Karcher Pressure Washer Metal Fork9.039-148.0

What does the metal fork do in pressure washers?

The metal fork connects the spray gun to the nozzle or lance extension and allows control of the flow and direction of the pressurised water. It acts as a conduit for the water to pass through, ensuring that it reaches the desired target with the right force and precision.

How do they become faulty? 

Faults can occur in the metal fork from prolonged use, including exposure to high-pressure water and contact with debris, which can lead to metal fatigue, corrosion, or weakening. 

Accidental impacts or mishandling of the pressure washer can cause bending or fractures in the metal fork. Additionally, blockages or clogs from dirt, debris, or mineral deposits can obstruct the water flow and affect the spray pattern.
