I recently purchased a greenworks gpw 2000 electric pressure washer. Thing is I don't know which fitment to order from autogeek with my foam cannon to make it all fit. Would appreciate the help guys

Psi:2000
Gpm:1.2
 
Yea that's the one, so your saying all the cannons on autogeek are sold with the silver piece, is it one if the ones you have to pick during the buying process or do I have to go to lowes and buy it? Thank you btw
 
I don't know if the ones from AG come with that connector.

Let's think about this a bit more, though. There is a foam cannon made specifically for lower psi electric pressure washers. The ones I see here at AG, while I'm sure very good, are rated for higher PSI. Yes, they will work, but in my experience, the ones specific to the lower psi units work better for their intended use.

Read this thread:

So with that in mind, lets move forward to the connecting parts. AG gives you the options of adapters in order to connect your foam cannon to the spray gun IN PLACE of the wand. Your pressure washer, based on the pic from Lowes, shows the spray gun with a metal wand attached to it. You would take off the metal wand, attach an adapter, and then attach your foam cannon. If I had to guess, I'd say the Kranzle is the correct adapter. Again, I'm not certain.

See here:

How To Select a Fitting for the Foam Cannon HP

Another option is to leave your metal wand attached to your gun and use the 1/4" NPT adapter that screws into the foam cannon. It has a quick-connect male end which would connect to the female quick-connect coupler at the end of your wand... the same way a spray tip connects. I didn't want to go this route because it made the entire thing cumbersome. A spray gun, a long wand, and then a foam cannon. The whole thing was too long. Still, I don't know if the AG cannons come with the 1/4" NPT connector. I don't see it anywhere. The one I bought DID come with it, but I didn't buy it here. I bought it before I knew about Autogeek. The quick-coupler set referenced below does come with a brass version of the silver 1/4" NPT male connector that you saw in another picture.

Sooooo, I did this: I bought a spray gun from Northern Tool. I also bought a short brass threaded pipe and a quick connect coupler. I attached the pipe to the gun and the coupler to the other end of the pipe. Now I have a short wand/gun that is easy to use and I can simply quick-connect a spray tip or the foam cannon.

See this thread, posts 2 and 4:

Here are a few pics of my setup:

I hope this helps! If you want, you could give Autogeek a call to find out if they offer one of the cannons in the lower PSI rating for your pressure washer. You could also ask if it comes with the 1/4" NPT male connector.

Good luck!

Excellent. Yep, that one also comes with the 1/4" NPT male connector. I think it also comes with the M22 fitting which may let you remove the wand and connect the cannon (the way they connect in the Autogeek Fittings link I gave you. It is also the one referenced in one of the other threads. You'll be able to quick-connect it to the coupler at the end of your wand.

How do you like the GW 2000 and the foam cannon? I am picking up the pressure washer today.

I'm looking at purchasing this same foam cannon. Does the supplied fittings with this foam cannon fit the greenworks pressure washers? I haven't bought a pressure washer yet and have been looking at greenworks. I was looking at the unit with 1700 psi and 1.4 gpm or do you think the one with 2000 psi and 1.2 gpm would be better?

Yes. The description, when you scroll down in the link, says that it also comes with the 1/4" male npt connector. That connector will screw into the foam cannon (use Teflon tape) and then you'll be able to quick-connect it to the end of your Greenworks wand. As mentioned in your other thread, the GW already ha the female quick-connect at the end.

I also have a Greenworks pressure washer and this exact foam cannon. Mine is the older 1.3 1500psi. It works well. I don't think you can go wrong with either one you're considering.
 
We'll I got good news and bad news, good news is the cannon works fine with the greenworks washer, comes with the correct connectors and everything and makes a ton of foam. Bad news I think my cannon came broken cause twisting the front doesn't adjust spray field, it's stuck on sniper mode

On no!! When you look down the "barrel" while twisting it, do you see the little flat thingies open and close?
 
nope they actually twist with the barrel, can you take a shot of the flanges when they are in the "widespread" pattern? maybe I can manually move them to get it to that setting

I can, but I'm not sure if the little thingies are together or spread apart when I do a fan spray. Since it is raining here for the next few days, I won't have a chance to figure it out.

If you are currently getting a stream, I'd say put them in the opposite position of whatever they are now. They simply open and close like a puppet mouth. Perhaps once you start manually moving it (while twisting the barrel), they'll start working again.

Otherwise, return it and get another.

Let us know what happens! If you still need a video or pics in a few days, I'll get it done for you.
