Hi,
I'm trying to work out the best set up for connecting my water tank to a pressure washer.
The outlet on the tank is a 1" BSP brass female.
The inlet on the washer pump is a standard brass hoselock type fitting.
I'd like to have a 1/4 turn ball valve on the tank so I can disconnect it easily and ideally a filter between them as well.
The pump draws about 12 litres a minute from the tank so I'd like to keep the flow rate as unrestricted as possible.
Can anyone recommend a suitable set up?
Would I be OK to use a brass hexagon nipple (male/male) on the tank outlet and connect that to the full bore ball valve? Just not sure of the best way to scale the other end of the valve down to a garden hose fitting or incorporate the filter.
