Why Use A Karcher Professional HD & HDS New Type Snow Foam Lance Adapter?
Karcher Professional pressure washers can use different accessory connections depending on the machine model, trigger gun, production generation and accessory system. This means an aftermarket snow foam lance may not connect directly to a newer Karcher Professional HD or HDS pressure washer without the correct machine-specific adapter.
This Better Detailing metal adapter replaces the existing machine fitting on a compatible aftermarket snow foam lance, allowing the completed foam lance assembly to connect to selected Karcher Professional HD and HDS pressure washer systems using the New Type connection.
Using the correct adapter allows you to retain your aftermarket snow foam lance while changing the machine-side connection to suit your compatible newer-generation Karcher Professional pressure washer setup.

Important: This is the New Type Karcher Professional HD and HDS adapter. Karcher Professional connections can vary between machine models, trigger guns, production years and accessory generations. Please compare the shape, locating points and dimensions of your existing pressure washer connection with the product images before ordering.
This fitting is different from the Karcher HD and HDS older-style adapter and is not designed as a direct replacement for domestic Karcher K2, K3, K4, K5, K6 or K7 pressure washer adapters.

How To Install

- Unscrew and remove the existing fitting from the top of the snow foam lance assembly.
- Check that the snow foam lance thread and sealing components are clean and undamaged.
- Apply suitable PTFE plumber's tape to the threaded connection where required.

HQ Top Tip: Many aftermarket snow foam lances arrive with a 1/4" quick-release fitting or another machine adapter already installed. This existing fitting normally needs to be unscrewed before the Better Detailing Karcher Professional HD and HDS New Type adapter can be fitted. Use PTFE plumber's tape on the threaded connection where required to help create a secure, leak-resistant seal.
