    Wow Danny nice findings! That's exactly the PW I have. Should I go buy the homedepot set and make sure the adaptors are right and then buy the one online?

    The internal parts is all plastic except the fitting. My failed after 3 uses with a 3000psi washer. The plastic welding cracked inside. So I don't think it is rated at 4000psi.

    I am referring to the Home Depot foam cannon that has the standard quick connect 1/4" male fits directly into the lance. The quick connect is the only part that is metal. everything else is plastic. I am using the mtm hydro now.

    To really give you that shaving cream action, you have to put more soap in the bottle and have a decent pressure washer (you WILL see a difference between 1700psi and 2600psi). Mix with the warm water too.

    Remember, more soap = more time spent rinsing down the car.

    Oh yea. I forgot about that part. I have to bent that piece of metal to give an even spray pattern. I must have bad luck with my.

    Hi guys, I have a question. The Home Depot foam blaster has a 1/4" quick connect, and I connect it at the end of the extention tip (point a in the diagram). However, the other foam cannon (camspray, mtm hydrao extra) seems to be connecting to the trigger part (point b). Does the connection point change foaming ability?

    Also, does mtm hydro or camspray cannons come with 1/4" quick connect? I am just really tired of finding the right fittings for my pressure washer.

    Thanks!

    a--[1/4" quick connect] ----------------b[ trigger ] ----- pressure washer
