Burn a hole in your pressure washer hose? Fittings leaking? Don't throw it away! It can be easily fixed in a little over 6 minutes with basic hand tools. All necessary parts linked below:
amzn.to/2jYpam4 - Gates 1/4" Swivel Compression Fitting - I paid $10 for it, but price fluctuates.
I also found 2-packs of them from an eBay merchant for $15 here if Amazon's prices fluctuate - www.ebay.com/i...
amzn.to/2x2vqug - Gates 1/4 NON-swivel Compression fitting (same as above without the swiveling)
amzn.to/2ftLkuP - M22 Adapter for Pressure Washer - I paid $7.99
amzn.to/2wQDWRO - Quick Connect Fitting (optional) I paid ~$8
husky wrench I used in the video - ebay.us/k2GNtl
For this repair, I used a Gates 1/4" swivel male compression fitting (specific model linked above) and a M22-1/4" female fitting. Together, these parts were less than $15, and can be used over and over if you repeatedly break your hose (by burning it against the exhaust like I did). You can also add in the optional quick connect fitting above if you want to make it quicker to attach your hose to your pressure washer

Disclaimer: These hoses are under a lot of pressure, and there are inherent dangers to repairing your own hoses. While this has worked for me, there's still risks to do this, and I personally would only use a repaired fitting on the end of the hose that attached to the pressure washer body. Do not use a repaired fitting on the wand end of the hose - if it blows off while using it, it's right night to your body and you could be seriously injured. There are many factors to consider when making this kind of repair (pressure, hose size, fitting size, hose style, etc) so do so at your own risk.

I received my pressure washer ru-vid.comUgkxfQauTxLT0JLSvqkq10rD79TU4k0Vz8zP over the weekend and decided to wait for the sun to come out before firing it up. Was needed to clean the deck. Our last pressure washer broke a couple of seasons ago, and I just hadn't replaced it yet. This one had great comments, so here we are. It was easy to assemble, and the trigger wand is comfortable and easy to hold for long periods of time. The pressure washer worked great and made quick work of the "TN North side algae" that inevitably grows every year. I also washed all of the deck furniture while I was at it... it all looks great! So far I am happy with this purchase. I plan to climb the ladder to wash siding over the next couple of days, will update if I have anything else to add after that!

excellent video, thank you. I acquired the CORRECT parts and repaired the hose in less than 10 min. The two parts needed ( Gates connector and M22 adapter) cost approx $30. but seeing they can be used over and over again its worth it. One thing I will add, when threading the larger Gates connector sleeve over the hose with reverse threads, work it slowly and be careful not to damage the hose going into the sleeve . I did and it leaked ! I re-did the connection and all is well.

Teflon tape was wrapped wrong. Should go in the direction of the thread

Teflon tape can go on any direction

@k.d.november9234 5 лет назад

It "can" go on in any direction, but as a Plumber I have personally seen the Teflon Tape bunch up when wrapped against the direction of the Threads and ... leak. It is one Tip Off to me that a Novice did the last connection. More so, is when someone puts Teflon Tape on a Fitting that doesn't require one and will actually cause a Leak (e.g. - when a Washer/Gasket is between the two, a Compression Fitting, etc.). In summary, I do appreciate that you made this Video --- TRULY DO APPRECIATE IT. All I ask is that you go with the Threads in the future like all of the Professionals do and you'll be one, or continue to be one, too!

Any benefit of running the swivel vs non-swivel compression fitting? Cause here in Canada only able to get the non-swivel... Most likely going to attach the repaired line to my pressure washer, not my gun.

@handsomeharry 3 года назад

The purpose of Teflon tape is to fill up the spaces between the joining threads, to do this correct, wind it tightly starting at the end using the full width of the tape on the thread one and a half rotation, pull the tape until it snaps and rub the threaded tape firmly to inbed the tape, never wind it on the thread as demonstrated in the clip as this will cause the tape to bank up and not give you the sealing properties it has been designed for. Other than that all good, although I like to have my Vice bolted down.

Sadly, in the USA now...they do not allow us to repair anything any more. The Replacement Parts listed above cost almost $30USD and I can buy a new hose for that much. China has ruined our country and made it impossible to repair anything- how you ask? By decimating our parts supply industries and making it impossible to buy simple things like these fittings, also screws, washers and other parts with ease as at CHEAP costs. Amazon has contributed as well. Growing up...my family repaired EVERYTHING that broke: but our Nation now must throw it all away and buy new Cheap products from China. Destruction of a Nation 101...ask Biden!

Would be ok, but the repair fittings are almost as much as just buying a new hose. Also need to double check you get the correct size adaptor fitting...Some use 22mm/14mm some use 22mm/15mm. Most size issues arise at the pump end, some pumps have 22mm/15mm at the pump outlet, so using a 22mm/14mm fitting will leak👍🇦🇺

@arawgabi622 2 года назад

if one is worried about the possibility of a blowout on a repaired end ( and maybe you repaired BOTH ends ) a shorter pigtail factory hose ( 10' ) on the wand connecting to the repaired end of the hose might mitigate if the repaired end fails. But the hoses are actually cheaper nowadays than the parts you need to do the repair. Yeah what a waste, but hopefully you got a season or 2 out of it. Of course you could always find a hydraulic guy to put crimped fittings but that's more than it's worth unless you have a pro rig and dozens of feet -- which you shouldn't be doing the repair in the first place. 😊

@wlongmore 5 лет назад

This is just a guess, as I can't see how you have things actually hooked up, but it sounds as if you might need new quick-connector fittings, as the male and female ends are not sealing properly. Make sure you push the hose into the machine a bit harder, and maybe turn it a little bit, just to make sure that the outside ring of the quick connection is snapped forward all the way, and not slightly still open. Also, check inside the female quick-connect to make sure the o-ring is sitting neatly inside its groove, and not slightly crooked, as this will obviously cause you to not get the male quick connect plug sitting flush inside the female quick-connect. Another thing to note, is that over time, some of your hose quick-connect ends/fittings will deform ever so slightly, and will not fit together as easily as when everything was brand new, so getting new fittings will make things easier and more secure. Take your hose to a Home Depot or similar, and try to plug it into a machine they have, or with a new quick connector fitting that they sell. You will be able to see a difference of how it should look and feel when perfectly connected. The main fitting in this video is meant just for repairing the hose itself. I know how frustrating it can be dealing with pressure washer problems, so I hope this information helps.
