I’m an electrician by trade and after all this I would just cut the cord down and do a solder joint in a section of cord and cover with a cold or heat shrink.

[@johndunnington]

Man, I was looking for this exact video for when I wall mount the new Kranzle. I've never done much soldering but, this seems simple enough. Thanks again! 🙏🏼

[@johnomahoney7755]

I live with The longer cord!

[@danielkatani612]

Have you heard of this reducing the wattage that is required to run this by shortening the cord?

[@autofanaticcars]

never had an issue shortening this cord

[@milanjurich1526]

Looks a heck of a lot cleaner than the splices I’ve seen Matt make!

[@autofanaticcars]

I never saw his version but I did send him this video a week ago and he liked it.

[@milanjurich1526]

Auto Fanatic visualize cutting out a section of wire and splicing the 2 remaining pieces together.

[@autofanaticcars]

with wire nuts or something? yeah i think what i did is the best idea and method doing it at the machine is a PITA and would have taken 3 times longer

[@gtvic2010]

I think having a short cord option from factory makes the most sense.

[@autofanaticcars]

yes just like you can specify on some polishing tools standard and extra long as an option

[@KenseisGarage]

Great stuff man, was thinking of doing something like this on my SJ, again great content as always. 👍

[@autofanaticcars]

go for it, plugs can be annoying

[@DaddyoftheMack]

I believe Matt shortened a power cord on Troy Sowers custom install.

[@autofanaticcars]

yeah even for the shelf mounted installs its a must to shorten the cords on these for a cleaner install. I just could not stand the extra length which I did not ever need, removing 5 feet makes it more manageable to coil

[@FourT6and22]

I've been thinking of ripping out the plug from the actual pressure unit itself, and installing an IEC socket so I can disconnect the power cord. Seems much easier that way. I'm guessing it isn't like that from the factory because you don't want water getting in there.

[@autofanaticcars]

yeah i am going to make a quick connect cord option soon once i source the right parts for the job

[@FourT6and22]

@@autofanaticcars Try Mouser. They got everything.

[@autofanaticcars]

yes i just need to sit down and sift through what i want exactly we buy from them all the time

[@sportscarnut]

Shouldn't the bridge (which is a pulling relief retainer) be pressed over the outer black insulation, not just the trio of wires?

[@autofanaticcars]

it is just hard to see with the lighting so bright, it aint going anywhere

[@Ollila11]

It should be always be over outer insulation. It's dangerous otherwise.

[@autofanaticcars]

the way plugs are made at the factory they are heated up and put into a press to crimp the outer jacket so the bridge can fit without any real tension, the bridge is thin plastic not metal. That is not possible to do by hand safely, if you force the bridge to crush the jacket it will crack the entire case, i have had this happen before so what I do is i slice some of the jacket and remove the fiberglass filler core for more space and push a small section up under the bridge to protect the wires, works fine, safe and will never crack the case FYI. Also you are not suppose to ever pull on these plugs no idea why anyone would even attempt to because the wire will crack outside the plug over time and short out easily as the jacket is so stiff it would become brittle.

[@MaXGTS1]

Obsessive Garage told me this would void the warranty. Any thoughts?

[@SWAGURA]

What annoys me about the kranzle is that its rated at 15amp yet matt says to have a 20 amp socket for the foam cannon, my outside outlet is 15 amps and I am not gonna sit here and pay someone to put a 20 amp outlet when this unit rates at 15 makes no sense, is it 15 amps or 20 amps?

[@autofanaticcars]

my outlet is 15amps no issues at all, my 1122 i had years ago would pop the breaker all the time but i think that machine was defective i got it off Ebay so who knows. I do not think youll have an issue with your 15amp unless your circuit is tied into your laundry room or kitchen appliances

[@musicguitar]

Lol don’t believe everything you hear. Trust your instincts.

[@traviswhite9674]

Matt says 20A because of the 1.25mm orifice used on the MTM PF22 Foam Canon which puts some stress on the pressure washer.

[@lopezg2009]

We want the true

[@bradc5633]

Incredible content as always.. many thanks!

[@Ollila11]

Would the machine end be easier to reconnect wires?

[@autofanaticcars]

no way

[@Ollila11]

@@autofanaticcars Euro cable have two spade and ring connector in machine end. And some models have screw terminal inside connection box. It would be much easier to reconnect, just crimp new spades. And pg passthrough in not a problem. Is us kränzle how much different from euro models?

[@xJuanGarciax]

Its literally 2 screws on the motor housing to take it off on the motor side.... This guy cut the cord in half lol

[@HutchDesigns]

Is there any major differences between the kransle K1122TST and the k1322ts?

[@autofanaticcars]

yes entirely different units look them both up

[@SWAGURA]

1122tst: 1400 psi and 2.0gpm 1322tst: 1300 psi at 2.1gpm both are the same exact pump, just work at different outputs.

[@musicguitar]

Hello AutoFanatic AKA Mad Scientist. Are you still using the Kranzle. I remember in a separate video you mentioned you were experimenting with a different pressure washer system. One that may be better than the Kranzle.

[@UaeDelta]

Oh boy, U.S plugs *cringe* Good stuff very informative.

[@autofanaticcars]

yeah this plug is so stiff and hard to manage i had to make some sort of mod to help with the coiling
