How To Add Quick Connects Disconnects to Electric Pressure Washer
HTML-код

- UPDATE!!!!! Someone finally makes a 15mm quick connect that is plug and play it seems: Found here: amzn.to/2T0P6NH
Had an issue getting regular quick connects to fit on my electric pressure washer until I found out that there are two different sizes.
Electric pressure washers use a 15mm nipple/twist connection. Gas ones use 14 mm (standard).
Drill out male M22 side with 15mm drill bit and add bigger o-ring to female side.

"a friend has a machine shop" THATS JUST GREAT.
(reading is fundamental they said ...) I just saw your UPDATE and I already have 3 sets in my Amazon basket . . . . THANKS again for all of the info (I truly hope this works as well as I've dreamed)
So all I need is a buddy with a machine shop and I'm good to go?

I got a power-washer and it didn’t come with an inlet hose so I’ve no idea what connectors to buy to connect a hose to the inlet on the power-washer or to the internal-threaded connector on my tap/faucet.
Hi
If INSIDE DIAMETER IS 14mm, but my fitting is 15 mm can i put teflon tape ?
I have the HARBOR FREIGHT 1750 and (just that) it's a pain in the booty for all of the hook up and disassembly ... kinda slowing my wants to use my pressure washer ... and I really love & want to use my washer without all of the back & forth. KUDOS for this video BUT I don't want to have to MACHINE anything soooooo I'm still looking BUT at least I now know that I am not the only thinking this way ... THANK YOU for the info 😎👍
Thanks dude!!!
Thanks for this post, it's about a different brand than mine (Portland) , but I am just realizing the whole thing with connector compatibility now. Portland tech support just thought that the gun connector to the high pressure hose was proprietary and could not be connected to any other brand. I am trying to buy a different gun that allows to mix chemicals to treat fruit trees.
I needs friends that work in machine shops
There must be some reasoning for the differences in the same platform (Electric Vs Gas) but it is beyond me. I'm sure being in the connector business is quite lucrative. 😀
Yeah beats me. I’m wondering if it was some thing like an imperial vs metric sort of thing. Where most of the gas ones started being developed designed in North America and when electrics came about they designed overseas. Also could be they made a size difference because they didn’t want you putting an electric tested wand tested for lower pressure on a higher pressure gas unit.
@@TheVintageEngineer Yeah I think you got it with the differences in pressure electrics 2000max to the gas 4000+, my Sunjoe says 2900psi max on the hose. Hit the nail squarely on the head with that theory.
Walmart has a quick connect at 10$ for electric it works awesome
I was just about to say if everyone had a buddy with a machine shop this would be a no brainer
lonecody I’m pretty sure Snake Plissken knows a guy.
how about a harbor freight portland 1750 psi ??
Thanks for the video, I'm having problems with my craftsman ( pos) wand that's not accepting the quick connect foam cannon I got from amazon
Arabiantxn I haven’t heard of any incompatibilities with the quick connect tips of wands before. Does the male end of the foam cannon physically slide into the hole or is it having more of a problem of locking?
You can buy a brass 1/2" mip coupling at homedepot. Teflon tape it to where you hook your hose. Get a 1/2" brass nipple and the quick connect will fit and seal it it.
Dude, thanks u should had done the video...
@@jorgetoloza269 your welcome bro.
The M22 quick disconnect will work i used to have the same problem?
Ezeke_ Gonzalez not getting the question
I recently got my quick disconnect but my female 3/8 also leaked at the seal. How has it been holding up? They don't carry those O-Rings in stores anymore
kyle del rosario you talking about the o-ring you swap? If so maybe add some silicon/RTV to the valley where the oring sets to pad it up then put the print back on.
Anthony Shelton yep it leaks where you replace the o-ring. I'll try some rtv later on and update you
where did you get the garden hose connector? I got the same washer and my hose connector broke off
Al Lewis I got the garden hose quick connect from Lowes I believe.
Anthony Shelton thank you so much. when it broke I thought it was no fixing it.

Anthony Shelton thanks
so I hook one end to the washer and the other to the hose?
In order for this to work could you have bought a hose with a quick connect already attached?
Wouldn't that cost more money? Plus you would have to buy another gun since most electric pressure washers have the hose integrated into the gun.
definitely more money but was going to upgrade to a m407 in the near future. thanks for the upload though it really helped!
will there be any decease in pressure if we use a 15 mtr hose pipe instead the 8 mtr ?
General hose theory says you will lose 5 psi for every 100 feet (30 meters of hose). So you would loose about 1 psi over an extra 8 meters.
@@TheVintageEngineeroh the drop doesn't sound that bad! thank you
I found quick connects at Walmart for my greenworks pressure washer.
James Dawson you have the part number?
Do all electrical units use that size? Or only that brand?
All that I’ve encountered do. I thought it was just mine so I checked other models in the store and they were as well.
i have a Husky 1800 psi PW and i lost the quick connect, i tried to replace but company out of stock! any advise?
P. Lanz what’s the factory part number? Or better yet model number of PW and diagram number of part. Want to make sure I know which one you are talking about.
@@TheVintageEngineer all i have is instruction book no part size or model #
seem M22 has two type, M22x1.5-14mm and M22x1.5-15mm, which one?
14mm and 15mm is the bore. The electric ones use 15mm connections and the gas ones tend to use 14 mm.
One from Amazon has solved it for me. "Pressure Washer Coupler, Metric M22 15mm Male Thread to M22 14mm Female Fitting"

"my friend has a machine shop" I paused the video to type this message.
King Drod does not everybody have a friend with one?
@@TheVintageEngineer 🤣
Waaaayyyy too much work to save 15 seconds when connecting your hose. Figure the payback in time savings is about 30 years. LOL.
William Valevich it's a hassle to screw the hose in and unscrew it off...I would rather install the quick connects!
Use pipe thread tape.
Come on man not everybody has access to a metal lathe
Wow, that's confusing!
So in other words, unless you got a buddy to help you grind something down, there is no current electric pressure washer solution for the common man.
Look at the pinned comment, they now make ones for electric pressure washers.
What I would've done is either buy a nice gas pressure washer or just buy a 1/4 quick connect hose and gun with those adapters
Could you just leave the connection you have on the machine and just buy new regular pressure washer hose and gun? I don't care much for the ryobi hose and gun
You could but I believe you may run into the same compatibility issues with the other guns and hoses. Though some may have a universal connection that will do both sizes.

Saved me so much time thanks
Video too long.
