Pressure washer hose

[Pistonbroke]

Has anyone tried using hydraulic hose? It's rated 4000-6000psi dual steel braided and is cheap. Custom lengths. I don't see why it wouldn't work. Just crimp on some fittings.

Yep - works great!

Just looked at the goodyear stuff. Only rated for 3000 psi. I looked at green line and they have ready made hose with a 4000 psi rating and is priced well. Might have to hobble down there tomorrow.

We use the goodyear stuff on all our trucks for steamers, pressure washing, and hydrovacing. Works great as long as people dont kink it when dragging it all the time. What are you washing that you are needing 4000 psi?

I usually don't run it that high, but it would make sense to match the hose to the washer I think.

Nope, but it is a Princess Auto pressure washer.

I hear ya. For the price it works well. Other then the hose deal the washer itself is pretty good. It has some impressive power and starts easy. I would still prefer and electric wall mounted unit but the gas unit gives me some good mobility.

I have a hose that we had at our shop, it's off of our Karcher pressure washer. I was going to use it on my pressure washer, but never got around to it. If you want to give it a try, it's yours, let me know.

Can you change the ends on it? I have odd ball ones on mine.

Why??

Actually it would probably be easier to change the ends on the gun and washer if need be. Ill take you up on the offer and if you are still in Morinville I can pick up tomorrow. When is a good time?

Sorry about that, I didn't get home until a bit ago, I could probably drop it off on Saturday if you want, I don't live in Morinville, I'm SW of town. Actually, I'll run out and throw it in the back of my truck, I have to grab some lumber on my home tomorrow from work and I can drop it off on my way home if you want
The hose is threaded on each end so it should thread into your gun and washer

Had the same problem, paid over a hundred bucks for a good hose, bought it at hotsy, outlasted my pressure washer and it was a 3000 psi , still hanging in my garage waiting for my new pressure washer, worth the extra cash
