Can you repair a cut pressure washer hose?

Sandman,

You can't repair that with simple hose barbs and clamps, it won't hold. You need high pressure fittings. Go to a hydraulic shop like for Parker Fittings or some Napa stores make and repair hoses. You can either get crimp type fittings which they will crimp in a hydraulic machine or there are Aeroquip fittings that are reusable and screw on. The one time crimp are easier to find and cheaper. This should only cost you 10-20 bucks.

I doubt a screw camp will hold this for long....it is 3000+ psi and it has an impulsive vibration to it as well, I think hydraulic press is the way to go, I just don't know anyone out here that has one.... I will swing buy a place that **might** know how to fix it. There is not much call for this I would think out here but perhaps with all the construction going on someone has the gear to fix this.

Pisses me off cause it is brand new.

thanks

Jim - check with a marine shop that does hydraulic steering lines... with that said it would be far cheaper to buy another hose shipped to your door than an island marine shop repairing it for you
