Title: Rusty pressure hose connectors
Post by: A Foster on August 08, 2012, 10:05:09 pm

Hi All.

Is there anyway of preventing the main quick connects on my pressure washer hose from rusting & corroding?

I didn't think stainless steel corroded, but the connections are getting harder to undo.

I do brush them with a wire brush every now and again, but is there any connectors that I could change them too, that wouldn't deteriorate?

Thanks

I use karcher screw type for this reason, (M22) the only thing that goes on them is the orings after a year or so and they cost 99p for 10!
never rated quick release personally, I even bought some brand new ones once that where super stiff to get off
