Central Water Line Washdown Stations

Complete Point-of-Use Drop-Down Kits for Hot or Cold Water Lines

Strahman Central Water Line Washdown Stations provide a complete point-of-use cleaning solution for facilities with hot or cold water distributed from a central supply line. Each kit combines a Strahman single-water hose station, industrial washdown hose, and an ergonomic Hydro-Pro 150® spray nozzle with a Swivel-Pro, making it easier to establish dependable and accessible washdown points throughout a processing or manufacturing facility.

Installed at designated locations along the facility’s water distribution line, these drop-down line kits give operators convenient access to washdown equipment wherever routine cleaning is required. They are sometimes referred to as drop-down line kits, washdown drop stations, centralized washdown stations, or point-of-use washdown stations.

A Complete Washdown Connection in One Kit

A drop-down line kit creates a dedicated washdown point from an available hot or cold water supply. Instead of selecting the station, hose, nozzle, and swivel separately, each Strahman kit packages the essential components into one defined configuration.

Use the options below to match the assembly to your facility requirements for water supply, washdown-area color practices, and required reach.

What is Included in Every Drop-Down Line Kit?

  • One M-120, M-756, or M-156N single-water hose station

  • One extruded hose assembly with 5/8-inch inside diameter and 3/4-inch male NPT connection

  • One Hydro-Pro 150® industrial spray nozzle

  • One Swivel Pro® adapter

  • Available configurations include hot-water and cold-water models; black, white, or yellow hose options; and 25-, 50-, 75-, or 100-foot hose lengths.

Choose the Right Station for Your Application

Start with the station body material and valve style required for the washdown point. All three station platforms are available as complete hot- or cold-water kits with the same range of hose lengths and color choices.

Built Around the Washdown Point

Strahman Drop-Down Line Kits are designed for facilities that need a complete hose-and-nozzle assembly connected to a single hot or cold water line. They can support washdown access in food and beverage plants, commercial kitchens, processing areas, production facilities, and other environments where dependable and accessible point-of-use cleaning equipment is required.

Because these are single-water assemblies, they differ from steam-and-cold-water mixing stations. Confirm the available water source and operating requirements before selecting a kit.

Configure Your Drop-Down Line Kit

Each product configuration is defined by four choices:

  • Station type: M-120 stainless steel ball valve, M-756 stainless steel globe valve, or M-156N bronze globe valve
  • Water service: hot water or cold water
  • Hose and nozzle color: black hose with black nozzle; white hose with white nozzle; or yellow hose with black nozzle
  • Hose length: 25, 50, 75, or 100 feet

Hot-Water and Cold-Water Configurations

Choose a kit designed for the temperature of the connected water supply. Hot- or cold-water configurations use visually differentiated station handles to help identify the service at the washdown point. Handle colors vary by station model.

Select Hose Length and Color

Choose a hose length that reaches the intended cleaning area without creating unnecessary excess hose. Drop-Down Line Kits are available with 25-, 50-, 75-, and 100-foot hose assemblies.

Black, white, and yellow hose options support facility preferences and visual organization. White hose configurations include a white Hydro-Pro 150® nozzle. Black and yellow hose configurations include a black Hydro-Pro 150® nozzle.
