316 Stainless Steel RB65

Given the unique challenges of industrial washdown applications, particularly when dealing with harsh chemicals, poor-quality water, or stringent hygiene requirements, it’s crucial to ensure washdown equipment can withstand aggressive conditions without compromising safety, performance, or longevity.

However, until now, operators seeking a washdown gun with a 1/2” threaded outlet for use in harsh environments faced limitations due to material constraints.

For years, the RB65 Wash Down Gun has been Australia’s most popular choice for industrial sites, thanks to its ergonomic design and reliability. However, users requiring a 1/2” outlet version—favoured for its ability to accommodate extensions and foam bottles—were restricted to a brass body. While durable, brass is not always ideal for environments where chemical resistance and ultra-hygienic conditions are paramount. Exposure to corrosive substances, cleaning agents, and poor-quality water can lead to premature wear, contamination risks, and increased maintenance costs.

Innovation was key and now available is the 1/2” outlet version of the RB65 Wash Down Gun with 316 stainless steel internals. This upgrade ensures that businesses operating in demanding environments can now benefit from the functionality of the threaded outlet while also achieving:

  • Superior Corrosion Resistance – Essential for applications where chemicals or impure water could degrade standard materials.
  • Enhanced Hygiene – Ideal for pharmaceutical and food processing facilities that require the highest sanitation standards.
  • Greater Longevity – Reduces replacement and maintenance costs by withstanding tough industrial conditions.

This advancement provides industries with a washdown gun that delivers on both performance and durability, ensuring safer and more efficient operations. The 316 stainless steel version of the 1/2” outlet RB65, is now available via Tecpro Australia.

If your facility requires a robust, corrosion-resistant washdown gun that meets strict hygiene and chemical exposure demands, the RB65 1/2” outlet version in 316 stainless steel is the solution. Contact Tecpro Australia today to learn more about how this innovation can benefit your operations.
