Adapters & Quick Connects

Pressure washer makers each use their own fittings, so a lance, gun or hose from one brand often won't fit another. We carry snow foam lance adapters for Karcher, Nilfisk, Kranzle, Bosch, Lavor, Parkside and more, stubby trigger gun adapters, and Better Detailing brass M22, BSP and quick release fittings.

How to choose

• Identify both ends: the outlet on your gun and the inlet on the accessory. Snow foam lances usually plug in with a 1/4 inch quick release, and each lance adapter here converts one make's gun fitting to suit.
• Karcher Pro HD/HDS: old-type guns, new-type guns and the Easy trigger gun each take a different adapter, so match the gun, not just the machine.
• Budget machines: many own-brand machines from supermarkets and DIY chains share one fitting, so one adapter covers Lavor, Parkside, Vax, Sterwins and Qualcast.

Good to know

• Switch the machine off and squeeze the trigger to release pressure before undoing any fitting.
• A quick release that sprays at the joint usually has a damaged or missing O-ring; replace it rather than forcing the coupling.

Are all pressure washer quick connectors the same?

No. Pressure washer makers use different fittings, so match the outlet on your gun to the inlet on the accessory. Most snow foam lances take a 1/4 inch quick release, and a lance adapter for your make of gun bridges the two.
