xOverview
Meet the Comet Pressure Washer VRT-3 Unloader, a brass-bodied valve that sits between your pump and spray gun to help balance pressure and flow. Designed for demanding cleaning tasks, it supports up to 4500 PSI and 10.5 GPM, making it suitable for heavy-duty residential work and light commercial use. With 3/8 inch FNPT inlet, outlet, and by-pass ports, installation adapts to a wide range of pumps and hoses, while the built-in by-pass redirects water flow when the trigger is idle to keep your system smooth and responsive.
The durable brass construction stands up to outdoor conditions, and the black knob offers quick, tool-free pressure adjustments. This unloader is rated for a maximum operating temperature of 194°F, giving you flexibility across common cleaning tasks without exceeding safe limits for typical components.
