PSI and GPM???

Try looking at this

Justin,

If your supplier does not know this, I'd be real careful with whatever else they say.

Good set of Charts. Not everyone knows about this page. Allot of information Gene. Been waiting for someone to refer to it .

This information will answer allot of questions.

Thanks, This is great info has cleared up alot.

The color of the tip only denotes the spray angle. Red = 0 deg, yellow = 15 deg, green = 25 deg, white = 40 deg. The psi is regulated by the orifice size for any given tip. A typical white tip for a 3500 psi/4 gpm pwer would be 40040 or possibly 4040. The first 40 is the angle and the last numbers are the actual size of the tip - in this case 04.0 or 4.0. Tips come in many sizes, in fact, many times I will use a 40120 (40 deg and 12.0 size) to lower the pressure without lowering the gpms. Hope this helps.

It does help a lot so thank you and thanks guys for the charts, too. I just pulled two different sets of tips I bought at seperate times last year and, indeed, they are different orifice sizes.

Bob W. helped me with this very issue in December. He walked me through identifying the right tips to help tame the beast I bought from him to do lower pressure washing.

Hi,

You can't really say. The flow rate (perhaps measured in gallons per minute) depends on the details of the entire plumbing system between where the pressure is applied and the exit. When I say details it means thing like the total length of pipe, the internal roughness of the pipe (which changes over time) and even how many bends and how they are laid out in the pipe.
