Title: Pressure washer quick connects advice pls
Post by: Nathanael Jones on March 05, 2010, 09:50:21 pm

I seem to be breaking quick connects quite a lot recently, so I'm wondering if there is any recommended maintenance that I'm missing, or are the ones I'm getting locally just rubbish.
I'm giving mine a quick spray of WD40 after each job and occasionally taking them apart to clean them (Normally after they start getting stiff) but the last 3 I've had just got stiff after a few weeks and eventually refused to lock the nozzles/x-jet in despite my efforts. I've changed the O rings (The spray nozzles click in fine when there isn't an O ring in place) but this didn't help.
Is there anywhere I can buy good quality connectors online?
