Overview

This is a 1/4" zinc plated steel male quick-connect plug for pressure washer plumbing — the plug half that snaps into a matching 1/4" quick-connect socket. Use it to convert a threaded connection point on your hose, trigger gun, lance, or machine outlet into a tool-free quick-connect, so you can swap guns, wands, and accessories in seconds instead of wrenching fittings on and off. Zinc plating gives the steel body corrosion resistance for wet-duty work. Pair it with a 1/4" quick-connect socket (coupler) of the same size; it is a common replacement when an old plug gets worn, rusty, or starts to leak at the collar.

What's included

  • Zinc plated steel body resists rust and corrosion
  • Snaps into any standard 1/4" quick-connect socket

  • Direct replacement for worn or leaking plugs

Frequently asked questions

It mates with a standard 1/4" quick-connect socket (the female coupler half). The socket's spring-loaded collar locks onto this plug, giving you a tool-free connection between your hose, trigger gun, lance, or machine outlet.

Match it to the quick-connect socket you already have — this plug pairs with 1/4" sockets only. 1/4" is the most common quick-connect size on pressure washer guns and lances; if your existing plug measures noticeably larger, check our 3/8" couplers instead.

Yes, the zinc plating is there specifically to protect the steel from rust in wet pressure-washing service. For maximum corrosion resistance in harsh chemical or coastal environments, stainless or brass fittings hold up longer, but zinc plated steel is the standard, economical choice.

Use thread seal tape or pipe sealant on the threaded end when installing any pressure washer fitting — it prevents leaks at the threads. The quick-connect end itself seals with the socket's internal O-ring and needs no sealant.
