Okay, I can feel your eagerness to know more in detail. So, let’s hop on and directly jump into the main content.
Ryobi Pressure Washer Hose Fitting Size
Basically, almost every model of Ryobi pressure washer machine shares the same hose fitting inlet and outlet system. That’s why you can say the hose for the Ryobi pressure washer is universal within all the models.
However, you will usually find 2 types of Ryobi hoses commonly used in almost every pressure washer model. Those two are distinctive according to their length and the maximum capacity of PSI ( Pound Per Square Inch).
- PRESSURE WASHER HOSE ( Model: #RY31HPH01)
- Ryobi / Homelite High-Pressure Hose ( Model: 308835065)
Size and Fitting Details
Length
The length of the PRESSURE WASHER HOSE ( Model: #RY31HPH01) is 35 feet.
On the other hand, the hose length of the Ryobi / Homelite High-Pressure Hose ( Model: 308835065) is 25 feet.
Maximum PSI Capacity
The maximum PSI capacity of the PRESSURE WASHER HOSE ( Model: #RY31HPH01) is 3300 PSI to near about 3400 PSI.
On the other hand, if we talk about the maximum PSI capacity of the Ryobi / Homelite High-Pressure Hose ( Model: 308835065), it is near about 2300 PSI.
Inside Diameter
The diameter of both PRESSURE WASHER HOSE ( Model: #RY31HPH01) and Ryobi / Homelite High-Pressure Hose ( Model: 308835065) are ¼ inches, which is 6.35 millimeters.
Fitting Standard
The fittings of both hoses have the same fitting standard.
In the case of the Couper X QC plug ( Coupler by Plug), the fitting standard is an M22 plug adapter.
In the same fashion, in the case of the Plug X QC coupler ( Plug by coupler), the fitting standard is also an M22 coupler adapter.
Please Note: QC stands for quick connect.
M22 is basically a fitting standard of both couplers and plugs (attaching parts of both sides of the hose).
M22 Fitting: Actually, the M22 coupler or plug fitting standard means the outer diameter where the hose’s outer part will be connected is 22mm, and the inner diameter where the inner part of the hose will be connected is 14mm.
In the M22 fitting standard, no Teflon or lock-tight is required. This fitting has an O-ring system, by which you can connect and tighten the hose to the machine and the jet with your hands only.
In the O-ring connection system, first, you have to push back the hard-plastic-made O-ring and hold it. Then, align the coupler or plugs with the other coupler or plug. After that, release the O-ring. When it covers the external coupler’s or plug’s edge side, start twisting the O-rings. Booom!! It is connected.
It is such easy to connect. That is why the connection is called QC ( quick connect) fitting.

If you talk about the garden hose, it shouldn’t be any longer than 100 feet. But in average cases, there is a maximum length of 60 feet that the high-pressure hose should be. Beyond these ranges, the pressure washer may still function, but its performance may suffer. However, if your washing job requires high-pressure water flow, then your hose shouldn’t extend the 30 feet range.
Yes, the length of the hose has a huge impact on water pressure. Pressure loss of water accelerates with the increasing length of the hose. For greater PSI of water or power wash, keeping a hose length below 30 feet is recommended.
