Use JB Weld to fix electric pressure washer pump manifold?

Q. the manifold for the pump is cracked. will this product work? trying to save $30 from buying a new one. this is a 1600 psi washer.


Answer
Like one of the post mentioned - you didn't say if the manifold was plastic or metal.

If its plastic, try this - take 80-120 grit sandpaper and roughen the surface - you need a rough surface for the adhesive to "bite" to - the more surface the better. Get a fiberglass repair kit - one that has the fiberglass cloth and epoxy. Mix an appropriate amount of the resin, and put a thin coat on the roughened surface, and push in an appropriately sized piece of the glass cloth. Let it cure, then roughen it slightly and repeat with another layer. Two layers of this stuff should more than handle the pressure and keep the part together.

If its metal, use a Dremel with a grinding/cutting wheel to score a little bit on either side, and the use the JB weld. Extend it across at least 1/2" and let the stuff cure at least 24 hours - preferably longer. I've had this stuff on a lot of things, and as long as you get an appropriate thickness of the stuff, it'll hold metal together very, very well.

how do pressure washers work?

What creates the pressure for inlet to outlet what creates the heat on hot water pressure washers how does the electrical part work


Answer
Inside a pressure washer a piston pump is driven by either an electric motor or a gas engine; this makes it possible to force a given quantity of water through a small hole called a nozzle fitted to the end of a lance.
