Hey guys, Im ordering a new pressure hose for my dewalt 3800 3.5gal machine. This is my first time ordering a replacement hose, and it appears the dewalt hose has different connections than the hoses Im seeing on powerwash.com and united hose. Am i nuts? Do all pressure hoses have the same connection type?
Heres the one i came across for dewalt replacement: https://www.amazon.com/DEWALT-N000579-Hose-Assembly-50/dp/B00Y0ITWSO
Thats a horrible pic they have on that amazon link and a horrible prince for 50 feet. Take a picture of your pressure washer where the end connects but it should be a standard fitting. I have seen some cheaper washers that thread in rather then quick connects though.
I concur on the price! Seems steep compared to the sites mentioned here in the forums. What would you recommend ordering to replace this hose?
Shoot, I bought 100’ for less than that, but that was local and I’m sure I could have gotten it cheaper than that, but was in a bind.
United hose. You gotta call them old school, but they’re about $1/foot with built in swivels.
Everything else is overpriced for what it is.
Plus one on what squid said but if you want to do this for real you need at least 200ft that will reach around majority houses.
And wheel your DeWalt deep in the woods and leave it for archaeologists to find 1000 years from now.
Got it. I discovered united thanks to you guys here. I just wanted to make sure the connections were the same. Ill be giving them a call!
Thank you guys
Those are standard connections and with a good hose you can replace the ends once they start rusting\corroding to make your life easier.
Good luck to ya man!
Haha, ill need it for the next 4 months or so, but after that…sure why not
just take the Honda off first. 
What length hoses do you guys run? I’m going to order a couple hundred feet but what’s the best way to get it? 50ft, 75ft, 100ft+ sections? From what I’ve read and seen I would think a couple different sections so that you can replace any that wear out.
3…2 50s and a 100
I’ve read where some will get a couple 100’ hoses in case one wears out but have also read where they don’t roll up as nice due to the fittings where the hoses hook together. Most wear out where they connect to the gun. I’m going to go with the recommendation of getting an 8’ whip line and attaching it to a 200’ hose. I’d rather replace an 8’ whip line than a 50’ or 100’ hose. When the whip line wears out I’ll have another on hand to replace it with and hopefully the 200’ hose will last a little while. I also plan on having extra hose just not stored on the reel.
I have a couple of 50ft lengths already. I think I will go with a couple more 100ft lengths.
225’s That’s it. Not fussing with multiple pressure hoses and fittings that get caught on junk blah blah. You don’t have to pull the entire thing off the reel if you don’t need to.
If you look closer you will see this…
I use these on the quick connects on both ends, so 4 in total for me. Keep them from being dragged and collecting mud, once that happens is hard to get quick connects apart.
Also have one about 6 feet from my gun, keeps the hose from wearing down just about when it hits the ground
@squidskc That’s a good point. Do you just do a field repair if need be or carry a spare 225 with you?
Your last order from United is what led me to wanting to use 96" whip lines and why to use them. You posted your receipt in an older post and explained the reasoning for the whip lines.
Makes a lot of sense about fittings getting caught up on stuff. I’m sure as you’re pulling to the back of the house they could get caught on the edge of the driveway, downspout, bushes, trees, etc. A straight run of hose won’t get caught on anything. I know I’d get frustrated if I was having to run back to flip it off of whatever it’s caught on and again when I’m winding them up.
@Ikii Those black things would definitely help to keep the quick connects from dragging on the ground but that sure is a big target to get hung up on stuff.
No spare on the truck. Have a couple 100 footers in the shop, but if a hose blows I’ll take it right to a place called Engineered Sales Hose that’s in downtown KC. They’ll repair it in minutes. And I’ll order another one from United.
We’ve never had a hose blow out knock on wood. They’re not common enough for me to carry a cumbersome spare around. I do carry an extra whip line though.
