Kranzle K1322TS Custom Install Solution

Custom Install Solution

It still blows my mind that back in 2017 I had this crazy idea to create a wall mount solution that I’d hope would change the game. The Kranzle K1322TS Custom Install Solution has become a staple in the car detailing industry and has definitely made its presence known. This setup is not only for commercial use. I also designed it for the regular Joe who wants to clean their car on the weekend or whenever.

I've been thinking about doing this for as long as I can remember. I've wanted a dedicated wash bay for over 20 years. I thought that would be the most amazing thing in the world to be able to wash cars whenever I want, and not have to drag out a hose every time I wanted to get the job done. Two years ago, I started searching everywhere to find a solution that would not only be suitable but also be amazing. 

There are a couple of obscure on-wall semi-complete systems out there, but I wanted something better. I knew I'd have to piece it together and build it myself if it was going to check all my boxes. 

After beating my head against the wall trying to do this, I ended up choosing the massive Kranzle K165STS (now the KWS700TS) that was on my wall in my dedicated wash bay. Add in tearing the walls apart for bracing and 30A wiring to support 200 lb, boom pole, dozens of tried and failed parts like hoses, wall plates, and quick disconnects, a bunch of Mosmatic parts like buying the wrong boom pole and having to buy a second one; and we are in the $10,000 neighborhood! In other words, very very few people are going to do that all in the pursuit of the amazing result I've been able to obtain. I get that.

So here we go...chasing a great solution that checks all the boxes. I get that seeing a photo of this complete and functioning looks easy, but I assure you, it will require more orders of part after part and trip after trip to the hardware store to eventually get this dialed in. This store has given me a platform to channel my obsession and save you the inevitable pain you would need to endure to get this right. But...keep in mind, this system doesn't just magically appear on your wall. 

Installation Tips

“Custom” is the keyword. It really depends on your needs, the utilities that you’re working with, and how you’re going to have your end solution setup. You really want to get with a plumber if you need to because everything is going to be completely custom for your specific setup in regards to cut lengths and where everything is going to go. This package gets you about 90% of the way there, but that other 10% takes a bit of work to figure out. To give you a head start here are some dimensions for what we have on our wall here: 

• Our water outlet is 22.5" off the ground and 13.5” to the left of the center line. I would recommend this as the absolute minimum distance from the center line. 
• The CR Spotless is mounted with the top of the bracket at 43”. 
• The top of the hose reel mounting bracket is at 61”. 
• The top of the back of the metal shelf is at 68.5”.
• The power outlet should be about the same height as the shelf but to the right. Ours is lower than that because we didn’t move it. Its not ideal. 
• Total width is roughly 30”. 

We have some awesome videos on the YouTube channel that you'll want to watch if you haven’t seen them yet. A friend of ours in Colorado that has been building an awesome Morton Building garage to full OG Spec. Here’s the first video from when we were touring Nick’s Colorado Morton Building garage back in January 2019. Head to 17:50 for him talking about the Kranzle wall mount solution. You really want to do as much mocking up as you can.
