Additional Information

The Briggs & Stratton, Craftsman Unloader Valve Kit (part number 187879GS) helps regulate water pressure in your pressure washer by diverting water through the pump when the spray wand isn t in use. This protects the pump from pressure buildup and overheating. It replaces part numbers 187224GS, 187227GS, 187797GS, 97846GS, B1253GS, and DP187879.

If your pressure washer isn t building pressure or the spray pattern is inconsistent, replacing the unloader valve may help restore proper function. This kit includes the parts needed to swap out a damaged or worn valve and get your washer running smoothly again.

Before starting, disconnect power to the pressure washer and release any built-up pressure. Use a screwdriver, wrench, and pliers to remove the old valve and install the new one. Wear work gloves to protect your hands during the repair. Always follow safety instructions in your service manual for model-specific steps.
