If two hoses are connected and they leak at the connection, is this hose washer supposed to stop the leak?

I have had to add 2 or even 3 hose washers when connecting two hoses. I think because it isn't perfectly round anymore.

These washers will improve the connection between two hoses by cushioning the metal adapters and preventing water from flowing out the joints which may not be perfectly compatible.

If the two hoses screw together, they will need a washer or else they will leak. The washer cushions the metal to metal connection and seals it. The connection may also leak even with a washer if either connector is compromised or they are not tightly connected. hope this helps..

Make sure you got the right attachment piece. It shouldn't leak. The unit comes with 4 different connectors. Make sure it is tightly screwed on before snapping on the Pur.

Yes! We had a previous washer and that was one of my concerns! And guess what? My original hose hookup just work fine! No need to adapt a different hose! So far this washer is a great buy!!!

We've had two, and both had leaks in the hose near the connectors within a month or two. We really liked the hose when it worked, but it just doesn't last.

Yes, it's a tight sqeeze to connect, the hose is cheap thou, if it stays twisted or if something is on it during storage, and flattens the hose a little it wont bounce back, which it can interfere with suction power, but is the only replacement I was able to find, with a little vac that works, like forever. My other hose had duck tape all over it, trying to keep it together, it worked for a while, until it was a flat hose :( and it was done. Good luck.

Hello Vikas, firstly you need to determine the source of the leak. It is most likely from one of the connections. Try to isolate which one. If that is the case you can easily fix it yourself by checking each one and making sure that they are tight. If it is coming from the body of the unit then you should return it because that would mean that the product is defective. The instructions aren't great. I would gladly send you a picture of the unit already connected so that you could see it more easily but I don't think there is a way of attaching a picture to my answer. Best of luck.

If your hose connection washers are relatively fresh [pliable] and the connection is tight [pressure against the washers, achieved best by a 1/4 turn past finger tight with hose pliers- expandable locking jaw] then you should have very little leakage. If hose collar (rotating connector with internal threads) is badly warped, damaged or bent, try forming to correct shape and using Teflon Thread Tape to seal against leaks.Replacement hose washers are relatively cheap, often sold in sheets of 20 or so, also individually, at any good garden/outdoor shop.

A brand new hose should come with a washer already installed in it. If that is the case, you don't need to add a second washer. However, as hoses age, so do their washers. That's when these washers come into play. I hope this answers your question. Please feel free to ask anything else.

That is what the "Stop" on the barrel means. This connector will stop the flow of water when disconnected.

That's a good question. I don't really know, but I returned my second pocket hose today with no problem. I'm still waiting for my third pocket hose to spring a leak. Be sure you check out the over five hundred complaints on this pocket hose. I didn't. Good luck. P.S.,I got my money back today.

I had mine installed by a plumber. It has never leaked. Perhaps one of the hoses leading up to that head is not tightened?

I bought two of these, and neither leak. This did come with a supplied washer. They are standard hose washers. You will also need another on the hose being attached, if there isn't one.

Hi Vikas, i had that same problem in the beginning, I changed the hose and it still happened but it wasnt drastic, i tightened the hose and since its been fine with no problems. Not sure where it is leaking from but check the hose connections, I hope this helps.

This is a low pressure fitting used to connect the supply water hose to the intake side of the power washer pump. You cannot use it on the high pressure (output) side of the pump. All you need is one. With the gaskets supplied with the fitting, I was not able to get a non-leaking seal between the connector and the hose or the pump. I replaced the supplied flat gaskets with the equivalent O-rings, and that stopped the leaks.

Yes, the previous unit started to leak and I replaced it with another. The present unit is working fine.

No. Both of the hoses I own have the same problem. I just wrapped tape around the connectors and don't use the function that shuts them off at the connector, because then they leak right through the hose. It's a problem I just decided to live with. Otherwise I like the hose.

In mine, the rubber washer was not fully inside the female end, and water came out there, but the fix was easy. That is the usual place for leaks - at the connection points.
