Simpson Cleaning 80006 Quick-Connect Kit for 3/4-Inch Garden Hoses, Sprinklers, Nozzles, and Pressure Washers

As described. Worked great on my pressure washer.

Excellent brass adapter to make it easy to connect/disconnect your hose. Heavy duty and no leaks after a few months of use with our pressure washer. The plastic connection would have become worn or possibly broke by now, so this is a must for regular use. I normally use the pressure washer for vehicles and drag it all over the drive way, pulling the hose behind the unit. The connection holds tight and doesn't leak at all, so feel confident it is a good product. Would buy again.

This quick-connect kit is a functional accessory with decent quality. It does what it's designed to do, making it easy to connect and disconnect my garden hoses, and nozzles. Overall, it's a useful product that provides the convenience of quick-connect functionality, but it requires a bit of extra work to get a reliable, leak-free connection.

This was used for the quick disconnect connection for the water hose for my pressure washer. Perfect match and good quality.

I used these to replace the cheap, plastic parts on my cheap, electric pressure washer when it snapped off. I had previously tried to use a washing machine hose to connect a male hose fitting to the make fitting on the machine, but this tactic didn't work because the sides of the fitting on the machine are milled flat and will not seal wth a traditional hose washer. This little gem put be back in business, leak free. My only complaint is that the quick connect is difficult to release under pressure (but releases easily if you turn off the supply).

So here is the review you MUST read before purchasing this item. Had someone left a review like I'm about to, you'd have the right information to know whether or not you want to spend $15.71 on this item. And to save you from having to read all the way to the bottom on whether or not to purchase it, I WOULD NOT purchase it again. First, the product DOES WORK with a SUN JOE SPX3000 pressure washer, however there are some modifications needed, which I will cover in this review. Please read below before you order though, trust me. Second, this product is POORLY made and it is NOT BRASS, I repeat, it is NOT BRASS. It's made of substandard aluminum with some el cheapo spray on plating to give it a BRASS color. As for the construction, I've only had it for one day and only tested it once but I don't have very high hopes for it and here is why. It's made from aluminum and extremely soft. How soft, so soft that when I put a wrench on it to tighten it, it flattened the threads on the outside and removed the faux brass plating spray (see pics for the shiny silver spot on the faux brass plating). Third, it doesn't LEAK, well as of now it hasn't leaked during my first optest of it. I did however use plumbers thread sealing tape (you know, the white tape you put on threaded items used in standard plumbing). I used plumbers sealant tape on both the power washer mounting point and garden hose mounting point. Fourth, it's three separate pieces. If you're purchasing this for the Sun Joe power washer, you only use 2 of the 3 pieces. However it's not a straight plug and play. In order to attach it, you must follow the steps below to make it work. 1. Remove the Sun Joe adapter from the base of the power washer. 2. Remove the white plug inside (I used needle nose pliers). You absolutely HAVE TO REMOVE THE WHITE PLUG otherwise when you go to connect the two faux brass pieces together (i.e., when you try to put the male connector (attached to your garden hose), to the female connector (attached to your Sun Joe) the valve inside the female connector can't push down if the white plastic piece is left. 3. Once you've removed the white plastic plug, it's pretty simple and self explanatory from there. Connect the faux brass female adapter to the Sun Joe, connect the faux brass male connector (the male connector "without" the black rubber piece....remember I said you're only using 2 of the 3 pieces that come with it, meaning you're NOT using the faux brass connector with the rubber trim (remember to use plumbers tape on both items your installing to help create a water tight seal though since so many folks complain that it leaks. Again, mine has not leaked "yet" but I have a feeling it will after 2-3 uses since the aluminum is so soft and will likely bend during multiple uses of it. Fifth, and final comment. I was able to get a refund for this item for Amazon today however I did have to call in order to get the refund since Amazons online refund request stated "no refunds allowed". After spending about 5 mins on the phone, they did refund me the price of this item and told me to "keep it" vice sending it back to the company, which I thought was weird. That's about it. As I stated above, I WOULD NOT order this again and will be looking for a solid brass version soon to replace this once as I'm sure it's not gonna last more than 1-2 more uses.

First off anyone that is having issues with this isn't very mechanically inclined. I did have a decent leak on the check valve side but it was just an oring out of place. I had another leak when i attached to my power washer but it was the plastic piece on my washer that was cracked. This kit will outlast your next 5 power washers. Once hooked up it doesn't leak a drop. It makes life easy. I have a dedicated hose real in my shop and leave this on the hose. No more bending over trying to screw the crappy plastic nut on the power washer to attach your hose. You won't regret this 10 dollar purchase.

This does work on my Sun Joe SPX3000, but it's not perfect. Others have said this but not been entirely clear on HOW it works. I tried a couple different methods and found that it is best if you: 1) Remove the filter from the female quick-connector and replace with another standard hose washer, 2) Remove the Sun Joe hose adapter from the unit, 3) Connect the female quick-connector part to the Sun Joe directly, 4) Connect the "main" part of the quick connector directly onto the hose, Once you do that the hose will quick connect to the Sun Joe and should be leak free. The male quick connector part and the Sun Joe adapter aren't used with my setup. When I tried to connect the male quick connect to the female Sun Joe then it leaked (shouldn't have to use pliers, but I did anyway just to be thorough and it didn't help). I suspect it's a problem with the hose connection parts of the adapter, as they have some burrs / a little roughness. Attempting to directly connect the hose to the Sun Joe AFTER trying this male quick connector resulted in leaks too, but I can't be certain which part was at fault. The quick connector works fairly smooth and doesn't leak. I would have given 5 stars if the adapter came with a standard washer in the kit and the male could connect to the plastic female Sun Joe adapter without leaking.
