Welcome to BISON’s guide on connecting a hose to a pressure washer. If you own a pressure washer, you know how important it is for various cleaning tasks around the house, from driveways and decks to vehicles and outdoor furniture. However, to fully harness the power of a pressure washer, it is crucial to understand the correct way to connect the hose to the pressure washer.
In this guide, BISON will teach you on each step of hose connection. We’ll provide you with all the necessary information, tools, equipment, and tips to ensure a proper connection. A correct and safe connection not only optimizes performance but also prevents potential hazards such as leaks, blowouts and accidents.
Now, let’s dive into connecting the hose to the pressure washer step-by-step.
The tools and materials you need
- Laveuse à pression
- Tuyau de lavage sous pression
- Garden hose
- Connectors or adapters
- Adjustable wrench or pliers
- Teflon tape for sealing thread connections
- Protective gear: Gloves, goggles, non-slip footwear
Step-by-step guide to connecting hoses
#step 1: Preparation for connecting the hose
- Differentiate between hoses: A pressure washer has an inlet and an outlet. A tuyau d'arrosage should be connected to the inlet on the pressure washer to supply it with water. A tuyau de nettoyeur haute pression is used for the outlet, which produces a pressure water jet under the action of the pressure washer pump.
- Inspect the hose: Inspect the entire length for signs of wear, cracks, or leaks. You are advised to replace them if you notice any damaged hose to avoid any possible problems during operation.
- Inspect the pressure washer: Carefully inspect the pressure washer for any visible damage or leaks. Check the hose connection point on the pressure washer and ensure it is clean and free of debris.
- Distinguish water inlet and outlet: The water inlet is usually marked and is where the hose from your water source will connect. The water outlet is where the high-pressure hose will connect, leading to the pistolet de lavage à pression.
- Turn off and unplug the pressure washer
- Water supply: Make sure the water supply is turned off before connecting the hose.
#step 2: Connect the pressure washer hose to the pressure washer
- Locate the pressure washer hose connection point(water outlet).
- Connect the pressure washer hose to the water outlet. If your pressure washer requires a connector, ensure you have the correct type and secure it to the hose and inlet.
- Seal the connection: Wrap Teflon tape around the threads of the outlet if it is a threaded connection. This will help prevent leakage. Screw the hose tightly onto the inlet by hand or using a suitable tool, but avoid over-tightening as this can damage the threads.
- Screw-On hose connector: Take one end of the pressure washer hose and attach a hose connector to it. Make sure the connector threads match those on the connection point of the pressure washer. Turn the hose connector clockwise to tighten it on the nettoyeur haute pression.
- Connect the other end of the hose: Take the other end of the pressure washer hose and connect it to the pistolet de lavage à pression and attach any required adapters or connectors if necessary.
Since the connection steps for a pressure washer hose are the same as those for a garden hose, BISON believes that you only need to follow the above steps to connect one end of the garden hose to the water inlet and the other end to the water source to complete the operation.
#step 3: Test the connection
Once you’ve securely attached the hose to the pressure washer, testing the connection is essential to ensure everything works correctly. Follow these steps to test the connection:
- Turn on the water supply: Open an outside faucet or water source to allow water to flow into the pressure washer.
- Inspect all connections for leaks: If a leak occurs, first try tightening it with a wrench or pliers. If that does not work, wrap more Teflon tape around the threads of the hose and reconnect it.
- Try different spray patterns: Adjust the buse de nettoyeur haute pression to a different spray pattern, such as a wide fan or a pinpoint jet. Make sure that each spray pattern works properly without blockage or irregularity.
Proper hose pressure release and storage measures for pressure washers
After using a pressure washer, it’s crucial to release the pressure in the hose. Neglecting this step can lead to potential damage to both the hose and the pressure washer, reducing their lifespan and efficiency. In order to ensure the normal use of the pressure washer, BISON believes that you should understand the following knowledge.
Releasing pressure in the hose
This simple yet essential step prevents undue stress on the internal components, ensuring they remain in good working condition for longer. When you are finished using the pressure washer, you should turn off the pressure washer and the water supply and squeeze the trigger on the pressure washer nozzle. This will let any water that has become trapped escape and relieve pressure in the washer.
Proper storage of the hose and pressure washer
Proper storage of your pressure washer and its hose significantly extends their operational life. Once the pressure is released, follow these storage tips:
- Drain and dry
- Coil the hose
- Store indoors
- Use protective covers
- Check for maintenance needs
Conclusion
Connecting a hose to a pressure washer is a simple task. Following a few simple yet essential steps—such as matching hose size to the pressure washer’s capacity, inspecting and cleaning connections, securely attaching fittings, and using appropriate sealing materials—ensures a tight and leak-free connection and maintains the desired pressure for your cleaning tasks. Moreover, it significantly reduces the risk of accidents and extends the lifespan of your equipment. We strongly encourage all users to prioritize safety when operating pressure washers, following manufacturer guidelines and wearing appropriate protective gear.

FAQs About How To Connect Hose To Pressure Washer
Firstly, make sure you’re trying to connect to the correct fitting. Sometimes customers try to connect the pressure washer hose to the water inlet. Next, the metal fitting on the pressure washer hose with the collar should be twisted into the water outlet as it is pushed into the outlet.
- Electric pressure washers:
Electric pressure washers operate at lower PSI levels (1300 to 2000 PSI). Their hoses are usually made of PVC or polyurethane, with diameters of 1/4 inch and lengths of 20 to 35 feet.
- Gas pressure washers:
Gas pressure washers have higher PSI ratings (2000 to 4000+ PSI). These pressure washers are usually paired with hoses made of more durable materials such as rubber or high-strength polyurethane, with diameters of 5/16 inches or 3/8 inches and lengths of 30 to 50 feet or more.
- Professional/Industrial pressure washers:
These pressure washers operate at very high PSI levels (3000 to 8000 PSI). They require heavy-duty hoses made from reinforced rubber or high-quality polyurethane, 3/8″ or larger in diameter and up to 100 feet in length.
There are generally two types of connections for hoses to pressure washers: the M22 connection and the quick connect. The M22 connector is a threaded connector that requires you to screw the hose onto the pressure washer, whereas the quick-connect connector allows you to simply pull the hose into place.
