WARNING - NOT FOR MOST PRESSURE WASHER HOSES
THIS FITTING IS DESIGNED FOR SAE 100R5 HOSE ONLY.
DO NOT USE THIS FITTING ON STANDARD 3/8" ID, 4,000 PSI PRESSURE WASHER HOSE.
Most commercial pressure washer hoses rated for 4,000 PSI use hose constructions and reinforcement systems that are different from SAE 100R5.
This fitting is NOT a universal replacement for reusable fittings used on:
- 3/8" ID 4,000 PSI pressure washer hoses
- Commercial hot-water pressure washing hoses
- SAE 100R1 rubber-covered hydraulic hoses
- SAE 100R2 two-wire braided hydraulic hoses
- Most carpet cleaning truckmount solution hoses
- Most tile and grout cleaning pressure hoses

Why This Fitting Will Not Repair Most 4,000 PSI Pressure Washer Hoses
A typical commercial 3/8-inch ID, 4,000 PSI pressure washer hose is designed for high-pressure water delivery and may incorporate reinforcement and outer-cover construction different from SAE 100R5.
Although both types of hose may contain steel-wire reinforcement, their internal construction and fitting attachment requirements can be different.
SAE 100R5 fittings are not automatically interchangeable with pressure washer hose fittings.
Do not use this reusable fitting on a 4,000 PSI pressure washer hose unless the exact hose and fitting combination is specifically approved by the manufacturer for that service.
A matching 3/8-inch male pipe connection does not establish hose compatibility.
Important SAE 100R5 Hose Sizing Information
SAE 100R5 uses a different hose sizing convention from many standard hydraulic and pressure washer hoses.
For example:
| SAE 100R5 Dash Size |
Actual Hose Inside Diameter |
| -04 |
3/16" |
| -05 |
1/4" |
| -06 |
5/16" |
| -08 |
13/32" |
Do not assume a dash -06 SAE 100R5 fitting is designed for conventional 3/8-inch ID pressure washer hose.
