The SuperKlean 8000GM-S DuraMix Stainless Steel Steam & Cold Water Hose Station is rated number one in efficiency and safety by leading steam industry experts. This complete mixing station produces hot water instantly by combining steam and cold water, delivering economical washdown with little to no maintenance.
Engineered with safety as the top priority, the DuraMix 8000 features an automatic shutoff that prevents live steam from passing through the unit if water pressure fails. The unique internal design does not allow live steam to leak into the hose station, nozzle, or hose—making this the safest steam mixing unit available. Plant Safety Managers worldwide rate the DuraMix 8000 as the safest steam unit on the market.
The 8000GM-S operates with as little as 30 PSI for both water and steam pressure, all the way up to 150 PSI without the need to change internal components. This wide operating range makes installation and operation simple across diverse facility configurations—a capability many competitors cannot match.
The strategic dual output design features a primary outlet at the bottom for hose and nozzle connection, plus a secondary outlet at the top for hard pipe installation to sinks, showers, or other areas requiring hot water. This allows a single unit to supply two terminals with hot water, drastically reducing energy costs by providing 24/7 hot water availability.
Every 8000GM-S ships complete with everything necessary for immediate installation and connection to pipelines. Simple maintenance takes only 15 minutes to complete, minimizing downtime during routine preventive service.

The 8000GM-S excels in food processing plants, beverage production, pharmaceutical manufacturing, dairy operations, meat processing facilities, chocolate and confectionary production, and any industrial sanitation application requiring steam-generated hot water. The all-stainless-steel construction provides superior corrosion resistance for the most demanding environments and meets the highest sanitary standards.
For applications requiring temperature monitoring, add the optional stainless steel temperature gauge (see model 8000GM-S-T) to verify water temperature at a glance during washdown procedures. For bronze construction at a lower cost, see the 8000GM-B series.
FAQ
What pressure range does the 8000GM-S operate at? The 8000GM-S operates with steam and water pressures from as low as 30 PSI up to 150 PSI without changing internal components—a wider range than many competitors offer.
What safety features does the DuraMix 8000 have? The DuraMix 8000 features automatic shutoff that closes the steam poppet if water pressure fails, preventing live steam from passing through the unit. The internal design also prevents steam from leaking into the hose or nozzle.
What is the dual output design on the 8000GM-S? The dual output design provides a primary outlet at the bottom for hose connection and a secondary outlet at the top for piping to other areas like sinks or showers, allowing one unit to supply hot water to two locations.
What temperature can the 8000GM-S produce? The 8000GM-S can produce hot water up to 200°F (93°C) by mixing steam and cold water to achieve your required temperature output.
How long does maintenance take on the 8000GM-S? Preventive maintenance on the DuraMix 8000 takes only 15 minutes to complete, minimizing downtime.
What is the warranty on the 8000GM-S? The 8000GM-S comes with a 3-year warranty—the longest in the industry for steam mixing stations.
Can I add a temperature gauge to the 8000GM-S? Yes, for built-in temperature monitoring, order model 8000GM-S-T which includes an adjustable angle stainless steel temperature gauge.
Why choose stainless steel over bronze? 304 stainless steel construction provides superior corrosion resistance and meets the highest sanitary standards required in pharmaceutical, food processing, and other demanding environments.
