Are the Karcher quick connects plastic or brass?

I have this electric pressure washer as well as a gas washer. I just went to my garage to take a look at the connects to answer your question. There are a couple of quick connects on this unit. The water supply hose screws into a plastic, yellow quick disconnect that stays attached to the pressure washer when not in use. The other quick disconnect is on the pressure hose/wands. The hose side is a brass tip that attaches to the front of the unit (a mixed plastic and brass connection). The handle side of the wand uses one of two provided nozzles, both of which are spring loaded to attach to the handle, both plastic. The implication of your question implies a concern for the quality of the unit. I have used this machine as well as a prior, smaller unit with no failure due to the quality of the connections. I hope this answers your factual question as well as your implied concerns. This is a well made, useful product. It does what you want it to. It is not a gas model pressure washer but it is a good electric pressure washer.

The water hose inlet connection is plastic. One end screws onto the front of the unit and the other end screws on to the water hose then you snap the water hose end onto the front of the unit. I disconnect the inlet water hose from the unit when I move it to be safe. The power wash hose is metal at both ends. It snaps into the front of the unit and into the handle.

The unit connection to the hose is plastic and very cheap. My connector broke but fortunately I was able to connect the hose directly to the intake. I guess that some bean counter figured that they could save a couple of bucks. What bothered me is the placement of the intake hose on the front of the unit, with the hose at the top of the unit the unit can easily become unstable - very poor design - my unit has toppled over several times. I had an older unit which had a better design but eventually died and unfortunately the accessories do not fit the new design. I couldn't recommend this model.

Yes it connects using a quick connect fitting. All of us in our 4wheeler group uses Vair. I took the screw on connector for the valve stem and installed a a regular push type with a clamp from Harbor Freight $2.oo, easier connect, safer for valve stem. This compressor fills the fastest. The next model up fills slower but is continuous duty. I picked this one for output volume. Works great.

I'm guessing brass. Just an open close valve, doesn't seem complicated to me.

I just looked it up on their site. The metal connector is 4050, not 4001. 4001 is the plastic one with chrome finish.

Pry bars are plastic and the drivers are metallic. Great combo for fixing any small electronics.

I replaced the plasic adapter with a brass quick connect kit ( Powerwasher 80006 Universal Pressure Washer Garden Hose Quick Connect Kit) which I purchased from Amazon. The quick connect is very easy to use and does not leak. I'm sure there are other brass afapters available, but I wanted the quick connect feature.

I have a little brass adapter. Screws on Presta then a Schrader gauge fits. Some bicycle pedals have a male screw this adapter fits on so you can use Schrader pumps. Happy Trails

Comes with a brass stainless steel handle. The handle connects to the valve cartridge with is made out of a white plastic creating a flimsy/wably handle (commond in most pf valves

I am not sure which system it was but I replaced a full plastic head system with these brass heads and love the way they work. I researched these before I bought them and the info I gathered showed that they are all interchangeable. Hope this helps.

Got mine at Lowe's. Came in a set. Plastic was all I could find. http://www.lowes.com/pd_99357-306-39QCGF_0__?productId=1115587&Ntt;=hose+quick+connect&pl;=1&currentURL;=%3FNtt%3Dhose%2Bquick%2Bconnect&facetInfo;=

No, I recommend getting a brass 1/8th NPT -> 3/16th barb connector and Lezyne ABS Floor Pump Hose (available on amazon). It's 100 timer nicer than what's included and handles presta AND shrader.

Yes. Both ends have high quality brass hose connections. The Male end is all brass and the female end has a well made plastic connector. I have quick disconnects on both ends for emptying a water tank using a transfer pump; haven't had any problems.

Unfortunately it's plastic. I don't think you can buy real brass these days unless you pay an arm and a leg for it.

Type of metal and mounting pattern is about the only thing I can see. Both would appear to be quick release.

On mine, the threaded part is brass. The plastic is is there to offer a better grip.

Its made out of brass and nickel I believe.... No plastic what so ever except the pads on the valve keys...

Brass. Our first set did not work, but they sent replacements, which work fine
