FAQs
What pressure washer models is this hose compatible with?
This hose is compatible with Ryobi Corded Pressure Washers and Ryobi pressure washers rated 100-140 BAR, including models RY100PWA, RY110PWA, RY120PWA, RY130PWA, and RY140PWA.
Is this hose suitable for all Ryobi pressure washers?
No, it is specifically designed for the 100-140 BAR electric models listed. Please check your pressure washer's specifications before purchasing.
How long is the hose?
The hose is 8 meters (approximately 26 feet) in length.
Can I use this hose with a petrol pressure washer?
No, this hose is designed for specific Ryobi electric pressure washer models and is not recommended for use with petrol-powered units.
How does the steel armoring improve performance?
The steel braiding adds significant strength, making the hose more resistant to bursting under pressure, abrasions, and kinking, thus providing a more durable and reliable cleaning experience.
What is the best way to store this hose?
Store the hose loosely coiled in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to maintain its flexibility and protect the steel braiding.
Will this hose fit my non-Ryobi pressure washer?
While some connectors might appear similar, this hose is specifically engineered and tested for the specified Ryobi pressure washer models. Using it with other brands may not be compatible and could pose a safety risk.
Troubleshooting
Hose is leaking at the connection point.
Ensure the hose is screwed on tightly to both the pressure washer and the spray gun. Check the O-ring or washer inside the connection for damage or debris.
Reduced water pressure when using the hose.
Verify the hose is fully compatible with your pressure washer model. Check for any kinks or blockages within the hose length. Ensure the water source is providing adequate flow.
Hose appears stiff and difficult to maneuver.
Allow the hose to warm up to ambient temperature. Store the hose indoors in a temperature-controlled environment when not in use.
Hose is not kink-free as expected.
While designed to resist kinking, severe sharp bends or improper storage can still cause temporary kinks. Ensure you are using the hose with gentle curves and storing it correctly coiled.
