Recommended & application context:

• Food production areas, laboratories, bakeries, slaughterhouses, warehouses where there is a need to rinse or connect a hose directly to the handle.
• Perfect for applications where the operator needs to work standing up or at height, with a long handle (1025 mm) for easy reach.
• Ideal for use with a water-passage squeegee, washing head or brush, allowing water to be supplied via the handle itself.
• Thanks to its 31 mm diameter, it offers good robustness and compatibility with many standard fittings/tips in the Vikan range.
• Be careful not to exceed the maximum pressure of 6 bar, otherwise there is a risk of damaging the fitting or the handle.
• Do not use concentrated acids or highly corrosive chlorine (some retailers indicate “Do not use acid or chlorine” for certain Vikan models with water passage).
• Rinse thoroughly after use if chemicals have been used, in order to keep the handle in good condition (aluminum + brass + plastic).
• Check the compatibility of the pipe/seal fittings during installation.
• When the handle is attached to a tool (squeegee, brush), ensure that the assembly is secure and that water does not leak from the connection.
