Pressure Washer Connector

Haddenham35

Hi,
I recently purchased a Titan Pressure Washer from Screwfix and have a front drive in dire need of a clean after some recent work.
I have one of the 100ft extendable hoses but I am missing the part that connects the hose to the water inlet of the pressure washer. I've looked at dozens of items online (and purchased a couple of incorrect ones) so wondered if anyone would be a real help and recommend the exact part I need. Whatever will connect the hose to the water inlet part of the pressure washer.
Sincere thanks in advance.

I assumed the hose end would be a standard fitting to allow for connection to spray heads etc.  The connection on the pressure washer should be the partner to that.  Can you post photos of the hose connector and the pressure washer connector?

The pressure washer should just have standard male hose connector on it's water inlet.

Any of these on the end of your hose pipe should connect to the maile fitting on your pressure washer:

I'd be surprised if it's not just a bog-standard connector you need, something like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hozelock-Hose-connector-12-5mm-15mm/dp/B000TAUEMA/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=hose+connector&qid=1623246914&sr=8-5

You'll be able to pick one up at any of the DIY sheds, garden centres, places like The Range etc., they're not exactly an uncommon item.

The problem here is the OP's talking about one of those expanding hoses which tend to have the connector built in, and even if it didn't I don't think a standard hozelock connector is going to fit it.

The OP needs to supply a pic.

Maybe it's this the sort of thing they're after, but some of the reviews aren't great.

Thanks all for your comments. I’ve attached some photos in case that is helpful. Forgive the cement-covered hose and my lack of basic pressure washer knowledge. Do let me know if there’s a specific action or product I should take next.

thanks!

Looks like you need something like 3/4" male thread to hose quick connect male:

1. On the end of your hose you have a 3/4" BSP male tap connector.
2. On the pressure washer you have what looks like a standard male push on hose connector.  Looks like - I can't be sure.
3. You need to connect between the two.  
3a. You need a female threaded tap connector to attach to the end of the hose.
3b. A short piece of hose to connect to:
3c. A hose connector, female.
4. Before doing anything, check that a female hose connector will properly attach to your pressure washer.  
Have a look at http://www.ck-tools.com/products/ck_tools/water_systems/hose_connectors/ - they are brass, and in my experience more reliable than the plastic ones.

Looking at it again, if you were to remove the brass valve from the hose to leave a female 3/4 thread (looks like you may have a choice of two sizes on there 1/2 and 3/4?).  Then unscrew the clear plastic bayonet quick connect from the machine to give possibly a 1/2 or 3/4 male thread?, you might find the hose will connect directly without requiring a further piece.  Depends also on whether there is a rubber seal in one of the female fittings on the hose  . .

Thanks all so much - I will try the comment about unscrewing the brass valve first (I did try but it didn't want to come away from the pipe itself) or if not I'll try buying the female thread tap connector. Thanks all!
