Hello everyone.
I'll start by repeating THANKS to everyone who has helped me in the past.
I hope this the right forum (General) for posting this. I wondered if it fit in plumbing at all.
In my volunteer work with disaster relief we use a hot water pressure washer in our field kitchens. Where water exits the heater the assembly of sensor, soap pick up, main hose, and all the quick disconnects sticks out so long it creates downward leverage on itself. This causes excess wear & tear on the O-rings and spurting hot water. Part of my solution was to make a 90 elbow pointing down the first thing after the safety sensor.
The second part of my proposed solution is to insert (what I'll call) a ball & socket swivel. The best example I can think of is the ball & socket where a shower head attaches to the pipe.
I've searched a lot! I'm beginning to think such an animal doesn't exist. Has anyone ever heard of such a connector? Anyone have other ideas how we can provide strain relief?
Thanks for any help.
Eddie
