Max flow set up for 1" BSP to 15mm hose

[Nick Roberts]

Hi,

I'm trying to work out the best set up for connecting my water tank to a pressure washer.

The outlet on the tank is a 1" BSP brass female.

The inlet on the washer pump is a standard brass hoselock type fitting.

I'd like to have a 1/4 turn ball valve on the tank so I can disconnect it easily and ideally a filter between them as well.

The pump draws about 12 litres a minute from the tank so I'd like to keep the flow rate as unrestricted as possible.

Can anyone recommend a suitable set up?

Would I be OK to use a brass hexagon nipple (male/male) on the tank outlet and connect that to the full bore ball valve? Just not sure of the best way to scale the other end of the valve down to a garden hose fitting or incorporate the filter.

1/2 " should be enough

Brass reducing nipp from 1" - 1/2

1/2 lever valve f and f

Then I guess your hose lock to the pressure washer

Have you brought the pressure washer yet?

Cheers Shaun, I'll stick with 1/2".

RPM, not yet and I'm open to suggestions if you have any!

My only suggestion is to find one you think you like then download the MI`s for it as pretty sure everything you need to know about flow rates and possibly which connections will there.

OK, I'll do that. I appreciate the advice, thanks.
