Josh, which Garden Hose 🌀 is better, Flexzilla or ELEY? Quality, performance, longevity? ELEY has Brass fittings, Flexzilla has softer Aluminum. Both are drinking water 🚰 safe. Both are now Made In U.S.A. 🇺🇸. I’m simply looking for the better quality hose. ELEY is over double the price 💸 for the same size. I just received the Flexzilla in Gray, it arrived with a permanent kink at the business end. It’s soft, flexible, extremely lightweight, but not sure how long it will last. I want the best!
@@grayknight836 I have nothing but the green flexzillas. I will never buy anything else. I think I'm going on 10 years now with them. They get used almost every day at my house.
Bought 8 of them after your video for our shops they just arrived thanks brother for always keeping us informed 🤝 ps they work great and can’t beat that 10 year warranty 🎉
@@timkinley1779In the high-pressure water handling industry, yes. The high-pressure water and low pressure water industries are about as related as saying Hubbell makes better outlets than Mosmatic.
Best garden hose hands down. Been using one for years and it’s paid for itself. Top notch quality. Glad to see you make a video on it. Lube the o rings with the included lube every so often and it will last for a long time.
eley is a great company and very known among lawn/turf enthusiast. they're also having a spring sale running now btw. eley hoses are made in the US, other parts are made oversea.
Josh.. Your excitement level in this video is infectious and fun to watch! 😂 Can't wait to make it home and order! My wife goes through a few of these each season watering plants and landscape stuff. I think she'll be excited!
Might be expensive but think be a great gift for my Dad. And he is older has arthritis in his hands and those quick connects looks really easy to use. Thanks Josh!
Bro this is perfect example of dad moment. Excited about a garden hose nozzle. I love it i think im going to pick one up. Buy once cry once. 🇺🇸 for the win.
Did you get both nozzle attachments? If so, please do a demo with the shower head nozzle. Not sure why Josh didn't demo it, but not much content on these nozzles. Be nice to see it!
@@Brodizzle83 I got everything Josh did and for sure will show each shower screen and I’ll dial my flow for each one so those with low pressure can see how it performs.
@@Brodizzle83 4 screen 1gpm, 2gpm, 3gpm And 4gpm. Each one is designed to make the best out of each flow rate. Lower GPM has a tighter spray pattern and less holes to keep up Pressure. As you go up the pattern gets more holes to use that extra flow. Pretty cool idea. I’ll be testing tonight.
I think Eley is the best! Bought the same setup about 4 years ago and it really is the best. You won’t have to buy a replacement. I even screwed up when I left water in it and the fitting on the reel expanded after I tried to use it. They sent me a replacement free of charge. I just bought another house and decided to buy another whole setup. It is money well spent. Although I don’t own the Kranzle I would compare Eley to it. It is the best garden hose company out there.
I’ve had that hose reel for 10 yrs now. Learned about it from Obsessed Garage. IT WILL NOT BREAK EVER. It has been out in direct south Florida sun the entire time. The only wear is some paint peeling from the round hose reel itself but zero rust. I also have yet to replace the tires etc. Worth every dollar.
Awesome review Josh!! I love your videos and how detailed and straight to the point you are. Watching your content has helped me VERY much to start detailing cars on the side, started off as a hobby because I enjoy the whole process so much! So 🙏 thank you again and keep the amazing content coming!
Started 7 years ago with Eley Products. 2 wall mounted hose reals, 2 watering nozzle sets. Many quick connectors. Yes, prices are on high end but you get what you pay for. Top that off with best customer service. I have not found any other 1:19 company,supplier or product that compares. BTW, the star pattern at outlet is to stabilize water flow.
I’ve been a big fan of Eley products since last summer. They are built like a tank with quality materials. Anyone who says there are less expensive options that are just as good hasn’t actually used an Eley. The quick connects are amazing as are their shut off valves and splitters. I have their wall mounted hose reel in my garage and it is another high quality, well made tool. If I need garden hose accessories or fittings, I’m going with Eley.
I have had this hose reel for at least 5 years. I love it. I Am an 85 year old woman and I can roll it up and down my steps to my spigot on my front porch.
Absolutely love my Eley products. My only, and I mean ONLY complaint about the hose reel is that there's no guide. Your hand gets dirty every time guiding the hose back on evenly. I suppose you could use a rag to hold the hose, but I wish someone would create a little gadget to slip over the hose to guide it on. Yes, they're expensive, but buy nice, not twice.
Hey Josh.. Another great vidio.. I never heard of this product but after your demonstration and showing the quality of it I had to order it. I ordered the 3 piece kit. Nice it comes with the 10 year warranty..I hope they give you some kinda of perk because you deserve it. Can't wait to get ....Once again after watching your channel I spend money.. LOL. Thanx again for finding the good stuff..
Have had my hose reel wall mounted as well as the quick disconnects for 4 years now, money well spent. The quality of their products is nicer than what I use at work.
I'll second the all brass quick connects from harbor freight. I've been using these and other brass quick connects for like 10 years now and they all still work fine with no leaks.
I was blown away with their quality craftsmanship! I took my time when researching for a hose reel and finally found Eley. I also wanted to try out their couplers, which I liked but I ended up going with the OG ones instead so one got installed on my mobile washer and ditched the cheap plastic hose with a braided hose. The faucet plug fits snug inside the quick connect socket for storage when not in use! By the way, that reel can hold up to 120 foot Professional Water hose from Griot's.
The gardening nozzle is excellent for cleaning your dog with gentle yet significant water throughput. I put MTM QC/QD's on it to remain compatible with the 29 others around the house. You can use a quick connect between the sprayer and the tip to make going from gardening to cleaning a breeze.
Your video just left me with less about $100 dollars lol just ordered! I’ve been on the hunt for a hose nozzle that was somewhat comparable to my pressure washer …obviously on a lower scale-but that spray pattern looks superb!! Thank you for the review! Can’t wait to get mine in the mail!!
That's some next-level spray nozzle! The last one I bought at Ace Hardware probably a decade ago was $18 and I got it because it was metal. Much better than the plastic ones, but not like the Eley. I wouldn't leave it on the hose in the yard, I'd quick disconnect it and store in the garage. Now, about the hose reel; where was it back when I used plastic hose reels, which are junk. Even the metal ones were too. I wouldn't spend THAT on one of those, I'd call my son and tell him I've got some pressure washing for you to do (and, I'll cook dinner! 😁)
Harbor Freight sells the Niagara Wand which is very good deal with a coupon. The reason is where I live the water TDS is always above 500 and on/off get very sticky over time due to high minerals. If you are more price sensitive I would recommend it because they last. However, this product is brass and the spray pattern looks excellent for detailing. You can see the quality in the water spray. I ordered it immediately. Thanks Josh.
What’s your favorite 5/8” 50’ garden hose for car washing on the driveway? Eley, flexzilla or another? I have the eley nozzle and no pressure washer. Thanks for ALL your videos!
Great find Josh! Im with you on the good to see “made in America” quality. Dont know how you found this company but after this vid/review, they’re going to get slammed with orders. Great to see a high quality USA product instead of that overseas cheap made crap.
@@timkinley1779 Yes, but apparently the quality & function is superior to any of the crap you can pull off the shelf at HomeDepot or Lowes. Many brands simply exploit China to make a product as cheap as possible, But this Company is doing it right by utilizing them to bring a Quality product to the consumer for an acceptable price.
Thanks for the video Josh, been looking for a nicer garden hose head for some time now.. this is more than I would like to spend but the build quality looks amazing.
Tempted to get one an try for washing my car in my tiny garage during winter and on hot days. Can't run the PW in the garage because of other stuff that can't get wet. I have some of the quick connects from HF. They are cheap, but can be a total PITA sometimes. I'd definitely pay for a set that connects and disconnects smoothly and easily.
I had one of their wall mount reels years ago and there was a plastic bushing inside that failed causing the reel to free spin instead of braking when you wind it back. The part was available for order. The reel was kept in the sun so maybe that had something to do with it. I just got the cleaning nozzle but passed on the watering nozzle. If you have to change the disc often it looks to be a bit too much trouble since you can't do it by hand.
I own a few Eley products and have used the warranty twice. They stand behind their stuff, no worries. If you are in a cold climate, always drain water from hoses and nozzles if they will stay outside.
Thanks, we leave our plastic hose reels outside in New England after draining them and they have lasted for a years, but the plastic does break down and becomes brittle. Takes about 8 years for about $40. How does the Eley hose reels stand up to being outside?
Josh, would you happen to know what psi you had supplying that hose nozzle during the demonstration? If not anyone know what type of psi is required to get good results from the Eley nozzle?
RUclips guy HONESTLYOCD demonstrated Eley garden sprinkler and I actually purchased one this winter. Definitely will use it along with using my pressure washer.

Both are now Made In U.S.A. 🇺🇸. I’m simply looking for the better quality hose. ELEY is over double the price 💸 for the same size.

I've had the Eley quick connects and sprayers for some time now and it has been a game changer for me. I would say that the fan nozzle tip is pretty close in comparison to a low powered pressure washer but, I really just wish there were better options for getting thick foam close to a pressure washer. Foam guns just don't really cut it and seem to run off the car way too quick. Eley nozzle and premium foam gun suds would be my go to because i wouldn't have to deal with getting out the pressure washer, plugging it into a power source , priming the hose and unit, and putting it all away when done. There are just simply more premium options in the pressure washing industry. Until a premium garden hose foam gun that can create thick shaving cream foam comes out i will continue using my pressure washer.
The diameter of the quick connect is the same diameter of a hose so no back pressure, I had the cheap Home Depot ones and water barely came out, put eley’s quick connect on and the flow was not restricted
Eley hoses are great, as is their customer service. (I had bad part that they replaced immediately). Their fittings the best I've found. Check out their warranty.
I bought a bunch of quick connects 9 months ago. Started using 6 months ago. They have all completely seized up. I’ve greased them with the Eley kit I bought once in that time. I was super excited about these, but they failed even after being maintained. And basically everything is excluded from the great warranty when you start reading the details, so don’t let that sell you on these.
Oh man that’s terrible. Do you happen to know if you have really hard water? Not an excuse for that especially at the price of these, but just trying to think of why they may have failed so quickly.
This is amazing quality. Great exiting video. Definitely worth the price. I think the star design inside the nozzle produces a little more pressure. Just saying. American made is a plus. Strong 💪
I just got some extra money from some overtime & decided to blow it on this nozzle. What can I say? I’m a glutton for punishment. This is by far the most amazing nozzle I’ve ever used! Would I buy it if I didn’t have extra cash? Recommend it to a friend? Probably not. Recommend it as a gift? Absolutely!
In this video you used an expandible hose. Its not my regular but helps in a pinch. I've tried a few different ones and they all blew apart within 6-10 months. Have you done a review on any?
I own two Eley hose reels. The quality is better than most. For air reels I have Reelcraft (cheaper models made overseas), Cox Reels, and Hubbel. These reels are USA made and built like a tank. As far as water hose reels I went with Eley which seemed built pretty good but my understanding is all their products are made in China, other than their hoses. They were once made in Nebraska but no longer. I didn’t drain my reel soon enough this year and it got cold today. Swivel failed so yeah quality is ok but I wouldn’t say their stuff is amazing either.
Good to know your experience… yeah I messed up about the made in America comment. I think it’s either the hose of the reel that is… I thought everything was but much of it is made overseas. Also good point about the water drain in cold weather. Being from San Diego I never have to be concerned with that but so many people do need to consider that so it’s good to hear your point of view!
FYI: on the hose reel that is not a lock to stop the reel from spinning, it is supposed to be set to create a slight amount of drag so that when you are pulling the hose out it does not all come out. So the reel will stop unwinding when you stop pulling.
It would have been helpful to see the nozzle in action spraying onto your car to give a sense of the spray pattern in actual use. Nonetheless, great review. I have been looking for a high quality nozzle and it looks like this is the one. Thanks.
Your video didn't tell me anything I didn't already know. But I will just confirm everything you said about their quality. I have purchased probably a dozen of their quick connect sets. I have them on everything including hose end sprayers, Kranzle pressure washer, crspotless simple chuck unit, etc....... I haven't watched your entire video yet (commenting as your video is running) but the inside diameter is HUGE. WAY bigger than the crappy quick connects you buy at box stores. So you are getting about the best flow possible. I dont understand why some people put those small diameter quick connects inline with their pressure washers. They splitters are amazing too as well as their swivels with the ball valve shut off. Also their hose reels are amazing as well. I just bought my second one. I have one that is on wheels. I bought the 4 wheel version. Then bought another to mount on a 4x4 post on the other side of my house. Lastly, their hose is very good quality as well. It is drinking water safe. All quality brass components. Plus they sell a repair kit that you can replicate their professional connections and installing the super high quality ends on their hose if you get a cut etc. I bought the tool that puts the ends on and a couple male and couple female ends just to have as spares. EDIT--- I see you showed the inside diameter of the quick connects but you didn't really comment on them. The difference in opening size between the Eley and even the second best on the market imho made by Dramm is ridiculous. The Eley quick connects are HUGE compared to anything else on the market. Also, at the end of the video you mentioned the Griots Garage nozzle. I still have a Griots Garage sprayer I bought probably15 years ago and LOVE IT. Their shut off valves suck as they seize up after very little time. But I put the nozzle itself on a Eley quick connect and it is an amazing combination. And one final note. MAKE SURE you are using 100% silicone grease on the orings. I ran out of the little small tube of grease I got from Eley and I used some other silicone lubricant I use on car parts. I think it's called SuperLube. It says 100% silicone but it obviously has some additives in it and caused the orings to expand and actually get loose on the quick connects. So I bought a few of the oring kits that include Ellis grease to make sure I have spare orings and grease for a while.
Water Right 600 series hose, Strong-way wall mount hose reel from northern tool, quick connects from AM Leonard and Dradco firehouse nozzle. Comparable to Eley half the price.
Love your videos but would you please mention if the products you are talking about are more for electric or gas pressure washers? Example... is the UBERFLEX 3700 psi as good as the 3100 psi version? 😉
some things are "buy it for life" and that just may be one. worst case you eventually have to replace an o ring. i would love to see a GPM battle of this vs some other products such as Gilmour Pro Fireman Nozzle, Bon-Aire Original Ultimate Aluminum Hose Nozzle. i have the bon-aire and its been bulletproof. though i dont use it professionally or anything
I have their hose reel, and it's excellent. I live in a townhouse, we have "public" hose reels at the end of each building. They're plastic and leak and falling off the wall. I'm tempted to buy another one so I don't have to use that plastic thing ever again.
Huh? Neither of your questions make sense. The gpm is decided by the input flow from the hose bib (city water or well pump). And this isn't a pressure washer fitting.
@@timkinley1779 no the hose is still restricted so asking what gpm he was getting. I understand that pressure can vary from place to place but it’s close enough to ask what the flow rate is. Also was wondering if a quick connect is installed coil you use the handle with a pressure washer.
@@robn.5932 Max pressure on the body is 120 psi. Valve is 90 psi. That isn't pressure washer range. This is a garden hose and attachments. I can explain how and where the water comes from before it gets to your hose bib, if that'll help you understand. Take it on faith that the hose and nozzle will flow the same gpm out as the pipe and fittings from whence the residential water came.
@@timkinley1779 not true, I am a mechanical engineer with over 30 years of fluid mechanics experience. I can assure you when you run water through that system you will loose flow. Please just test it with your hose for a minute then add the handles with the fan sprayer on the widest spray and tell me the change. That’s what I’m asking.
@@robn.5932 The valves and fittings and pressure reducers prior to the hose bib end, determine the volume. The size of the valve in your bib is probably the same as the ball valve in this trigger. The smallest restriction is the factor for back-pressure loss, if any. Wide open valve at the bib is the same interior volume as the wide open valve on the trigger. If you're referring to fan attachments and different levels of open, then we're talking about different things. Every single degree of open would change the flow. If we're throwing out a resume... I spent a lifetime in specialty chemical and pharmaceutical processing. I also can open and close a residential bib.
So, I like it but one thing you didn’t address completely are the connectors to the hose. The ones you showed looked great but what I’m curious about is can you disconnect that nozzle from the hose and then connect the hose to your pressure washer. Not sure what water source you use with your pressure washer - unless it’s that inside tank in your garage - but it would be very aggravating to have to change the connectors every time if they aren’t the same size.

I own a few Eley products and have used the warranty twice. They stand behind their stuff, no worries. If you are in a cold climate, always drain water from hoses and nozzles if they will stay outside.
Thanks, we leave our plastic hose reels outside in New England after draining them and they have lasted for a years, but the plastic does break down and becomes brittle. Takes about 8 years for about $40. How does the Eley hose reels stand up to being outside?
Thanks for the info looks great!!! Have a great weekend!!!
Josh, would you happen to know what psi you had supplying that hose nozzle during the demonstration? If not anyone know what type of psi is required to get good results from the Eley nozzle?
RUclips guy HONESTLYOCD demonstrated Eley garden sprinkler and I actually purchased one this winter. Definitely will use it along with using my pressure washer.
Josh, which Garden Hose 🌀 is better, Flexzilla or ELEY? Quality, performance, longevity? ELEY has Brass fittings, Flexzilla has softer Aluminum. Both are drinking water 🚰 safe. Both are now Made In U.S.A. 🇺🇸. I’m simply looking for the better quality hose. ELEY is over double the price 💸 for the same size. I just received the Flexzilla in Gray, it arrived with a permanent kink at the business end. It’s soft, flexible, extremely lightweight, but not sure how long it will last. I want the best!
I have two of their hose reels. They are fantastic. Last reel you will ever buy.
I've had the Eley quick connects and sprayers for some time now and it has been a game changer for me. I would say that the fan nozzle tip is pretty close in comparison to a low powered pressure washer but, I really just wish there were better options for getting thick foam close to a pressure washer. Foam guns just don't really cut it and seem to run off the car way too quick. Eley nozzle and premium foam gun suds would be my go to because i wouldn't have to deal with getting out the pressure washer, plugging it into a power source , priming the hose and unit, and putting it all away when done. There are just simply more premium options in the pressure washing industry. Until a premium garden hose foam gun that can create thick shaving cream foam comes out i will continue using my pressure washer.
The diameter of the quick connect is the same diameter of a hose so no back pressure, I had the cheap Home Depot ones and water barely came out, put eley’s quick connect on and the flow was not restricted
Nice vid Josh,I saw this on a video once and it looked cool cause of the spray pattern and the pressure
Eley hoses are great, as is their customer service. (I had bad part that they replaced immediately). Their fittings the best I've found.
Check out their warranty.
I bought a bunch of quick connects 9 months ago. Started using 6 months ago. They have all completely seized up. I’ve greased them with the Eley kit I bought once in that time. I was super excited about these, but they failed even after being maintained. And basically everything is excluded from the great warranty when you start reading the details, so don’t let that sell you on these.
Oh man that’s terrible. Do you happen to know if you have really hard water? Not an excuse for that especially at the price of these, but just trying to think of why they may have failed so quickly.
Thanks for your input on these. $100 to just water around the house or $10 for a nozzle that will last for at least a few years.
I bought a 50ft Flexzilla hose hopefully it lasts. How are the Harbor Freight quick connects?
This is amazing quality. Great exiting video. Definitely worth the price. I think the star design inside the nozzle produces a little more pressure. Just saying. American made is a plus. Strong 💪
Produced in China. Only the hose is made in the USA.
I want to know where can you buy new garden hose end that are made out of solid brass instead of those fake brass ones that are actually plastic
I just got some extra money from some overtime & decided to blow it on this nozzle. What can I say? I’m a glutton for punishment. This is by far the most amazing nozzle I’ve ever used! Would I buy it if I didn’t have extra cash? Recommend it to a friend? Probably not. Recommend it as a gift? Absolutely!
Funny to see you geek out over a hose nozzle. Keep the reviews coming bud.
In this video you used an expandible hose. Its not my regular but helps in a pinch. I've tried a few different ones and they all blew apart within 6-10 months. Have you done a review on any?
I have their wall mounted hose reel. It's a very nice piece. Their customer service is also very good.
I just put my order in for the nozzle…. Great review.
I own two Eley hose reels. The quality is better than most. For air reels I have Reelcraft (cheaper models made overseas), Cox Reels, and Hubbel. These reels are USA made and built like a tank. As far as water hose reels I went with Eley which seemed built pretty good but my understanding is all their products are made in China, other than their hoses. They were once made in Nebraska but no longer. I didn’t drain my reel soon enough this year and it got cold today. Swivel failed so yeah quality is ok but I wouldn’t say their stuff is amazing either.
Good to know your experience… yeah I messed up about the made in America comment. I think it’s either the hose of the reel that is… I thought everything was but much of it is made overseas. Also good point about the water drain in cold weather. Being from San Diego I never have to be concerned with that but so many people do need to consider that so it’s good to hear your point of view!
The star pattern is there to help create laminar flow 1:40
FYI: on the hose reel that is not a lock to stop the reel from spinning, it is supposed to be set to create a slight amount of drag so that when you are pulling the hose out it does not all come out. So the reel will stop unwinding when you stop pulling.
Anybody happen to know what psi is needed to get good results from the Eley nozzle?
This companies aluminum hose reels are amazing, I’ve had one for years.
It would have been helpful to see the nozzle in action spraying onto your car to give a sense of the spray pattern in actual use. Nonetheless, great review. I have been looking for a high quality nozzle and it looks like this is the one. Thanks.
Your video didn't tell me anything I didn't already know. But I will just confirm everything you said about their quality.
I have purchased probably a dozen of their quick connect sets. I have them on everything including hose end sprayers, Kranzle pressure washer, crspotless simple chuck unit, etc.......
I haven't watched your entire video yet (commenting as your video is running) but the inside diameter is HUGE. WAY bigger than the crappy quick connects you buy at box stores. So you are getting about the best flow possible. I dont understand why some people put those small diameter quick connects inline with their pressure washers.
They splitters are amazing too as well as their swivels with the ball valve shut off.
Also their hose reels are amazing as well. I just bought my second one. I have one that is on wheels. I bought the 4 wheel version. Then bought another to mount on a 4x4 post on the other side of my house.
Lastly, their hose is very good quality as well. It is drinking water safe. All quality brass components. Plus they sell a repair kit that you can replicate their professional connections and installing the super high quality ends on their hose if you get a cut etc. I bought the tool that puts the ends on and a couple male and couple female ends just to have as spares.
EDIT--- I see you showed the inside diameter of the quick connects but you didn't really comment on them. The difference in opening size between the Eley and even the second best on the market imho made by Dramm is ridiculous. The Eley quick connects are HUGE compared to anything else on the market.
Also, at the end of the video you mentioned the Griots Garage nozzle. I still have a Griots Garage sprayer I bought probably15 years ago and LOVE IT. Their shut off valves suck as they seize up after very little time. But I put the nozzle itself on a Eley quick connect and it is an amazing combination.
And one final note. MAKE SURE you are using 100% silicone grease on the orings. I ran out of the little small tube of grease I got from Eley and I used some other silicone lubricant I use on car parts. I think it's called SuperLube. It says 100% silicone but it obviously has some additives in it and caused the orings to expand and actually get loose on the quick connects. So I bought a few of the oring kits that include Ellis grease to make sure I have spare orings and grease for a while.
Just ordered mine. Thanks Josh!
Great vid Josh straight up
Water Right 600 series hose, Strong-way wall mount hose reel from northern tool, quick connects from AM Leonard and Dradco firehouse nozzle. Comparable to Eley half the price.
You mean I can get Eley products for only twice the price of the cheap, knockoff stuff.
@@timkinley1779no! 10x the cheap stuff. The items listed are good quality at a lower price.
I work for twincity autobody in Missouri and we use automatic for all are detailing
Like a drive through? I’ve seen some body shops and dealers that have them on location
@@imjoshv no just me I do all the detailing my self
Love your videos but would you please mention if the products you are talking about are more for electric or gas pressure washers? Example... is the UBERFLEX 3700 psi as good as the 3100 psi version? 😉
some things are "buy it for life" and that just may be one. worst case you eventually have to replace an o ring.
i would love to see a GPM battle of this vs some other products such as Gilmour Pro Fireman Nozzle, Bon-Aire Original Ultimate Aluminum Hose Nozzle.
i have the bon-aire and its been bulletproof. though i dont use it professionally or anything
As much as they cost, they better be the best!
Love my reel and accessories. Only issue is the reel handle needs to be a foot longer.
Great video by far. I own Eley hose sprayer an it’s by far the best of the best if you want premium performance.
Milk was spilled in my car. I used and extractor and carpet cleaner. Any ideas on what I can use to get the smell of rotten milk out?
great reel BUT NO hose guide to have a uniform wrap . They said they were working on it ......10 years ago
Can I find it in ol canada ?
I have their hose reel, and it's excellent. I live in a townhouse, we have "public" hose reels at the end of each building. They're plastic and leak and falling off the wall. I'm tempted to buy another one so I don't have to use that plastic thing ever again.
The baffle is laminar flow!
What is the gpm with the fan spray? Also if you hook up a quick connect could you hook it up to pressure washer?
Huh? Neither of your questions make sense. The gpm is decided by the input flow from the hose bib (city water or well pump). And this isn't a pressure washer fitting.
@@timkinley1779 no the hose is still restricted so asking what gpm he was getting. I understand that pressure can vary from place to place but it’s close enough to ask what the flow rate is. Also was wondering if a quick connect is installed coil you use the handle with a pressure washer.
@@robn.5932 Max pressure on the body is 120 psi. Valve is 90 psi. That isn't pressure washer range. This is a garden hose and attachments. I can explain how and where the water comes from before it gets to your hose bib, if that'll help you understand. Take it on faith that the hose and nozzle will flow the same gpm out as the pipe and fittings from whence the residential water came.
@@timkinley1779 not true, I am a mechanical engineer with over 30 years of fluid mechanics experience. I can assure you when you run water through that system you will loose flow. Please just test it with your hose for a minute then add the handles with the fan sprayer on the widest spray and tell me the change. That’s what I’m asking.
@@robn.5932 The valves and fittings and pressure reducers prior to the hose bib end, determine the volume. The size of the valve in your bib is probably the same as the ball valve in this trigger. The smallest restriction is the factor for back-pressure loss, if any. Wide open valve at the bib is the same interior volume as the wide open valve on the trigger. If you're referring to fan attachments and different levels of open, then we're talking about different things. Every single degree of open would change the flow. If we're throwing out a resume... I spent a lifetime in specialty chemical and pharmaceutical processing. I also can open and close a residential bib.
So, I like it but one thing you didn’t address completely are the connectors to the hose. The ones you showed looked great but what I’m curious about is can you disconnect that nozzle from the hose and then connect the hose to your pressure washer. Not sure what water source you use with your pressure washer - unless it’s that inside tank in your garage - but it would be very aggravating to have to change the connectors every time if they aren’t the same size.
Nice products, for QDs I’ll stick with Banjo fittings.
Very nice!
Simple question are they over 550 ponds per square inch 😊
Unfortunately they don’t ship to Canada 😢
Can you do a review on Maxi suds please
No jokes…no quips (this time). That thing is sick!
👍👍👍👍
Glad I got hose reel years ago pretty pricey then but now wow, however it will be the last one I will ever need.
You had me at Made in USA!
Made in China, not USA
