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.
Swivel
Swivels stop the hose from kinking when in use and help to unkink it when you first walk out the hose. It works by allowing swivel (spinning) of the hose without you having to twist the spray gun and extension wand in big circles. You can just walk it out and the gun swivel twists out the hose kinks as you walk. It’s one of those fittings you can’t pressure wash without once you try it. Check how a swivel fitting works in this video we made:
Consider what a fitting must do: 1. It has to be strong enough to withstand 1000 – 4000 psi over (most likely) thousands of cycles use 2. It needs to firmly connect the parts together and not break despite the constant tugging by the user 3. It needs to be corrosion resistant since its water within, and 4. It has to be cheap enough to make them a p...
The main confusion when buying fittings is the size you need to get. 1. Is it the inside or outside diameter you measure? 2. Do you include the thread in that measurement? 3. 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.

Before you buy a pressure washer hose, make sure that you choose one with the correct connections at each end. For example, if both your jet washer machine and nozzle have ‘male’ connectors, then you need a double-female-ended pressure washer hose.
Mar 15, 2024 · To connect a pressure washer to a hose, follow these steps: – Make sure the pressure washer and hose are both turned off. – Attach one end of the hose to the water outlet on the pressure washer. – Attach the other end of the hose to a water source (e.g., outdoor faucet).
Mar 28, 2022 · Now it’s time to actually connect the hose to your pressure washer. The process is pretty straightforward, take the pressure hose and connect it to the water inlet or water supply. You can do this by screwing it on or using a quick connect coupling, which can be another great time saver.
