trying to find pinchplates

May 05, 2019 12 Replies

I tried to find some pinch plates. I don't know if that is what they are called. Basically, I have 3000 psi power washer (Lowes's Troy Bilt). The pressure washer hose has a leak. I was thinking of trying to find a pinch plate for the right size to put on it. Basically, there are two pieces of metal bent to fit a 5/8 hose. One secures them by putting nuts into the plates to hold them down. Is that what they are called, so that I should search for them on EBay?


pipe repair clamps? I don't see any so small, e.g. 5/8

Plus 1 tc. I have a new one never yet started. Waiting for the crappy weather to give a break.

The warnings printed give thought.

OP, TC is right.

+1. My "patch" would only be for a REALLY SMALL leak

Much better to do THIS

where do I get the pinch tool!

Are you in a rural area? Take your hose to a farm equipment dealer. They might be able to splice the hose. We had a kit at my farm related workplace long ago. Cost? No idea. Our local NAPA store might even be able to do it.

did you watch the you-tube I referenced? No special tools required

I fished a fairly new looking pressure cleaner hose out of the trash that had a break near one end and that repair kit did a great job of putting it back to work.
