Connecting Indoor Tap to Pressure Washer

tri3

Hi,

Does anyone know what are the best attachments to use to connect an indoor tap to a pressure washer and where to get them? I've seen several different Hozelock types on the internet.

I plan on getting the Nilfisk pressure washer in the link below. Would I need a separate hose to connect to the tap and then connect the hose to the pressure washer? So therefore is there two attachments required, not just one?

I'd be using this for car cleaning mainly.

All you will need is a length of garden hose,a quick release hose fitting for the pressure washer end (1 euro 50 cents in B&Q) and also a hose to tap connector.

These are around 5-8 euro in B&Q or any good diy store.

Simples.

Yes, you will need a garden hose. The hose shown in the picture is the hose that goes from the washer to the wand, you have to supply the (ordinary garden hose) that feeds the washer.
