t put a 4gpm nozzel on a 8gpm washer…
That’s bad for the pump… Pump is pumping out 8gpm and smaller nozzle is not good.
restrects the flow… I just bought 3 off ebay that were 4.0 i emaile the guy back to see if i could swap for 8.0.
He says high as he sells is 5.6…
Dr. I thought for sure you knew that
I really did find this one, I was just testing to see what the Dr. knew
you don’t find very many 8.0gpm’s

Really? I have about 20. Once again. If you can’t figure out how to do the job or equip yourself you might be I the wrong line of work… Click on the link and and use the drop bar to find your nozzle size
Send me an address and I’ll send one
Next question comment, On my new 8gpm 24hp Honda
200gallon tank.
I’m gong to put this on a 12’ single axle trailer… I will not haul water around. I get to the job and fill up my tank…
For the last 2 years I have a 6x10 with 16hp 200gallon tank on a single axle…
I never had any issues with weight/pulling. Always empty.
my truck is older 1 ton phone service truck…
I guess is should get a double axle?
My monies are about to run out…
If you don’t plan to haul water, or much of it, a 3500# single acle trailer will work just fine
OK Pal’s I have a new question… On this 8gpm unit I’m getting I’m putting a 300 gallon tank on it…
I pull up to a house empty tank… SO I read how fast 8gpm will take a tank empty… I was thinking of getting a bigger hose…
I got 3/4… I have seen a 1" even a 1 1/2"…
Experts what is the way of thinking on this, I now have 200tank 3/4" hose 4gpm 3500 takes a bit to run it down
I keep and will keep a hose in all the time.
I hate it to take 2 forevers to fill a tank up…
bystander ol buddy I KNOW you got some thoughts on this for me…
Your question is very confusing…
-
Are yiu asking how long it takes to empty a 300 tank using a 8gpm machine?
-
How long it takes to fill a 300 gallon tank?
-
Or how long it takes to empty the tank using a 1.5" hose?
just asking do I need can I get a bigger hose to fill up my 300gallon tank.
Do anybody use a bigger hose to put water in a big tank.
How long would it take to empty a 300 gallon tank straight cleaning with a 8gmp washer?
I was told takes 30min to empty a 200gallon tank??
sorry to confuse Mr.Fixit
You’re restricted to how much water the spigot puts out. I’m pretty sure (someone will correct me if I’m wrong) that a 3/4" house is sufficient to handle what a home spigot can pump to your tank. Going larger won’t help I don’t believe.
Emptying your 300gl tank is easy math 300/8=37.5 minutes to empty. This is on trigger time (no letting off) and doesn’t account for the water entering the tank.
So if you were pumping in 5 gallons a minute into the tank and your machine is pumping out 8gpm, then in reality you’re only using 3 gallons a minute in which case, you’d have a solid 60 minutes of trigger time in that scenario.
your right spigot size is what it is not putting more out…faster fill up?
3/4 is faster then 5/8 size… 1" faster fill up than 3/4?
thanks for your input/thinking on this. I just stay with the 3/4
I got it, I do have a fire hydrant hose… yea I will tap one of those close by and fill it up…
Dazz it!!!l
bystander is that legal I’m a volunteer fire man…
No it’s not legal. I use hydrants everyday and pay for meters, water fees and install fees. 5/8 hose is all i use. 3/4 takes up top much space on the reel. 300 gallons is over a ton of water to be hauling around. I run 2 eight gpm machines on 125 gallon tanks. Big risk hauling water.
I don’t haul any water around always empty.
guess i will stick with the 3/4 works pretty good for me.
thank u for your comments…
If you don’t haul water a small tank will work for you.

you said the other day u have a 8gpm and use a 65gallon tank.
How can that be surely that would go down quick…
I’m as i do am missing something??
I have one truck with 2 8 gpm machines. You don’t need a big tank if you have good water flow. I woek of off hydrants mainly but even with houses it’s ok. Just hook up to two spigots.
I think maybe this is what you’re missing:
Keep the water supply turned on, and the float valve will shut the flow off when the tank gets full. That way you don’t have to keep stopping what you’re doing to refill the tank.
Does a Float Valve slow the water going into the tank??
On my new unit they are putting in the Hudson Float valve…
