Pressure Washer Accessories in Tampa

What size pressure washer nozzle do I need?

Nozzle orifice size must match your pressure washer's GPM (gallons per minute) rating. A nozzle that's too small restricts flow and can damage your pump by creating back-pressure, while one too large reduces cleaning power. Common orifice sizes range from 2.0 to 8.0. At Sundial, we can look up your specific model and recommend the correct nozzle size. We stock complete color-coded tip sets: 0-degree red (pencil jet), 15-degree yellow (heavy cleaning), 25-degree green (general purpose), 40-degree white (gentle rinsing), and 65-degree black (soap application).

What are quick-connect fittings and why do I need them?

Quick-connect (QC) fittings allow rapid tool-free attachment changes. The industry standard is 1/4" QC for most consumer and light commercial equipment, with 3/8" QC used on higher-flow professional machines. These fittings use a spring-loaded collar that locks securely under pressure but releases with a simple pull-back motion. We stock complete adapter kits, male plugs, female sockets, M22 thread adapters, and garden hose adapters from trusted manufacturers to ensure leak-free connections at any pressure rating.

What is a surface cleaner and how do I choose the right size?

A surface cleaner is a wheeled attachment with spinning spray bars that cleans flat surfaces up to 5x faster than a standard wand while eliminating striping marks. Size selection depends on your machine's GPM output: 12-15" cleaners work with 2-3 GPM residential units, 16-20" models require 3-4 GPM, and 21"+ commercial cleaners need 4+ GPM to spin properly. Using an oversized surface cleaner causes the bars to stutter or stop, reducing effectiveness. We carry models from 12" residential to 24"+ commercial units and can match the right size to your equipment.

What's the difference between a turbo nozzle and a regular nozzle?

A turbo nozzle (also called a rotary nozzle) combines the power of a 0-degree pencil jet with the coverage of a 25-degree fan pattern. It contains a rotating internal mechanism that spins the zero-degree stream in a circular motion, delivering up to 50% more cleaning impact than standard nozzles. Turbo nozzles are ideal for removing stubborn stains, paint, rust, and heavy grime from concrete, metal, and equipment. We carry turbo nozzles rated for various PSI and GPM combinations to match your specific machine.

How do downstream chemical injectors work?

Downstream chemical injectors use the Venturi principle to draw cleaning solution into the water stream after it exits the pump. When you switch to a low-pressure soap nozzle (typically the black 65-degree tip), pressure drops enough for the injector to siphon chemical from a container through a pickup tube. This method protects your pump from chemical damage since soap never passes through it. We carry adjustable downstream injectors that let you control dilution ratios, plus replacement barbs, check valves, and chemical-resistant tubing.

Do you carry replacement trigger guns and O-ring repair kits?

Yes, we stock a full range of trigger guns and repair components. This includes complete trigger gun assemblies rated for various PSI levels, replacement triggers, O-ring assortment kits, inlet filters, swivel connectors, and safety clips. We carry both universal replacement guns compatible with most machines and brand-specific OEM parts. Our technicians can also rebuild trigger guns in-shop if parts replacement is more cost-effective than buying new. Bring your equipment in for a free evaluation.
