Ashbys 1/8 Male Threaded Brass Jet 80 03 – Genuine Replacement Jet for Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning Tools
The Ashbys 1/8 Male Threaded Brass Jet 80 03 is a genuine, high‑precision spray jet used across a wide range of professional carpet and upholstery cleaning tools. If your spray pattern has become uneven, weak or inconsistent, a worn jet is often the cause. Replacing it restores correct flow, coverage and cleaning performance, assuming your pump and jet filters are in good condition.
Understanding Jet Numbers
Each part of the jet code tells you something important about how it performs:
-
1/8 Male Thread – screws directly into standard 1/8 female threaded jet holders used on upholstery tools, stair tools and specialist hand tools
-
80 – produces an 80 degree spray pattern for wide, even coverage
-
03 – approx. 0.030 inch orifice, ideal for low‑pressure and mid‑pressure systems
This combination makes the 80 03 jet a popular choice for upholstery tools and smaller carpet cleaning tools where controlled flow and even coverage are essential.
Recommended Pressure Range
The 80 03 jet is suitable for all pump types with flow‑rate or pressure control and is usually used between 70 and 190 psi. Many higher‑pressure pumps can simply be turned down to run this jet comfortably. The 03 orifice delivers a balanced spray pattern that avoids overwetting while still providing efficient rinsing.
Why replace your jets?
- Restores a clean, even spray pattern
- Improves rinsing and soil removal
- Prevents streaking and patchy results
- Ensures consistent water flow
- Low‑cost upgrade with noticeable performance gains
Many professionals keep spare jets on hand so they can refresh their tools whenever performance drops.
