Ryobi RWP-170G to quick connect

[dylank0199]

Hello

I recently purchased Ryobi RWP-170G pressure washer and also bought Chemical Guys BIG MOUTH MAX RELEASE FOAM CANNON but it has 1/4" Quick connect but my pressure washer doesn't have this quick connect feature. What do i need to get? fittings etc..

Hello @dylank0199

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's wonderful to have you join us, and thank you for sharing your question about the Ryobi RPW170-G pressure washer.

I've just been in contact with the Ryobi technical department and they've informed me that they can't recommend using the big mouth foam cannon with the RPW170-G pressure washer. Although it may work for the short term, it might have an unpredictable effect on the motor and burn it out. The RPW170-G has its own soap spraying tank at the back of the unit which has been designed to work with the spray unit. 

However, if you're wondering what kind of part would work on the hose unit of the RPW170-G I suggest an M22 male fitting with a 1/4 quick release female fitting on the other end. I recommend doing a google search for it, as it is a specialized part. 

Let me tag our experienced members @TedBear and @ProjectPete for their recommendations.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

It is interesting that Ryobi have their own foam sprayer, although it doesn't mention being  suitable for the RPW170-G. Maybe it is too powerful for this attachment to handle?

Hi @TedBear

That's an excellent suggestion, I was going to make the same recommendation as well. Unfortunately, it's only compatible with the RPW140-G, RPW140SC and RPW150-G. I'm afraid the RPW170-G is not in the list.
