Does hose diameter from pressure washer outlet to gun matter?

Newbie Questions
1

I’m wondering if it matters what hose diameter I run from a 8gpm pressure washer to the gun?

2

For an 8 gpm I usually use a 8/16 hose

Thanks for answering so quickly! If you don’t mind me asking, what hoses have you found to work best for you? I’ve seen a lot of people recommend flexzilla, uberflex, ect, in your opinion what is the best bang for the buck?

I think it’s safe to say the majority of housewashers and concrete cleaners use the grey 1 wire non-marking hose, although I do go through 200’ a year.

If you only have 16/32” could that be used with similar results? :thinking: :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Only if you cut it in half…

8

Length wise, right?

of course!..it’s more economical too, cutting the 16/32 into two 8/16. The 16/32 hose seems to run the same price as the 8/16, so if I can get twice as much length out of it, I’ll cut it in half all day long…
