More control.
Less fatigue.
A compact, lockable pressure-washer gun with a 360° swivel inlet, five nozzles, and both M22-14 mm and 3/8-inch quick-connect options.
Read before connecting
This is not a garden-hose spray gun.
It connects to a pressure-washer hose using a compatible 3/8-inch quick connect or M22-14 mm fitting. A garden hose alone cannot power the gun and will not connect to the included fittings.

Correct connector placement
Hose at the base. Nozzle at the front.
- Rear/base: connect the pressure-washer hose using the installed 3/8-inch QC plug or the included M22-14 mm adapter.
- Front: thread the brass 1/4-inch quick-connect coupler into the gun’s outlet.
- Nozzle: plug one colored nozzle into the brass front coupler. Never attach a nozzle to the rear inlet.
Owner’s manual
Set up in six steps
Connector check
Base for the hose. Brass coupler and one nozzle at the front.
The two ends do different jobs. At the base of the handle, use one hose connection: either the direct 3/8-inch quick connect or the M22-14 mm adapter. At the front, install the brass quick-connect coupler first, then insert one spray nozzle.
M22-14 mm adapter
Screw the included adapter onto the gun first, then hand-tighten a compatible M22-14 mm hose.
Brass coupler + one nozzle
Thread the brass coupler into the front outlet. Pull its collar back, insert one nozzle stem, release, and tug-test.
Do not force a fit. Garden-hose fittings, M22-15 mm fittings, and proprietary connectors need a separate compatible adapter.
Shut down and depressurize
Turn off the pressure washer, close the water supply, and squeeze the old gun trigger until pressure is fully released.
Identify your hose end
Use the 3/8-inch quick-connect inlet when your pressure-washer hose has a matching female quick coupler. Use the included M22-14 mm adapter for a compatible M22-14 mm hose.
Attach the inlet
Connect the hose firmly to the selected inlet. Make sure the O-ring is present, clean, and seated. Never force mismatched threads or fittings.
Fit the front coupler, then one nozzle
Thread the brass quick-connect coupler into the gun’s front outlet with its O-ring seated. Then pull back the coupler collar, insert one nozzle stem completely, release the collar, and tug gently to confirm it is locked.
Restore water and check
Turn on the water supply first. Check every connection for leakage before starting the pressure washer.
Start low and test safely
Start the machine and test the spray on an inconspicuous area from a safe distance. Move closer only as needed.

Spray guide
Choose the safest nozzle for the surface
Begin with a wider fan and greater distance. Narrow sprays can damage paint, wood, glass, seals, and soft materials.

Safety first
High-pressure water can cause serious injury.
- Wear eye protection and closed-toe footwear.
- Never point the gun at people, animals, electrical equipment, or yourself.
- Engage the safety lock whenever the gun is not in use.
- Turn off the machine and release pressure before changing fittings or nozzles.
- Do not exceed 5,000 PSI or the pressure rating of the weakest component in your setup.
Troubleshooting
Fast answers before you return it
The hose does not fit
Confirm that it is a pressure-washer hose. Identify whether the hose end is 3/8-inch quick connect or M22-14 mm. Garden-hose ends and M22-15 mm fittings are not directly compatible.
The connection leaks
Turn everything off and release pressure. Inspect the O-ring for damage, dirt, or misalignment. Reconnect squarely and hand-tighten threaded fittings. Replace a damaged O-ring before use.
The nozzle will not lock in
First confirm that the brass quick-connect coupler is threaded into the gun’s front outlet and its O-ring is seated. Pull the coupler collar fully back, push one nozzle stem all the way in, release the collar, and tug gently before restoring pressure.
The spray has very little pressure
This gun does not create pressure by itself. Confirm the pressure washer is running, the water supply is open, the nozzle is fully seated, and the hose is not kinked.
The hose twists while I work
Let the swivel inlet rotate naturally. Straighten severe hose loops before starting and avoid tightening the rear collar against the swivel movement.
I need a different adapter
Match the adapter to both your pressure-washer hose and the gun inlet. Check your machine or hose manual for the exact fitting standard before purchasing an adapter.
