Maximum pressure for water pressure washers.

Posted By Clive Richardson At our place of work we operate a water pressure washer for cleaning production machinery. Does anyone have information, or know where I can find it, regarding the maximum permitted pressure of water passing through the lance.
Thanks in advance.
Clive.

Posted By Chris Pollington Hi Clive Having bought one for home use, I have noticed that it is stamped on the lance itself as a maximum safe pressure, This is much higher than the maximum working pressure of the washer unit. If you have bought it as a set the manufacturer should ensure that it is matched with the unit. If you are after information on the maximum legal pressure you can use through any lance system then I guess it is down to risk assessment and the maximum would be that which is safe under the circumstances.
I hope this is of some use Chris.
