It's really great and exciting to find someone that is as obsessed as I am about all this nerdy stuff Lol....
0:10 Just here in my garage with my stainless quick disconnects, but you know what I like more than stainless.....KNOWLEDGE
XD Killed me
Oh these are slick!!! They will look good on my hoses for sure!! Awesome addition to the store Matt
Eley has QD’s on lock, never had a better one. They last forever, smooth as butter and serviceable.
They are too bulky for my taste. I've never had one of these fail, but I've had several of theirs.
I like this kind of discussion video 👌 Learning a lot!
Good choice of hose material and crimping that what I use at the winery we use what’s called Pacific coast thread.
Thank you so much for the video and information.🙂
I was just looking to see if these were available over the weekend. I couldn’t find them anywhere. Thank you.
Just ordered them on ebay. One seller had two sets; one female qr with 3 males, and also a set of 3 female qr with 3 males. I bought one of each because I got spare couplings beyond the two I needed and plenty of males. The same seller has the other set but I found out they ship from different locations. The 1 female, 3 male comes from amazon distribution and got here quicker, the other 3 and 3 set comes from texas and is taking a little longer and I am still waiting for. www.ebay.com/itm/254395050012
Great video, i'm on board for sure
Bro how did you manage to get an amazing garage like this ? Amazed
Digging the new intro Matt!
I like it too. Scrapped Media made it for me.
Heyo.
Make sure you guys stick around until the end and check out the new outro too.
Good stuff. Looking forward to these on my new pressure washer!
I've been using Dramm Heavy Duty quick disconnects for my low pressure hose. They're made in the USA and work great. Much better quality than other amazon brands, or even the cheap ones at Lowes. All my high pressure quick disconnects are MTM however. And as much as i like the Dramm, if i had known MTM made them at the time i ordered all my Dramm units, i would have went to MTM just for consistency. But for someone looking at other options, check out the Dramm Heavy Duty. Again, made in the USA.
Yup exactly. I wont even think of buying something if it first doesnt look good.
gotta pick up some
If use these components for both from the spigot and to the nozzle - will these impede water flow? Sorry for the stupid question.
OK, so I want to connect my Vortexx pressure washer with my garden hose and to the house outlet, what do I need? Also, I want to connect another garden hose to the back of the house from the outlet. Do I need 1 for each end of the hose and 1 for the water outlet to the back of the house?
Both ends are consumable... it has been my experience that the male end wears out first because of the stainless steel ball bearings rubbing on the brass.
@Obsessed Garage When will your inlet hoses be back in stock? I'm needing a 6.5'er.
I need this tomorrow am and I’m in Bakersfield 🤦♂️ I’m stressing out I can’t find something similar anywhere
Does the socket make the seal with an o-ring, or with the rubber gasket inside the female GHT thread? I have found that QD's that rely on the hose gasket to make the seal against the plug are very finicky to get it tightened just the right amount so that the plug will actually go in but also not leak. Some of the higher end QD's like Garrett Wade couplers have o-rings either inside the socket or on the plug to make the seal, which means they'll still connect and seal regardless of how tight the socket fitting is tightened onto the hose.
The coupler has an rubber o-ring. The plug uses the hose's o-ring. It's not perfect, but they work.
Hey Matt when with the 100ft hose be back in stock ??
I’m using eley quick connect. They are really good.
I think they are too bulky.
@@ObsessedGarage they are 3/4 inside diameter. I use it on power washing set ups.
hi do you have adapter for karsher? (for my nozzles) i need adapter for new gun thank you
Where are those stainless steel couplers made? Off shore or in the USA?
With those connectors are you able to connect the gun to a garden hose. I realize it wont be the same pressure as a pressure washer but there are times that I want the versatility of the tips vs a traditional hose gun
No, it's a different type of connection.
Maybe use a short piece of hydraulic hose with stainless hydraulic fittings?
That problem is we don't have the pressure required coming out of garden hose bib. You need the larger inside diameter of the hose to not restrict flow.
When are the 1/4 mtm quick disconnects available again? I am waiting for about 2 months now. Do you have an update about the delivery time?
I have 1,000 coming this week. They showed up a month early at MTM!
have you ever tested and compared the eley quick connects vs mtm in terms of function, durability/longevity, and flow?
Eley quick connects are in another league! If you want the absolute best - go for Eley connects.
Im looking for an amazing hose to use for pressure washing, not the pressure washer hose but the garden hose one. Ive used both rubber and expandable and the rubber ones end up busting at the ends , expandables get pin hole wounds. I was thinking i should maybe use those spring attachments to each end but really need a god to honest opinion on a hose that will last. I dont use the pressure washer a whole lot but both hoses i bought so far didnt las a month.
This is the hose you are looking for. It's legit.
Skip to 5:30 for the content described in the title.
Hi Matt, thanks for another great video and package. I am very interested to know more about brass crimped connect for 5/8” hose? In Europe and I believe in other places I can buy a hose only to create simple solution but finding good quality crimped connect is hard. Where do you supply yours as I believe those are not part of the package? Thanks!
I get the hose built and crimped by a guy in California. I'd like to be able to make my own hoses some day.
@@ObsessedGarage Will you lose water flow or pressure using quick connects?
Can anyone show me the link to the pressure washer fittings quick connects .... I want to quick connect my garden hose to my Simpson pressure washer but I need the part that goes on the end of my garden hose and I need the part that goes on the pressure washer so it can quick connect to my garden hose
The id of these fittings are 5/8s right?
I too have just bought the stainless. Understand the stainless is also harder material and will also holds its shape better. Brass is softer and will defom, pit, and develop deformities more easily. Stainless is a steel and is a more durable and a better material. I had to go with brass ends for the hoses because I could not really find stainless barbed replacement ends but WHO CARES if you mix brass and stainless for the two connections next to each other. LOOKS? Get serious, it is a hose for petes safe. Mixing materials is not an issue as far as being dissimilar. It is not like you have issues with electrolysis like in electrical applications. This is a hose. The stainless quick release it also being connected and reconnected causing more abuse, the brass hose end is just fixed and does not get abused hardly at all. If you care that much about looks for your hose having brass and stainless mixed, maybe you are too prissy to even be working with a garden hose, let your servant do it for you; LOL.
Why not use 3/4 over 5/8? More water flow with 3/4 for pressure washer would be better no?
I used to use 3/4" hoses, but they get too heavy. Remember that your line in the wall is likely 1/2", so that is the limit.
Is your Continental Rubber hose better than Eley’s Polyurethane hose? (primarily for gardening/landscaping, and sometimes car-washing)
(yours is priced better though)
Also, which do you think is a better hose-reel for gardening/landscaping - Eley or Cox?
Lastly, MTM vs. Eley fittings?
(Eley fittings seem super expensive)
Yes, I like it much more. The Poly hose tends to kind and is really grabby when winding it up. The Eley reel is much better for that application. I prefer the much less precise Chinese sourced MTM QDs over the Eley. Eley QDs are really pretty, but they are also really heavy.
Obsessed Garage Awesome to hear! 👍
Obsessed Garage one more question... the Eley sprayer gun package looks super nice too - simple and very robust looking.
You know of anything better by any chance? (which has both a gentle “rain” setting and a strong “laser” setting)
Been very happy with my German-made Gardena gun... but, it’s plastic. Want something super nice like that Eley gun.
@@LessTalkMoreDelicious Eley watering nozzle for plant watering is untouchable. 4 different screens to switch out to your desired output. Built like a tank. I love OG’s picks for the most part but Eley has really primo stuff and back it up with 10 year warranty.
Need help - bought a ryobi 1900 and my brass quick disconnect from the water hose to the pressure washer will leak and stay jammed once the pressure is built up on my washer - after id have to screw off the quick connect and ball bearing dug into the make connectors- Went thru 3-4 male connectors - why does this jam once the pressure is built up - but if I do a standard hose connector it is fine w no leaks - please help
It would make sense that once you release the pressure from the pump, should release just fine.
So these work on inlet hoses and garden hoses? If I've got a power washer (sunjoe) can anyone tell me inlet hose vs garden hose if my water spicket is close by?
Yep, will work on any standard hose. 3/4" GHT
Matt any plans to source us a 3/4” diameter hose that doesn’t kink? Also where are those OG spray bottles?
Spray bottles were shelved for now. I couldn't find anything I wanted to put my name on. I'll have a 3/4" hose for you by the end of the year.
These don't look like QD's with the ball stopper's inside. is that something you don't prefer? I have 2 different types...one is the full flow, similar to these, and the other has a ball stopper that doesn't seem to inhibit flow but you can hot swap items without turning the water off....and also without getting sprayed by back pressure.
It may not stop flow, but having the ball in there and the narrowing of the path because of the components will create some degree of flow loss. The ball would be solid and have to move to the side causing the water to bend around it, rather than a valve where it is actually rotated by you and a larger hole is created on the other axis straight in the waters path. It is easier to just install a ball shutoff valve inline right before the fitting and I get nice brass ones. That way you do not have to go back to the spigot. They are durable and do not walk when you adjust them. You can also use the ball valve as a way to control the flow if you want to adjust it or dial it down for certain applications.
I don't know.......if everything else is stainless then I'm definitely on-board. Since everything else is already brass.....kinda seems unnecessary....'though I DO LIKE the additional bearings in the female fitting. As far as putting the SS fittings onto the brass fittings..... it seems like you'd run into the dissimilar metal corrosion issues. I fully appreciate the respect for SS fittings....but to take this to its logical conclusion we'd need to get Kranzle on board and get the Goodyear hoses equipped with SS fittings.
MUCH RESPECT.
Is it funny that my OCD doesn't like the change in color from Brass to SS? Sure the SS is better, but I'd rather just toss a grungy brass fitting when it gets there (takes some time) then look at the mismatched connection ends.
I agree to some extent. I'm hoping to source great stainless fitting for hoses, buy my own machine, and start making custom sized hoses myself to offer to the world.
Obsessed Garage nice!
Matt I’m trying to order these and ship to NJ. Getting a message “there are no shipping methods available for your cart or destination”
I got the same message when I tried ordering the female couplers.
Fixed! I forgot to put the dimensions in.
Are there any concerns with Galvanic Corrosion between the brass and steel under long term contact?
I haven't seen any issues with it, but doing unlike metals isn't preferred.
For two screwed on fittings it is not an issue on a garden hose. Any comments otherwise are unfounded. Many are speaking out based on different applications where contact will have an affect over time. This application is not the same as maybe some of those. People have a habit crossing one situations results over to another situation. They are not looking at the facts completely in every use case. That is an unfortunate failing.
Matt what’s up with this bead maker will you review it
Yes, I'll be testing it this weekend.
What parts would I need to connect say, two 100ft garden hoses to make one continuous 200ft hose?
I wouldn't use Quick Disconnects to do that. You'll want to just screw the male and female ends together from each hose.
Obsessed Garage sooo I just need one male connector?
Obsessed Garage Just a single female who’s not mechanically inclined trying to water her damn lawn that’s a 1/2 acre in this crazy Florida no rain heat......
And this is off topic kinda... but let’s say I have a 5 gallon bucket of water with water/fertilizer in it and I’d like to sprinkle my lawn with it; is there a gizmo doohickey with a spray nosel head I can place in said bucket to distribute its contents. Dying lawn, damn crazy and red ants
Matt, have you reviewed the Eley disconnects? I’m curious about your thoughts on them compared to yours. Thanks
I have them originally about 10 years ago. It didn't like them at all. They are very stout and extremely pretty, but they are super bulky. They are okay for the hose bib, but not the end of the hose. I much prefer these cheap ones. They are much lighter and more practical.
Will these fit the Eley hose/nozzle?
Definitely
I wish you would have a cheaper shipping option, shipping is more than the items I wanted to order!!
I've got a solution for you, order more stuff. Ha, ha... I get it man. Shipping is a killer. The minimum cost for shipping a tiny item is $3.50, and it goes up quickly from there.
Can you stop making packages, your making me go broke! Also I’m super hyped about the microfiber package
Ha, ha... I'm built to do this!
Is pneumatic qrc suitable for water application?
Should be
Thanks
Do the brass ones swivel?
The all swivel a bit, since they have ball bearings.
You go on as though there is just a single standard in a quick connect fitting. There are at least 2 and unfortunately they can not be interchanged. Do you know this? If so, why not show this in the video?
So early it’s not even 1080p
Matt, how about getting MTM to just make stainless quick disconnect fittings with hose barb on one end so the brass fittings are not necessary
I'm working on it!
However the quick release fitting can wear out or you may want to change the application or use case. Hoses also come in different diameters so making qr is sizes is more involved, more costly and more complicated. It is easier and more practical to just use a separate threaded replacement end, and screw on a universal hose threading qr. You can move the qr or replace it, without having to redo the end of the hose. You can move them to another hose more easily. Applying a hose end sometimes results in problems taking it off and reattaching particularly if it is a crimp on which means a crimp on qr is not as ideal.
Sorry matt. Old intro much better
You didn’t install or attach the quick release. Talk, talk, talk only. Must show, show, show.
You’re intro is too long lol a couple revs is enough
It's 10 seconds bro.
