Tecomec VHP 18/160 Unloader Valve – Pressure Regulator for Pressure Washer

The Tecomec VHP 18/160 unloader valve is a high-quality pressure regulating valve designed for professional and industrial pressure washers.
It controls water pressure automatically and diverts flow to bypass when the trigger gun is closed. This protects the pump, reduces overheating, and extends machine life.

Manufactured in Italy using heavy-duty brass construction, the valve delivers stable performance in demanding cleaning applications such as workshops, factories, agriculture, municipalities, and car wash stations.

Technical Specifications

How It Works

When the operator releases the spray gun trigger, the valve redirects water flow to bypass instead of forcing pressure back to the pump.
This prevents:

• Pump damage

• Pressure spikes

• Seal wear

• Motor overload

As a result, your pressure washer operates smoother and lasts longer.

Applications

• Industrial cleaning

• Car wash systems

• Agricultural washing

• Heavy equipment cleaning

• Workshop maintenance

• Municipal cleaning machines

Why Choose This Valve

Using a proper unloader valve is essential for protecting high-pressure pumps. The VHP 18/160 ensures reliable performance, safety, and longer equipment lifespan — especially for continuous operation machines.
