my little hot box is for little flat cleaning .i dont do much flat work maybe a sidewalk or driveway .a hot box isnt good for comercial work .plus i use on vinyl when needed .i do decks 99% of the timeNavigator7 said:Wow.....980K Btu....is nearly 30 Hp.
Excuse my ignorance......but what is the intent and purpose of a hot box?
Is it used in conjunction with a PW?
Is this a custom application?
I assume the 400' of 3/4" schd 80 is pipe rolled into a coil?
Is it possible a guy could steam piles of sand and gravel with this unit????

the little box attatches to my cold water unit .it wont work witout a pressure washer .when i pull the trigger it kicks on for instant hot.runs on diesel .range from 4 gpms to 10 gpms .water temp goes from 100 to 245 gegree.it has a beckett burner.its all i need fr what i doNavigator7 said:Allow me to make sure I'm not confusing a Hot Box with a steamer.
I've not heard the term before.
I see your nice unit at the start of the thread.
It looks to me to be a Hot/cold unit. Is that the hot box or is something else there I don't recognize?
The pic of the red hot box looked to me as a stand alone unit and I was trying to make the connection to a 30 Hp steamer...or is it hot water.
Is Hot Box slang for a steamer unit or something different?

The “hot box†name refers to a stand-alone or add-on device to heat water coming from a pressure washer. A hot water pressure washer has an attached burner that is incorporated into the pump cycles directly.
I suppose you could steam piles of sand or gravel but you sure would need a lot of water & fuel!
