Karcher foam adapter leaking
Pictured as so. It’s leaking everywhere, already had my lance to bits but no joy.
![]() I’ve searched on eBay but can’t seem to find one with the thread (1/4” I think) to fit it to the brass body of the lance. Can anyone link me up? Thanks Matty |

It is leaking from the gun and the connection, not the brass fitting. So it spurts out of the bayonet fitting in the gun. It’s got PTFE on the threads, I re did it when I had it to bits. Apparently there is an internal seal between the plastic bayonet and the thread that inserts into the brass body that is knackered but I can’t separate it ![]() |

I had a similar problem wit hthe connector leaking at the lance, and replacing the Karcher's o-ring fixed the leak for me.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The o-ring sits under the plastic retainer (yellow 'plugs') When I bought then they were only ~£3, may be worth shopping around now. |
