Chris f they call those two bangers, call the power wash store and they will hook you up. they also make three banger and quad banger. i use the quad all the time. one stream tip, two fan tips and a very low volume tip to get railing on a deck without over spraying too much on the grass. unfortunatly the whole set up with cost around 50 bucks

o i was talking about picture 8 never mind then haha but for the height we carry one of those adjustable a-frame ladders around and extend that up climb up and get an extra 10 ft.... i think Chris M has a better idea but both work
Do any of you guys have 3-4 story homes to wash?
Have a hard time getting up to the peaks?
I have been working allot in Charleston SC, and the homes
are Taller than what I am used to in my area.
Here is my solution to getting up high with a soft wash
cleaning setup.
I have a QC on my ball valve, and on my extension wand.
This allows me to quickly disconnect the normal wand, and attach
a 10' piece of 1/2" black pipe from Home Depot.
Is it heavy? Yes but it is actually not bad when you get used to it.
I also have Pressure washing extensions I can add to the end of the 10'
black pipe if I need to get Waaayyyy up there.
In the past I just used the 72" pressure washing extension, but found
that because of it's very small inner dia. it lost allot of flow, which in turn
caused a loss in distance. Now with the 1/2" dia pipe I loose no flow and get
the same distance as I get from my wand.
* Pic1 - Ball valve and Regular wand both with 3/8" QC
* Pic2 - 10' 1/2" black pipe end with 3/8" qc for attachment to Ball Valve
* Pic3 - 10' 1/2" black pipe end with 1/4" qc for attachment "two banger"
Hope this helps some of you guys out.

We use aluminum poles for that extra reach. Much lighter.
Ooops not sure hoiw that buck got there.

I have some aluminum and stainless extensions (Much lighter) that I use for the extra reach
on a roof from a ladder.
The 10' extension I explain here is for Ground Use Only, (House Washing) It is strong and sturdy.
Do not try and take this on a ladder, chances are you will fall.
The PW extensions are lighter but TOO small of a restriction for the required flow, and get Way
to wobbly starting at 59" and up. You can not control them very well.
This wands best use is for softwashing homes I have attached pictures below.
I have some fittings pictured below that I use as well.
