Expert Notes

The Better Detailing Karcher Stubby Trigger Gun Adapter lets a compatible Karcher pressure washer run a stubby trigger gun in place of the standard Karcher lance. The adapter attaches to the stubby gun, and the assembly then locks onto the Karcher connection. It is precision machined with a heavy-duty build and relies on a good condition O-ring for a leak-resistant seal. A shorter gun gives more control around mirrors, wheels, grilles and wheel arches and is less tiring on long washes, so it suits keen enthusiasts and professional detailers alike. Pair it with a stubby trigger gun, quick release nozzles and a snow foam lance, and compare your Karcher fitting with the product images before ordering.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Compatible Karcher pressure washers
  • Stubby trigger guns
  • Snow foam lances
  • Quick release accessories
  • Wheels and wheel arches
  • Grilles and mirrors
  • Lower bodywork

Caution: Karcher fittings vary, so compare your existing connection with the product images before ordering. This is the adapter only, with no stubby trigger gun included.

Better Detailing fittings and brushes

Snow foam lance adapters. Each adapter replaces the machine fitting on an aftermarket snow foam lance, so the lance fits your pressure washer. The Karcher K2 to K7 adapter has an engineering-grade polymer body with a precision-machined brass thread. The range also covers Karcher Pro HD and HDS, new type, Karcher Pro HD and HDS, old type, Nilfisk, Gerni, Kew, Alto, Stihl and Husqvarna, Bosch AQT short type and Portland Husky, Silverline, Hunter, Anlu, IPC and Skil 0761 and Lavor, Parkside, Vax, Sterwins and Argos Qualcast.

Stubby guns and fittings. The High Pressure Stubby Trigger Gun has an M22 male inlet and a 1/4in quick release outlet. To fit a stubby gun to your machine there are adapters for Karcher, Nilfisk and Lavor, Lutian and Black & Decker. The solid brass M22 male to 3/8in female quick release adapter and 1/4in BSP female to 1/4in quick connect adapter convert threads to quick release, and the brass M22 14mm swivel connector turns a full 360 degrees between gun and hose so the hose stops twisting as you walk round the car. Check your thread first: it is made for M22 14mm fittings.

Nozzles and sprayers. The Quick Release Nozzle Set has four stainless steel tips: 0 degree red, 15 degree yellow, 25 degree green and 40 degree white. The wider the angle, the gentler the spray, so the 40 degree tip is the one for rinsing paintwork. The Trigger Spray Head fits 28/410 bottle necks and gives about 1.2ml per full pull.

Detailing brushes. The natural boar hair brushes come as the Sash Brush in small, medium and large, the Premium Boar Hair Brush in six sizes, the V2 Boar Hair Brush in five sizes with a chemical-resistant handle and hanging loop, and the Plastic Handle Boar Hair Brush. They are soft enough for vents, badges, gloss black trim and leather. The ultra-soft synthetic brushes come long and short, the Firm Synthetic Brush has firm bristles with soft flagged tips for panel gaps, engine bays, calipers and polish residue, and the Chemical Resistant Brush stands up to repeated use with strong wheel cleaners.

Shop the range by type: adapters and quick connects, snow foam lances, stubby trigger guns and detailing brushes.

Which snow foam lance adapter do I need?

Most aftermarket snow foam lances come with one machine fitting. If your pressure washer takes a different one, an adapter swaps it, so match the adapter to the brand of your machine:

If you are not sure which connection your machine has, check its manual or the gun outlet, or ask our team in the Ilkeston shop for help choosing a compatible adapter. For lances to go with the adapter, see our snow foam lances.
