Good quality hose with connectors?

[KyL3]

What hose have people got? Had some from argos that was useless and kept on kinking, any good quality ones with the connectors for the washer and tap? Cheers

Hose lock?

I have the Karcher Premium Hose-Reel but anything that has a thickness of 12.5mm+ will be fine.. Hozelock, Draper etc

You don't want to use poor quality hoses, especially with a pressure washer as it will starve the water to the washer which in turn can cause a failure of the pump.

This stuff never kinks and is what i've used for all of my businesses since 2008. Been driven over countless times and it's still going strong.

And you want Hozelock connectors like Dave says.

Not a bad price for the length if it's heavy duty

Cheeers mate! Doesnt state what size those connectors are or wouldnt it matter?

 

[Bluebeard]

They're a standard size. They're a tight fit on heavy duty hose but they work perfectly.
I had a Inch thick water main at my last place (mental pressure) and it held up with the water switched on permanently for 2 years.

Hozelock here, decent and lasted years.

Yeah messaged the guy said they are to fit a hose 16mm on the outside diammeter. So any heavy duty 12.5mm hose they will fit on?

They fit 'upto' 16mm. They fit fine on 12.5.

I got a 30m hoselock starter hose set from homebase back in the summer for 30 quid. Seems good quality although only used once so cannot comment on it.
