Engineered for the Pros Who Demand More

When the job calls for tough, the Centurion P4 answers. With 4.2 gallons per minute of flow and a maximum pressure of 4400 PSI, this pump has got it all - the perfect balance between volume and force. That means it's perfect for washing big equipment, concrete, fleets, and heavy machinery.

It's built around a triplex piston design - three ceramic plungers moving in smooth sync to generate consistent high-pressure water flow. Ceramic construction beats steel hands down for resisting heat, corrosion, and wear.

The brass manifold and forged aluminium crankcase deliver the strength you need - plus minimal vibration and wear, and the Centurion P4 is one of the most durable and stable triplex pumps out there.

Precision Meets Longevity

The Centurion P4’s triplex design is the best - a crankshaft-driven piston system for superior performance, longer life and smoother operation. Unlike those axial pumps that just use a simple wobble plate, this pump's got the sophistication of automotive tech.

Each ceramic plunger moves through tight seals to keep the pressure up and the leaks down, while the oversized bearings distribute stress evenly. The result is a pump that not just performs well but lasts longer, even when used all day every day.

And the direct-drive design means it plugs into a 1" gas engine shaft with no fuss, making for a compact, efficient setup with fewer moving parts.

Built-In Adjustable Unloader

The P4’s built-in pressure unloader is one of its handiest features - with an easy to use quick-adjust control knob, you can dial in your PSI to suit your cleaning needs - no matter what you're washing.

The unloader automatically diverts water when you release the trigger gun, reducing stress on the pump and stopping it from overheating. And since it’s built in, you don’t need to worry about plumbing or leak points.

With this pump you get a reliable system that can handle anything from delicate surface cleaning to heavy-duty industrial washing - and it’s easy to set up, too.The fixed soap injector makes applying detergents or degreasers to your pressure washer a whole lot easier. By sucking in cleaning chemicals right into the low-pressure water stream, the P4 gives you a serious boost in cleaning power when it comes to oil, grime, and stains - which is a must if you're working with vehicle detailing, equipment maintenance or industrial cleaning.

This means a lot less hassle and waste of time getting rid of nasty buildup on equipment or vehicles. Combining the P4's high-pressure output with that powerful injection feature, even the most hardcore grime doesn't stand a chance.

Stacked Power in a Tiny Package

The Centurion P4's got the design to deliver major cleaning power in a compact form. Because the pump is right there bolted to the gas engine's shaft, you don't need all sorts of belts, pulleys or gear reductions - just plain old mechanical efficiency.

This means:

  • Less clunking and rattling around

  • Better power efficiency

  • Easier setup

  • Cut your maintenance costs down

Perfect for mobile wash rigs, building sites, or service vans that need a whole lot of cleaning power on the go, this pump packs professional power into a lightweight 14 lb frame that's easy to move and mount.

Overheat Protection for Long Life

The included thermal relief valve (85.300.022) is an absolute essential for protecting your pump from overheating. When you've got the trigger gun shut and water's recirculating through the pump, things can get hot fast. But the thermal relief valve kicks in automatically to dump out the hot water and bring in cooler stuff from the inlet - keeping things running safely.

All this means a longer-lasting pump, protects the seals from damage, and makes sure you get steady performance even with heavy use.

Built for Tough Use

The Centurion P4 is built to handle whatever you throw at it. Even with water temperatures of up to 140°F (60°C), it keeps on trucking. And with a high-pressure capable big brass manifold - which resists corrosion and pitting - you've got a pump that can take the heat.

The precision-machined internal parts are built to keep their tolerances under the high pressure, and the crankcase is filled with 30W non-detergent oil that keeps everything running cool and lubricated - even in the long sessions.

Every single component has been chosen with the long-term prospects of the operation in mind - so you know it'll keep on going for years to come.

Made for the Pros

The Centurion P4 is designed for pros who need reliable, high-powered cleaning on the job. With a flow rate of 4.2 GPM, you can clean faster and more effectively, and the 4400 PSI pressure cuts through grime and grease with ease.

Some of the Jobs This Thing's Made for:

  • Washing large fleets of vehicles

  • Cleaning heavy equipment

  • Maintenance and repair for agricultural machinery

  • Bringing old buildings and concrete back to life

  • Cleaning factories and industrial spaces

  • Keeping construction sites tidy and clean

  • Removing graffiti

  • Preparing surfaces for painting or coating

This pump lasts in the toughest conditions where other units would fail. It's built to perform day in and day out, no matter the weather or the job.

Strength Meets Efficiency

Every time the Centurion P4's pistons go through their stroke cycle, you get a smooth, consistent and efficient flow of water. The triplex crankshaft system makes sure there's less vibration, steady pressure and less energy lost - which means a smoother ride all round and less wear on your pressure washer system.

Since the pump runs at 3450 RPM, it plays perfectly with those commercial engines like Honda GX390, Powerease 420, Kohler CH440 and Briggs & Stratton XR Professional series. Putting it in is a breeze, and the result is a pump-engine combo that delivers pro-grade results all day long.

Easy Maintenance All the Way

Every bit of the Centurion P4 has been made to last, but it's still worth taking care of your pump to keep it running at its best. The oil fill port lets you in for fast, mess-free service, and the 16 fl oz crankcase capacity gives you a whole lot of lubrication to handle the heat and friction from all that heavy use.

Regular oil changes using 30W non-detergent oil keep your internal components running smoothly, the built-in unloader and thermal relief valve reduces mechanical stress, and prevents overheating, so long-term maintenance costs are way down.

Replacement seals, valves and plungers are all super accessible and user-serviceable, giving you years of continued performance with minimal downtime.

Top-Grade Materials For Top-Grade Results

Every single material used in the Centurion P4 has been picked for its strength, precision and reliability:

  • Ceramic Plungers: Can take the heat and wear and tear of heavy use without breaking down.

  • Brass Manifold: Resists corrosion and pitting, and handles high pressure with ease - even under thermal stress.

  • Hardened Steel Crankshaft: Precise machining ensures balance and smooth running.

  • High-Quality Seals and Bearings: Reduce friction and wear - and make sure you don't have leaks.

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.
