W4443VP | Bertolini 4400 PSI 4.3 GPM Pump with VRT Unloader and Quick Connect Plug, Pressure-Pro Replacement
W4443VP is the W4443 pump plumbed with an external VRT3-310A unloader and a 3/8 in. steel quick connect plug on the outlet, rated 4.3 GPM at 4,400 PSI at 3450 RPM. The plug outlet is what Pressure-Pro machines use, so your existing Pressure-Pro hose snaps straight on. WSHPWR bench tests every unit and pre-sets the unloader before it ships.
Why 4,400 PSI, and why only here: Bertolini’s standard WMG is rated 4,000 PSI. The W4443VP is built with stronger side bearings and upgraded bronze connecting rods, and Bertolini has granted it a 4,400 PSI rating exclusive to WSHPWR.com. It is made in Reggio Emilia, Italy, where Bertolini has built pumps since 1918.
Why a VRT Unloader and Plug Outlet
On the W4443VP, the VRT3-310A is rated to 4,500 PSI, a safety margin above the pump’s 4,400 PSI, and it is fully serviceable in the field: replace it without opening the pump head. Its Easy Start feature opens the bypass at startup, so the engine pulls over against zero back pressure. Recoil starts take less effort and electric starters draw less current. The factory bypass loop and thermal relief valve keep the W4443VP cool when the trigger is closed: the valve opens at 124 to 145°F, dumps hot water and draws in cool supply water, then closes on its own.
Which W4443 Do You Need?
Every cold water version is rated 4,400 PSI. Choose the one built for your machine:
- Bare pump: no unloader. For shops that reuse their own unloader and plumbing.
- W, WS and WP versions: built-in unloader and injector, with standard, quick connect socket or quick connect plug outlet.
- VRT, VP and VPI versions (VP is this page): plumbed with an external VRT unloader, a quick connect plug outlet on the VP and VPI, and an injector on the VPI.
- DLX and VPDLX versions: deluxe builds with a double-loop external bypass and a clear view inlet filter.
- T, WT, WST, WPT, VRTT and PIT versions: tank and gravity feed versions with the King full-flow inlet adapter.
- H, WH, HT and WHT versions: hot water versions with 167°F seals, rated 4,060 PSI.

What Makes a Bertolini Different
- LowStressthread valve caps: the O-ring seals ahead of the thread, so pressure water never reaches it. The caps don’t loosen, need 40% less torque and put 60% less stress on the head.
- Lifetime oil: change the break-in oil once at 50 to 100 hours to standard 75W-90 gear oil, and that fill lasts the life of the pump.
- Built heavy: thick forged brass head, AISI 316 stainless check valves, solid ceramic plungers on nitrided stainless plunger rods, one-piece bronze connecting rods, oversized bearings and an extended forged steel crankshaft.
Common Questions
- Will my Pressure-Pro hose connect? Yes. The W4443VP outlet plug mates with the 3/8 in. socket on Pressure-Pro hoses.
- Does it have an injector? No. For a built-in detergent injector, see the VPI version.
- Can it run hot water? The W4443VP is rated to 140°F. For hotter water, choose an H version.
