Mark Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 (edited) I have a few words of advice regarding the Fire Hose Nozzle... Everyone might want to use teflon tape when putting it on. Mine has been on the hose for about a year...and it's not coming off, ever. Edited March 19, 2009 by Mark Can't type or spell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Rich Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 That's bizarre! I've taken mine off and put it on at least a dozen times with no problems. Jason? Adam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But has it been on for a year? I took pliers and a vice to it, it is not coming off. Edited March 19, 2009 by Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Bill-V8V Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I used teflon tape to put a quick connect on to it. Makes it easy to flip back and forth to the foam gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Mark Posted March 19, 2009 Author Share Posted March 19, 2009 (edited) I think I ruined the end of the hose using the vise grips. I'll load it up w/WD40 and see if I can break it free in a day. Being the nozzle is round doesn't help. Edited March 19, 2009 by Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Nitelord Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Do you have hard water? I do and have had several nozzles (Not Adams) corrode to the hose. I had one break off and found nothing left of the hose end but a couple of threads stuck inside the nozzles threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 SVT01LIGHTNING Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 at first i thought u meant it was never coming off cuz you liked it so much:lolsmack: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Junkman2008 Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I use quick disconnects for everything that goes on my hose. They pop on and pop off. Now before you start laughing, that Mr. Clean thing is useless except for the soft water application that it does. Other than that, it's worthless. I haven't used it in probably 2 years. The Wash and Rinse has a directional nozzle which makes it great for washing the undercarriage and wheel wells. If forces out a lot of water too. That's about all it's good for unless you need to wash some second floor windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Junkman2008 Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 where can yu get those quick-disconnects? like at home depot or lowes? I've heard that you can. I got mine somewhere else but I'm hoping that Adam will start carrying them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Chewy Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I finally bought a 75ft rubber house with solid (not pressed) ends on it. It has a hex on them in case this happens. The hose was 70 bucks but it's a heavy duty (for commercial use) hose so it'll last me till I die. The other nice thing is the ends won't crush if you accidently drive over them. I bought rubber because it doesn't get as hard in cold weather or soft in warm weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
