Fittings, Couplers, Adapters
Fittings, couplings and adapters can be considered the same thing. Sometimes a website will refer to the entire category of connectors as fittings and then specific types of fittings as couplers or adapters or reducers. But it’s confusing and we won’t do that here. However, we will talk about quick connect fittings and swivel fittings separate.
Quick Connect (QC) Fittings
Quick connect fittings turn screw connections to quick connect/release making the job of connecting and removing the hose fast and easy. Female quick connect hose fittings (sometimes called sockets) have an o-ring to prevent leaks. The male side (the bottom one in the picture) are sometimes called the plug. These days most hoses will come with QC connections out-of-the-box.

How precise do you need to be? Even with digital calipers it can difficult. Some fittings are 3/8″, some are 22mm, some are 14mm on the inside diameter (some need to be 15mm),...
Now that you know the types and sizes of fittings, adapters and couplings let’s look at examples (with pictures) of them in everyday use.
Some residential electric pressure washers have custom (to that brand) fittings. So if you want to replace the spray gun or hose you’ll often have to replace it with the same brand. Another thing to be aware of is when they do have M22 screw connection the internal diameter will usually be different than the M22 on gas. See here (gas pressure washe...
There are two types of fittings that are must owns (in our opinion). The quick connect couplers and gun swivels. Both make pressure washing more enjoyable and easier.
How to Choose Compatible Pressure Washer Attachments. When you're looking to add a new spray gun, a new hose or a quick-connect set to your existing pressure washer, they may not always fit together right. In these cases, you'll need an adapter.
