Fiberglass Telescoping Wand 18' 3 Pole

The Fiberglass Telescoping Wand 18' 3 Pole reaches 18 feet from ground level and handles 4000 PSI at 8 GPM. Fiberglass outer pole, aluminum inner sections, lever locks, and a 3/8" quick connect inlet. In stock and ships same day from Sun Brite Supply in Gaithersburg, Maryland.

Product Overview

A telescoping wand is how you wash a two story house without putting a ladder against wet siding. This one collapses down to about 6-1/2 feet for transport and extends to 18 feet at full stretch, so you can work gutters, soffits, fascia, and upper siding with both boots on the driveway.

The outer section is fiberglass, which is the section that matters. Fiberglass does not conduct electricity, and when you are swinging 18 feet of pole near a service drop or an overhead line, that is not a small detail. The inner sections are aluminum to keep the total weight down where you can still control it.

Lever locks handle the height changes. You flip the lever, slide the section, and flip it back, which beats twist locks when your hands are wet and gloved. Water runs through an internal hose to a 1/4" socket at the tip, so you run the same color coded quick connect nozzles you already carry.

Key Features and Specifications

• 18 Foot Reach: 3 pole sections, collapses to roughly 6-1/2 feet for the trailer or truck bed
• Fiberglass Outer Pole: non-conductive where it counts, with 2 aluminum inner sections to hold the weight down
• 4000 PSI at 8 GPM: rated for full size contractor machines, not just small units
• Lever Locks: fast height changes with wet gloves on
• 3/8" Quick Connect Inlet: also accepts a 22mm twist connection, so it plugs into standard gun and hose setups
• 1/4" Socket Outlet: takes standard quick connect spray tips, sold separately
• 200 F Max Temperature: safe on hot water machines

Compatibility

The inlet takes a 3/8" quick connect plug, which is the standard on professional gun and hose connections, and it also accepts a 22mm twist fitting if that is what your gun uses. The tip end is a 1/4" quick connect socket, so every color coded nozzle in your tip holder works on it.

• Machine rating: up to 4000 PSI and 8 GPM, cold or hot water to 200 F
• Nozzles: standard 1/4" quick connect tips, not included
• Accessories: gutter adapters, wand belts, and pole clamps mount to the pole

One thing worth saying plainly: pick your tip for the reach, not the pressure. A tight tip at 18 feet throws water a long way and can strip paint or drive water behind siding. Most house wash work off a pole runs a wide fan or a soft wash tip.

Applications and Use Cases

• House washing on two story homes and split levels where a ladder is the slow, unsafe option
• Soffit, fascia, and eave cleaning where the angle matters more than the pressure
• Gutter face and downspout washing from the ground
• Commercial buildings with overhangs and second story storefront glass
• Solar panel and skylight rinsing where nobody should be walking the roof

Installation and Maintenance

Assemble the gun end first and check that every lever lock closes fully before you charge the line. A lock that is only half seated will let the section telescope under pressure, and catching 18 feet of falling pole is not something you want to practice.

Extend only as far as the job needs. Every section you leave collapsed is weight you are not fighting and one less joint that can flex. Guys who run these all day get in the habit of setting the pole for the wall in front of them instead of running it out full every time.

Rinse the pole with clean water at the end of the day, especially the lock areas, and especially if you are running sodium hypochlorite mix. Bleach residue crusts in the lock mechanism and that is what makes a lever lock stop holding. Store the pole collapsed and flat, not standing in a corner where it can take a set.

Check the internal hose fitting at the base every few months. It is the connection that sees the most flex, and a weep there means the hose or the o-ring needs attention before it becomes a burst at full extension.

Frequently Asked Questions

How high can I actually reach with an 18 foot telescoping wand?

The pole itself is 18 feet. Held at a working angle with your arms up, most operators get another few feet of practical reach beyond that, which puts a two story roofline and gutter within range from the ground.

Do I need a wand belt with this?

If you are on the pole more than an hour a day, yes. A belt moves the pole weight from your arms to your hips, which is the difference between finishing the day and trading off the pole every fifteen minutes.

What nozzle should I run on a telescoping wand?

Wide fan or soft wash tips for house washing. A narrow tip at height carries enough energy to strip paint and force water behind siding, and you cannot see the damage clearly from the ground until you are done.

Will this work with my pressure washer?

If your machine is at or under 4000 PSI and 8 GPM, yes. The inlet is a 3/8" quick connect plug or 22mm, which covers most professional gun and hose setups. Call us if you are running something unusual.

Is fiberglass really safer than aluminum near power lines?

Fiberglass does not conduct, aluminum does. That said, no pole is safe near an energized line, and water carries current. Keep the pole away from service drops and overhead lines, period.
