Is the AKBO Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Water Washing & Cleaning Nozzle suitable for steam cleaning?

No — the AKBO Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Water Washing & Cleaning Nozzle is not suitable for steam cleaning. It is rated for hot water use up to +80°C and a maximum operating pressure of 16 bar, but the product description explicitly states it is not suitable for steam applications. Use it for high-temperature water cleaning only, observing safety precautions.

Can the AKBO Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Water Washing & Cleaning Nozzle be used with detergents or cleaning chemicals without damaging EPDM seals?

Yes — the AKBO Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Water Washing & Cleaning Nozzle can be used with many detergents and cleaning chemicals without damaging the EPDM seals, but with sensible limits. EPDM rubber is generally resistant to hot water, alkalis, detergents, and many common cleaning agents, and the nozzle is specified for temperatures up to +80°C and pressures up to 16 bar. That makes it suitable for typical cleaning detergents and alkaline or neutral cleaners used in professional wash applications. Avoid use with strong oxidizing agents (e.g., concentrated chlorine/bleach), aromatic or chlorinated hydrocarbons, ketones, and strong acids, as those can degrade EPDM and shorten seal life. Also avoid steam exposure, which the nozzle is not rated for. Recommendation: check the chemical compatibility of any specific detergent with EPDM (manufacturer safety/data sheet), rinse thoroughly after use, and operate within the stated temperature/pressure limits to ensure seal longevity.
