quick couple connectors
« on: May 02, 2008, 06:28:16 am »
I use 3/8 quick couple connectors on pressure washer hoses. They keep seizing up making it very difficult to change lances etc. Anyone find this happening ?

It makes it easier to push them together, pull the collar back then they come apart. You obviously need to vent them first. I don't use any oil on mine as I find it grabs the grit - I blow them out with compressed air around the collar where the balls are, silicone grease will keep the seals lubed are make them last longer but I find its the males that wear
