Overview

This is a 1/4" stainless steel quick-connect socket with a male thread, the female coupler half that accepts a standard 1/4" quick-connect plug on a pressure washer. Thread it onto a gun, lance, or hose fitting and you get tool-free connect and disconnect instead of wrenching fittings apart every time you swap components. Stainless steel construction resists rust and corrosion better than plated steel or brass, which makes it the right pick if you run softwash chemicals, work around saltwater, or just want a coupler that holds up outdoors. It replaces a worn or leaking socket on most gas and electric pressure washers that use the common 1/4" quick-connect system.

Frequently asked questions

It means the coupler body (the socket that accepts a plug) has a male thread on its inlet side. You thread it onto a female-threaded fitting on your gun, lance, or hose, and the socket end then snaps onto any standard 1/4" quick-connect plug.

It fits any setup using the standard 1/4" quick-connect system, which covers most gas and electric pressure washers. Check that the fitting you're threading it onto is female-threaded to match this socket's male thread, and that your mating plug is a 1/4" QC plug.

Stainless steel resists rust and chemical corrosion better than plated steel and holds up better than brass under wear. That matters if you run softwash bleach or other chemicals through your fittings, work near saltwater, or leave equipment exposed outdoors.

Yes, seal the threaded connection as you would any pressure washer fitting — thread sealant or PTFE tape on the male thread prevents weeping at the joint. The quick-connect socket end itself seals with its internal O-ring and needs no sealant.
