I’m not sure if this is common, but my unit can with 3/8 for my male ends and quick connect ends. I had to upgrade to 1/2 on my wand because the weight and force of my turbo nozzle was wearing them out. That shoulda reduced my pressure but I can’t tell any difference, which I don’t mind. Is 1/2 what most use on your connections?
That’s not how that works. Don’t use 1/2 inch quick connects.
Why not
Do you use a turbo nozzle? It’s roughly 6 inches long and 3 pounds. The pressure behind it is unreal. Maybe I’m over reacting, but are there anyways to prevent wearing so quickly?
Cheap O-rings. It’s not your turbo nozzle. Viton O-rings. You’ll have to change them twice a year.
I don’t want to speak for Will but I imagine he goes through more turbo nozzles in a year than we would in 10.
whats That connected to the bottom of the turbos?

Do they affect performance at all? Obviously not much or you wouldn’t have them on there. Just wondering if you can tell a difference at all
Thanks. lol

makes them last longer. Keeps trash out of the ceramics.
Appreciate all the info. So I’m guessing even though mine is a commercial hot water unit. All quick connects that come with the machine are cheap and useless?
I use the absolute cheapest quick connects I can find. $2-3 on zoro. BUT thanks to @Innocentbystander telling me about viton o-rings, I ordered 2 bags from pressuretek and change out all the cheap o-rings immediatedly to vitons. Before I was having similar problems. O-rings going bad.
Especially on the rented hot water units. Rarely have to change o-rings since I started swapping them with good ones.

I thought you only used Suttner turbo nozzles
Most of those are
