Pressure Washing Equipment

I'm trying to find something like I used years ago to pressure wash engine compartments. I know alot of the ones to day like the Karchers are self contained but thats not what I'm after.

The wands we used back in the day (damn, I feel older just typing it) had two inlets. One you could attach the water supply with a garden hose style fitting for hot or cold water. And the other you could attach a line from the shop air compressor. I have been able to find one supplier, Hydro-air. Unfortunatlely even with the extension it's less then 18" long and I'm looking for 24"-36".

Anyone got any ideas or suppliers?

Thanks

Chuck

I have had a lot of luck with local suppliers on good pumps Northern Tool.com has a lot of quality parts too for presure washers with a lot of hot water attachments thats the best that I know of.

I'm trying to get away from using a separate pump, that's part of the initial quest. In using the air compressor for pressure I don't need the extra equipment. Not to mention the heads are cheaper to rebuild than the pressure pumps.

Now we're getting closer (thanks Neal). I just need one to work with an industrial compressor probably closer to 150- 200 psi.
