PMF
PMF build the parts of a machine the operator actually holds. The valve, the wand and the upholstery tool are where pressure, weight and balance are felt, and they are the components most likely to be replaced before the machine is.
The range CCW carries is deliberately weighted to serviceability — almost every valve and tool has a repair kit behind it, which is why PMF gear tends to stay in the van rather than the bin.
It includes the V800-EZ wand valve with handle and its stem and seal repair kits, the older V800 kit, the brass 500 psi V124, the V4N HyDry Deluxe and repair kits covering the V, V1245 and V4N series; Mach 12 and Mach 15 titanium wands in 1.5 inch 4-jet and 2 inch 5-jet with Teflon glides included; and upholstery tools in 3.5 and 4.5 inch, 500 psi, with internal or external jets in plastic and stainless steel heads, including the HyDry Deluxe.
How to choose
Internal or external jets change how the tool behaves. Internal jets sit inside the head and keep overspray down on delicate fabric. External jets are easier to clear and inspect. Both are 500 psi here — it is a working preference, not a rating difference.
Plastic or stainless head is a weight and durability trade. Stainless survives being dropped and cleans up better on greasy work. Plastic is lighter through a long day of upholstery.
Buy the repair kit with the valve. A V800-EZ will need a seal or stem kit eventually, and the two kits fix different faults — jets weeping points to the seal kit, stem leaking or a spongy trigger points to the stem kit.
Titanium wands are about fatigue, not strength. The Mach range is chosen for weight over a full day rather than for toughness. If your operators are doing volume residential work, that difference compounds.
