How easy would it be to install a steam valve on my pw? I have an alkota 3500psi 5.5gpm.

You'd need quite a few parts and the ability to assemble them, but it could be done.
For true 275° steam...
ball valve
metering valve
temperature gauge
hi limit switch
thermostat
flow switch
fittings
connector hoses
combination hose ( steam @ 300 psi or 200° @ 3,000 psi)
open steam gun
steam nozzle
For 225° steam...
thermostat
smaller nozzle

Russ, if you use a smaller nozzle, say instead of a 6.5 for a 5.5gpm 3000psi machine how much smaller would you say? 5.5? 5.0? 4.5? 4.0?
Also, most pressure hoses I have seen say that they are rated for 250 to 275 degrees, do you think it would be safe using them or what would you recommend and how much is that hose?
I will call you tomorrow about that question you had, just been busy trying to get the trucks finished, limping along as fast as I can. hahahahaha
Thanks Russ.
I didn't have the guts to turn up the therm past that.
