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.

Frequently Asked Questions about Pressure Washers

How to store a pressure washer?

To ensure the durability of your heavy duty pressure washer:

  • Empty the gas tank to prevent fuel from degrading or clogging the engine.
  • Empty the pump and hoses of any remaining water.
  • Perform necessary maintenance before storage.
  • Store in a dry area.
  • Cover.

What is a pressure washer?

A power washer is a cleaning machine that uses a gasoline engine to power a high pressure water pump and nozzle. It’s used to clean driveways, decks, vehicles, outdoor furniture and more by spraying water at high PSI to remove dirt, grime, mold and other debris.Many models also come with a detergent tank for added cleaning power.

How does a power washer work?

A power washer works by drawing water from a connected hose and pumping it through a high pressure nozzle. The gas engine powers the pump which pressurizes the water and then expels it through the nozzle at high speed to clean the surface. The water pressure is measured in PSI (pounds per square inch) and the flow rate is measured in GPM (gallons per minute).Many models also feature adjustable water pressure settings to cater to different cleaning needs. BE makes pressure washing easy with models available for light jobs and heavy duty commercial cleaning projects.

Gas vs Electric power washers?

The main difference is that a gas pressure washer, known for its cleaning power, is powered by a gasoline engine, making it more powerful and portable, while an electric pressure washer is powered by electricity and is generally quieter and lighter.

Gas pressure washers are for heavy duty and large areas due to their durability, whereas electric pressure washers are for smaller jobs.

Your BE electric pressure washer is perfect for smaller jobs and built for portability, and we offer a wide range of electric models. Included with our electric models is a long extension cord for use anywhere around your house.

What to consider?

When choosing a gas pressure washer consider:

  • Pressure (PSI): More PSI means more cleaning power but also more potential for damaging delicate surfaces.
  • Flow Rate (GPM): More GPM means faster cleaning as more water is dispensed.
  • Engine Power: Bigger engines mean more durability and power.
  • Portability: Weight, handle design and wheel size for easier to move.
  • Nozzles: Multiple spray nozzles to adjust the spray pattern for different tasks.
  • Adjustable Nozzle: Allows for fine-tuning the spray intensity and pattern for various cleaning needs.

How much pressure do I need for?

The required pressure (PSI) and cleaning power depend on the surface you’re cleaning:

  • Light duty (car washing, outdoor furniture): 1,300-1,800 PSI.
  • Medium duty (patios, fences, decks): 2,000-3,000 PSI.
  • Heavy duty (driveways, brick walls, large equipment): 3,000+ PSI.

Many pressure washers come with adjustable pressure settings to handle different cleaning tasks effectively.

Can a pressure washing damage surfaces?

Yes, a power washer can damage surfaces if used incorrectly. High pressure water can strip paint, dent soft surfaces or even cause structural damage if the pressure is too high or the nozzle is held too close to the surface. Always use the right PSI for the material you’re cleaning and keep a safe distance from delicate surfaces.

To prevent damage, consider using a model with adjustable pressure settings.

How to maintain your pressure washer?

To ensure the durability and smooth operation of a pressure washer:

  • Change the oil as per manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Clean or replace the air filter to ensure good airflow.
  • Inspect and clean the nozzle regularly to prevent clogs.
  • Drain the gas tank if you’re storing the washer for a long time.
  • Check the hoses for leaks or damage and replace them if needed.
  • Follow regular maintenance requirements to keep the washer in optimal condition.

Can I use a pressure washer in cold weather and low water temperature?

You can use a pressure washer in cold weather but it’s more difficult. The water flow rate in the hoses and pump can freeze and damage the equipment. If you plan to use your pressure washer in cold temperatures make sure to winterize it and store it in a warm area when not in use. You can also use anti-freeze solutions for pressure washers.

Some models are designed to use hot water, which can be particularly effective for cleaning in cold weather.
