For years, the DN10 ball valve has been the undisputed standard in the pressure washing industry. Ask almost any professional contractor what valve they rely on, and the answer has consistently been the same—DN10.

But now, a new contender has entered the market.

The Centurion 3/8" Ball Valve is stepping in with a fresh design, improved ergonomics, and a focus on real-world usability. The question is:

Will the Centurion ball valve give the DN10 a run for its money?

The Reign of the DN10 Ball Valve

For a long time, the DN10 has been the go-to choice for professionals across the industry.

The DN10 built its reputation on:

• Proven reliability in the field
• Strong PSI performance for professional setups
• Compact, efficient design
• Widespread use across contractor rigs

It’s not flashy—but it works. And that’s why contractors have trusted it for years.

Enter the Centurion Ball Valve

Now, the industry is seeing something new.

The Centurion is clearly designed to improve on the traditional valve experience:

• EZ Turn ergonomic handle for smoother operation
• Reduced hand fatigue during long jobs
• Heavy-duty construction for high-pressure use
• A modern design focused on contractor comfort and control

This isn’t just another ball valve—it’s built to challenge what contractors have been used to.

Head-to-Head: Centurion vs DN10

What This Means for Contractors

The DN10 still holds the crown when it comes to trust and track record.

But the Centurion is targeting something the industry hasn’t focused on enough:

👉 User experience

If the Centurion can deliver:

• Consistent durability
• Real jobsite performance
• Long-term reliability

…it has a real chance to shift contractor preference.

Because at the end of the day, anything that:

• Reduces fatigue
• Improves workflow
• Makes jobs easier

…gets adopted quickly.

Availability on PowerWashing.com

The Centurion 3/8" Ball Valve is now available on PowerWashing.com.

However, due to initial rollout and demand:

• Product availability begins end of April 2026
• Shipping may occur as late as the first week of May 2026

Early demand is expected as contractors begin testing it against the long-standing DN10.

Final Thoughts

The DN10 isn’t going anywhere—it’s still the industry benchmark.

But for the first time in years, there’s a serious challenger entering the space.

The Centurion represents something different:

Innovation in a category that has stayed the same for too long.

If it performs the way it’s designed to…

👉 It could very well become the next standard in professional power washing setups.
