✕DO NOT FORCE THE FIT
Not for consumer machines: the M22 gun on a big-box washer does not take this fitting — that buyer's wand is the 28430, and no adapter exists in any accepted claim ⚑.
Not a pressure source: it delivers the machine's PSI and contributes zero of its own.
Not a hose-end tool: without a machine it is a well-made pipe, and the hose-only member of the line is the PivotJet Pro (28470).
Not for close-range narrow-tip work on wood, vinyl, or vehicle paint — no wand makes destructive pressure polite.
And not a ladder extender: its 40 inches exist so the ladder never leaves the truck.
every pass starts by setting the head perpendicular with the twist grip; power falls off with every degree of tilt. Manage the lever: 40 inches amplifies hand wobble at the tip — choke the wand hand out toward the grip for fine work, and slow the sweep as the radius grows so the tip's ground speed stays constant. Distance is the dial: far is gentle, close is destructive; find the setting on a test patch nobody will see. Never stationary: motion is what separates cleaning from etching. Overlap like mowing, turning off the work, not on it. After detergent days, a clean-water flush through the wand and a wipe-down of the couplings and pivot mechanism is cheap insurance ⚑ (care ritual is trade practice; Hyde publishes no maintenance instructions for the family).
Asked at the counter
BUYER QUESTIONS ANSWERED BEFORE THE CART, NOT AFTER THE RETURN
Is this the wand for my gun?
If the gun's outlet is the professional 1/4"-style — a screw-on measuring about 1/2" across inside — yes. The fat ≈3/4" M22 consumer fitting takes the 28430 instead.
Is "1/4-inch style" the same as 1/4" NPT?
Unstated — "style" is the complete official vocabulary, and this page won't guess a thread spec. It screws on per Hyde's video; exact designation awaits Hyde (line register 2).
Do I need thread tape?
Optional, per the official video — "put some Teflon tape on there if you want." A joint that leaks despite tape needs re-seating, not more wraps.
What pressure can it take?
Rated up to 4000 PSI (catalog family claim) — and unlike its 28-inch sibling, no outside source disputes the figure for the 40-inch wands. The rating is a ceiling; your machine sets the delivery.
Why is it 12 inches longer than the M22 wand?
Because pro guns typically carry no built-in lance (official video) — the 40 inches replace reach the consumer gun already has.
Chrome or stainless at this length?
Working behavior identical; the claimed difference is material alone. Salt, chemicals, and daily fleet duty argue stainless (trade reasoning, attributed); otherwise this is the wall's default.
Which tips fit?
Video-sourced only ("standard and spiral style"); tip-end threading is unstated — verify against your tips before relying on it.
