DESCRIPTION
3,200 PSI 5.5 GPM Cold Water Gas Pressure Washer with Honda GX390 Engine and CP Belt Drive Triplex Pump on Aluminum Frame
The BE Power Equipment B3213HABAS is an industrial-grade cold water gas pressure washer delivering 3,200 PSI at 5.5 GPM, combining a belt drive system, a CP CTB4S P8 industrial triplex pump, and a lightweight 088A Aluminum Belt Drive Dealer Frame in a portable platform designed for demanding commercial and industrial cleaning. At 5.5 GPM, the B3213HABAS delivers the highest flow rate of any standard-frame unit in the BE cold water gas pressure washer range.
The belt drive system runs the pump at 1,450 RPM — significantly lower than direct drive configurations — reducing heat buildup, minimizing wear, and extending pump service life under continuous operation. Paired with the P8 industrial pump class, the B3213HABAS is engineered for operators who need sustained high-volume cleaning performance in a portable, easy-to-transport package.
The aluminum frame reduces overall machine weight compared to steel frame alternatives while providing corrosion resistance for long-term outdoor use. Whether you're cleaning industrial equipment, agricultural machinery, vehicles, concrete surfaces, or maintaining commercial facilities, the B3213HABAS is built to perform where dependable, long-running equipment is essential.
Built for Demanding Industrial Cleaning
The B3213HABAS is classified as an Industrial series pressure washer, suited for high-frequency, continuous-duty commercial and industrial cleaning applications including:
- Commercial and industrial facility maintenance
- Agricultural and heavy equipment cleaning
- Fleet and vehicle washing
- Concrete, stone, and hard surface cleaning
- Construction site cleanup and surface preparation
With 3,200 PSI and 5.5 GPM, this unit excels at rinsing, surface cleaning, and large-area washing where high water volume is as important as pressure.
Features
Honda GX390 Engine
At the heart of the B3213HABAS is the Honda GX390 389cc recoil start engine, a commercial-grade overhead valve engine known for durability, consistent output, and long service life. The high-torque output is well suited for sustained belt drive operation. Key engine features include:
- Reliable recoil start and smooth operation
- High-torque output for continuous belt drive applications
- Automatic low-oil shutdown to protect the engine
- Fuel-efficient OHV design for extended runtime
- 6.1 L / 1.6 GAL fuel tank for extended operation between refueling
The Honda GX390 engine is covered under Honda's separate engine warranty program.
Belt Drive System for Extended Pump Life
The B3213HABAS uses a gas belt drive system to power the CP triplex pump, running the pump at 1,450 RPM — less than half the operating RPM of direct drive configurations. This lower pump speed delivers meaningful advantages for continuous-duty use:
- Reduced heat buildup during extended operation
- Lower pump wear for extended service life
- Smoother, more consistent pressure output at high flow rates
- Improved reliability for high-frequency industrial cleaning
Industrial-Grade CP CTB4S Triplex Pump with External Unloader
Paired with the Honda engine via the belt drive system is an industrial-grade CP CTB4S P8 class triplex pump with external unloader and adjustable injector. Key pump features include:
- P8 industrial pump class for high-frequency, high-demand cleaning applications
- Belt drive operation at 1,450 RPM for reduced wear and extended service life
- Thermal relief valve to prevent overheating during extended bypass operation
- Smooth, consistent pressure and flow delivery at 3,200 PSI and 5.5 GPM
External Unloader with Adjustable Injector
The external unloader regulates water flow and pressure when the trigger gun is released, keeping the pump cool during bypass operation. The adjustable injector allows detergent concentration to be dialled in to match different surfaces and cleaning applications, giving you greater flexibility than a fixed injector configuration.
088A Aluminum Belt Drive Frame
The B3213HABAS is built on the 088A Aluminum Belt Drive Dealer Frame — the same proven aluminum belt drive platform used on the B4213HABAS, engineered to house the belt drive system while reducing overall machine weight compared to steel frame alternatives. Aluminum construction resists corrosion for long-term use in outdoor and wet environments. The frame includes onboard storage for the hose, wand, and nozzles, with stabilizing feet for stable operation.
50-Foot x 3/8" Steel Braided High-Pressure Hose
The included 50' x 3/8" QC single wire braided rubber hose provides durability and extended reach for cleaning large areas without repositioning the machine. The 3/8" diameter supports the full 5.5 GPM flow rate of this unit.
36" Insulated Spray Wand and Trigger Gun
A 36" QC insulated spray wand provides reach and control for high, low, and hard-to-reach cleaning angles. The insulated design reduces heat transfer to the operator during prolonged use, and the quick-connect system makes nozzle changes fast and straightforward.
4 Quick-Connect Spray Nozzles
Four quick-connect nozzles cover a full range of cleaning applications:
- 15°: Heavy-duty cleaning and surface stripping
- 25°: General-purpose washing
- 40°: Rinsing or cleaning delicate surfaces
- Soap: Applying detergents and degreasers through the adjustable injector
12" Ultra Premium Flat-Free Tires
The 12" Ultra Premium flat-free tires roll easily over gravel, dirt, and uneven terrain without requiring air inflation, improving portability and jobsite mobility.
Safety Features
- Automatic low-oil shutdown: Turns off the engine if oil drops below a safe operating level
- Thermal relief valve: Releases built-up heat from the pump during extended idle or bypass operation

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.
Do I need any accessories?
Common accessories for power washers:
- Different nozzles (0°, 15°, 25°, 40°, and soap nozzle) to adjust spray patterns.
- Extension wands for hard to reach areas.
- Surface cleaners for large flat areas like driveways and decks.
- Hose reels to store hoses neatly and prevent tangling.
- Foam cannon or detergent bottles for soap or cleaning solutions.
- Detergents for cleaning a wide variety of surfaces.
