FAQs
What is the maximum temperature the hose can handle?
The hose can withstand temperatures up to 176°F (80°C).
Is this hose compatible with all pressure washers?
It is designed for compatibility with most pressure washers using 3/8" quick connect fittings or M22 14mm fittings via the included adapter kit. Always check your specific machine's connection type.
How do I prevent the hose from kinking?
Avoid sharp bends. Maintain a minimum bend radius of 4.7 inches and do not twist the hose excessively during use or storage.
What does the steel-wire braid provide?
The steel-wire braid reinforces the hose, providing increased durability, resistance to scuffs and marks, and the ability to handle high pressures without bursting.

Yes, as long as the water temperature does not exceed 176°F (80°C).
What is the burst pressure of the hose?
The hose has a burst pressure of 16000 PSI.
How do I clean the hose?
Simply wipe it down with a damp cloth after use and ensure it is dry before storing. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
Troubleshooting
Hose is leaking at the connection point.
Ensure the connection is securely tightened. Check if the O-ring or washer inside the fitting is present and in good condition. If using adapters, ensure they are properly seated.
Reduced water flow or pressure.
Check for kinks in the hose. Ensure all connections are tight and free of debris. Verify that the flow rate (2.5-5 GPM) is suitable for your pressure washer.
Hose appears damaged or scuffed.
While the hose is scuff-resistant, excessive abrasion can still occur. Inspect for any cuts or punctures. If damage is significant, the hose may need replacement for safety.
Connectors are difficult to attach/detach.
Ensure you are using the correct connector type and size. Slight lubrication with water on the O-rings can help. Clean any debris from the male and female ends.
