Is the Brass Water Washing & Cleaning Nozzle – AKBO Heavy Duty suitable for steam cleaning or only for hot water up to +80°C?

The Brass Water Washing & Cleaning Nozzle – AKBO Heavy Duty is suitable for hot water use up to +80°C but is not suitable for steam cleaning. It is designed for water washing with a durable brass mechanism and EPDM seals, supports up to 16 bar pressure, and provides high flow rates (110 l/min at 5 bar, up to 150 l/min at 16 bar). For steam applications, a nozzle specifically rated for steam must be used.

Can the Brass Water Washing & Cleaning Nozzle – AKBO Heavy Duty be used with chemicals or detergents, and are any parts (EPDM seals/handles) affected?

Brass Water Washing & Cleaning Nozzle – AKBO Heavy Duty can be used primarily with water and hot water (up to +80°C) and is built with brass components and EPDM rubber covers/seals. EPDM is generally resistant to many detergents, mild acids, alkalis and oils, so typical cleaning chemicals and common detergents are usually compatible and will not degrade the EPDM seals or handles under normal use. However, it is not suitable for steam and may be affected by aggressive chemicals (strong solvents, ketones, concentrated acids or caustics, chlorinated hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons) which can swell, harden or swell EPDM and attack brass. For safe use: - Avoid steam and chemicals outside EPDM compatibility. - Verify chemical compatibility of your specific detergent/chemical with EPDM and brass (manufacturer data sheets). - Rinse thoroughly after using chemicals to prevent residue damage. - Inspect seals and handles periodically for wear if used with chemicals. If you provide the exact chemical or detergent, I can confirm compatibility more precisely.
