    You should also make sure the separate hose you are buying will fit the Kacher unit.

    yes it will fit... spoke with the people there and they sell karcher accessories so everything is the right pieces and with quick release..

    Those are some nice prices, I just bought a new pressure washer this weekend and it was 400.00. If that fits your needs I would go for it.

    yeah i wanted something mobile... and this setup would work with any PW.. so if my karcher fails .. i can always get another PW and use the foam gun setup with hose..

    Karcher makes a bayonnet style adapter to fit their gun.

    Pressureparts part # 4762061 adapter and coupler #331212

    $15.00 for both

    yes..the hose and gun are cheap....I bought a new hose and gun at Lowes..it was a much better quality ...the stock hose was stiff and kinked..the new hose is rubber type....very flexible and the gun is way better also....

    UPDATE.... I tested the setup 3 days ago and again today to see if it made a difference... the different nozzle works well with wand but unfortunately, THE FOAM GUN doesnt have enough psi to create thick suds and that nice foam... Im really upset and i want to share to you guys that the gun set up listed above should be use with gas powered PW....

    Sorry to hear it didn't work out for you. At least you have a quality hose, trigger and nozzle that'll be useable with your next PW.
