Designed to Keep Going
The Centurion P8 does more than just deliver massive power - it's built to run cool, quiet and all day long without breaking a sweat. The belt drive system keeps the pump decoupled from the engine or motor, cutting down on vibration and letting it run at a nice 1,450 RPM. Less vibration and less heat buildup mean less maintenance down the line.
It's perfect for:
-
Big commercial cleaning ops
-
Fleets and equipment washing
-
Ag and food processing facilities
-
Construction and concrete cleaning
-
Manufacturing and facility maintenance
-
Car washes and mobile detailing systems
This pump's built to take a beating and keep going - day in and day out.
What You Get
Triplex Ceramic Plunger System
The P8 has a triplex plunger design that makes sure you get a smooth, steady water flow. The plungers are made from ceramic, which is great at resisting corrosion and wear - it means your seals and valves will last longer.
Nickel-Plated Brass Manifold
Unlike regular brass or aluminum manifolds, the nickel-plated brass manifold is super resistant to corrosion - even when you're using detergents or slightly caustic solutions. It's durable and precise - perfect for the job.
External Unloader System
The external unloader lets you adjust water pressure and bypass flow - so you can fine tune the pump for any job. And when it's time to service or replace it, the external design makes it a piece of cake.
Adjustable Soap Injector
The built-in adjustable soap injector lets you fine tune your detergent application - perfect for cleaning cars, buildings or heavy machinery. Switch between high-pressure rinse and soap easily.
Thermal Relief Valve Protection
The P8's got thermal relief valve protection - so you don't have to worry about overheating. To protect internal seals from heat damage.
The P8 comes equipped with a thermal relief valve (85.300.024) that instantly kicks in to release overheated water when the system goes into bypass mode. This clever system self-regulates water temperatures to keep them safely within operating limits - even during prolonged periods of inactivity.
Giving you Long Service Intervals
That's thanks to an impressive 32 fl oz oil capacity in the P8's oil-bath crankcase. This ensures continuous lubrication and efficient cooling, with 30W non-detergent oil providing clean, consistent lubrication that doesn't foam. This all adds up to oil changes that are significantly less frequent and maintenance intervals that are a whole lot longer.
Smoother, Quieter, Low-RPM Operation
One of the big advantages of the P8's belt drive system is its ability to run smoothly at just 1,450 RPM. As opposed to those direct drive pumps that spin at over double that speed, this low RPM design means the P8 is:
-
Easier on bearings, seals and plungers - reducing wear and tear.
-
Cooler running, even after long periods of hard work.
-
Less prone to vibration - which reduces stress on the engine or frame.
-
Quieter still, making it perfect for indoor or urban cleaning jobs.
All this together means the P8 performs well out of the box and goes on to perform consistently over the years - making it one of the lowest maintenance costs in its class.
Precision Craftsmanship & High-Grade Materials
Every Centurion pump is the result of meticulous engineering and decades of pump manufacturing expertise. The P8 (CTB1S) model takes this expertise to the next level:
-
The crankshaft is precision-machined for perfectly balanced rotation.
-
The connecting rods are hardened for long-term durability.
-
The seals and valves are high quality and made from heat resistant materials.
-
The manifold is nickel plated brass for extra corrosion protection.
-
The plungers are ceramic and designed to withstand high temperatures and abrasion.
All these features come together to give the P8 years of consistent, professional-grade performance - with minimal downtime and low maintenance costs.
Built to Work with Belt Drive Power Systems
The Centurion P8's 24 mm solid shaft is compatible with a wide range of pulleys and couplers for belt-driven configurations. This gives you the flexibility to use it with gas engines or electric motors - making it perfect for mobile pressure washer trailers or stationary industrial cleaning systems.
Benefits of Using a Belt Drive Configuration:
-
It isolates engine and pump vibration - reducing stress on both.
-
It reduces heat buildup - extending seal and bearing life.
-
It allows for lower pump RPM - extending service intervals.
-
It makes alignment adjustments and serviceability a breeze.
Whether you're running a high-torque electric motor or a 13-20 HP gas engine, the P8 delivers smooth, consistent performance under continuous operation.

Easy Maintenance & Servicing
While the P8 is engineered for long service life, easy maintenance is at the core of its design. This makes it easy to perform fast, straightforward service when needed:
-
Check the oil level before each use and replace it after the first 50 hours, then every 500 hours or quarterly.
-
Inspect the drive belts for proper tension and wear.
-
Make sure the thermal relief valve is working properly to prevent overheating.

Its low-RPM belt drive design offers extended run time and efficiency, while the triplex ceramic plunger system guarantees steady and reliable water flow.When put up against direct drive systems, belt drive pumps like the P8 regularly outlast them by 2–3 times, making them a go-to choice for daily-use equipment and stationary systems.
The Lowdown on the P8:
-
4,000 PSI of pressure - plenty of grunt for heavy-duty cleaning jobs.
-
4.0 GPM flow - steady, reliable performance from this pump.
-
Belt drive design reduces RPM, noise and wear and tear on the pump.
-
A nickel-plated brass manifold keeps corrosion at bay.
