Hi
Have broken the spray gun connector for my Mobi pressue washer. Chainreaction no longer stock and the equivalent from aqua2go is 3 euro plus 13 euros postage.

https://www.aqua2go.eu/en/accessoires-uk.html

Has anyone got any advice as loathed to get another gun and a normal garden one is the wrong size connection.

Thanks

Currently using a normal garden one (cheapie from B&Q) just swap the connections over, they unscrew easily. The jet isn't as concentrated as the standard Mobi one though but good enough for me.

The Mobi 17 litre is the same as the Sealey PW1712 and parts for those seem to be readily available if that's any use?

It is the connector at the end of the gun that I have broken.

Are you saying that you change the fitting on the end of the hose as that connection is smaller than the standard male fitting on the end of the garden spray gun that connects to standard size hosepipe.

Thanks

Ahh, I should have read your post a little better. My gun stopped working so I thought yours had done the same, new gun with the old connector is what I did but I see yours is broken.

Hi David,

I have recently broken the same part that you have. I to am loafed to pay that amount for shipping so I am working on 3dprinting one. If you can hold fire then I may have a solution to your problem.

Also broke mine. The part that screws into the gun, so keeping an eye on this.

Can't you just use a standard hoselok reducer fitting, think it's 12mm to micorbore then a standard garden hose will fit?

Hi Meatychi

Impressed with your printed solution.

Have you trialled the fitting and if it works could I purchase one off you?

Thanks

Hi Divid,

Sorry I've been a tad busy with other things however I have had chance to test a number of iterations and the results aren't quite there yet. When the adapter is under pressure there are a few leaks which appear to be coming through the layers. Its going to need more time before a finished product can be produced.
