It is an ST 2000,..these are the best triggers I've used. There is a high pressure swivel on the inlet. As you can see, I drilled two holes in the finger guard to store other nozzles.
Although I mostly use the triple "gang" nozzle,..the red o degree and the yellow fan nozzle are used for certain things,..such as knocking bees nest down and blowing debris from a driveway,..etc....
The gang nozzle consists of: ) 0 degree and fan soap nozzle and a rinse nozzle.
I rarely use a wand,...this is really nice,.. as it's' compact, light and easy to handle in smaller areas.
Here is my ST-2305 w/ Jrod (4way) this is what I use for downstreaming. I use All stainless steel fittings. I have a high pressure swivel and ball valve on my pressure hose. Chris

Jeff I use a high pressure ball valve on a triggerless wand when I'm doing large areas of moss removal on pavers or retaining walls using a turbo nozzle. Those valves are pretty tight to use under pressure. One was so hard I broke off the handle trying to operate it.
I didn't know that Ed,..that wouldn't be what I'd want if they're that hard to operate. I don't switch implements that often really,..so no big deal either way.
My high pressure ball valve didn't last 3 months and I don't use a pressure washer every day. Fortunately for me, it broke in the open position. I had it hard plumbed in so I haven't changed it yet, but I'm wondering if I even want to use another.

Thanks Chris,..that's the one I was planning on buying due to it's short handle,...but I will do a little more thinking about it. Maybe others will express opinions and experiences.
I started using ball valves with a straight through gun. They a little more bulky but I'm tird of guns leaking!!! Got about 3 months on one right now and love

Chet,..that is the the trigger I use for my pressure washer for house washing. I assume by the refferal to "Love" you're the one you mentioned for roof mix.
Is a trigger gun with wand necessary for softwashing? Is the main purpose of the wand just for reaching higher or lower areas? If using the JROD 4-nozzle holder, which nozzles would work best for a 3500PSI Pressure Washer supplying 5.5GPM? I'm new to downstreaming and I'm looking to purchase the correct items for getting started this year. I understand that one nozzle has to draw the soap, but I think I'm misreading nozzle charts, etc.. I just don't want to buy the wrong products. Thanks for all of the good info, guys.

Hey Phil,...I prefer not to use a wand,..seems needless in most cases. Switching nozzles is quicker and simpler as well. But,..adding a wand will give you more distance. With that machine and correct nozzles there shouldn't be issue with reaching any two story house,..as long as it's mostly calm.
