When it comes to industrial high-pressure washers, it’s important to understand that their high-pressure gun counterparts, do not fit into the “one-size-fits-all” category. This is since these accessories are made up of more than one part, of which these parts are generally tailored to a specific application and/or the respective high-pressure machine. Having said that, a complete high-pressure gun, comprises of a trigger, lance, quick coupling and nozzle.
High-pressure guns play a crucial role in cleaning performance since they serve as the link between a high-pressure hose and a high-pressure lance. Thus, it is evident that each of the following high-pressure accessories have specific functions, which, when working as one, allow for optimal cleaning results.
- The trigger: this component can be identified as the control centre because when pressed, water is either released or cut off
- The lance: this spare part directs water, ultimately extending its reach
- The quick coupling: this component allows the operator to change between different lances and triggers during application
- The nozzle: this spare part will determine the pressure and spray patterns from a high-pressure washer
An interesting fact is that in most cases, the appearance of the colour red on our triggers, lances and couplers, often indicates that these components can be used on a machine that can operate up to 500 bar. Blue triggers, on the other hand, usually indicate their use with machines that can operate up to 350 bar.

It’s important to note that when choosing a high-pressure gun, it is crucial to consider pressure, flow rate and its ability to work cooperatively with the respective high-pressure washer. If you’re ready to invest in the future of high-pressure washing equipment, CEMSA stocks numerous spares and accessories including high-pressure gun components from a broad range of distributors. Contact your nearest CEMSA branch or distributor to find out more.
