The component that the hose is made up of is important as this will influence its pricing, durability and flexibility.

The widely available 3 types in the market are:

• Plastic Hose: This hose is the most affordable one, it is used in light duty and medium duty pressure washers. Though being quite flexible users wished that this could have been more flexible. A garden hose is made of plastic PVC.
• Rubber hose or Synthetic Hose: A good garden hose will be ideally made of this material, however a 50 foot rubber high pressure hose will cost anything upwards of $ 50 or more.
• Polyurethane Hose: This hose offers the best of everything that one can look for in terms of durability, flexibility, weight etc however it is also the most expensive one for reasons outlined.

Connection Type

An adaptor will always be required to make optimum use of the hose, therefore it does not matter  what type of connection your pressure gun, wand or pressure washer is.

Here’s what connections are out there:

• Female and Male M22 threaded –  Make sure your gun is M22 male as all replacement hoses are M22 female on both ends.
• Female and Male Quick-connect – These Quick connect  connections are normally packaged and included with the pressure washers, in case extra are needed please order them at the time of purchase.
