Can the plastic garden hose adapter be replaced by a brass one. If so, which adapter would work?

Yes and you will probably want to. I was not that hard on mine and it didn't last two days of use pressure washing my siding.You want either of these, both available on Amazon : Anderson Metals Brass Garden Hose Fitting, Swivel, 3/4" Female Hose ID x 3/4" Female Pipeor Gilmour 7FPS7FH Double Female Swivel Brass Connector, 3/4-Inch by 3/4-Inch

I replaced the plasic adapter with a brass quick connect kit ( Powerwasher 80006 Universal Pressure Washer Garden Hose Quick Connect Kit) which I purchased from Amazon. The quick connect is very easy to use and does not leak. I'm sure there are other brass afapters available, but I wanted the quick connect feature.

I use a Melnor brass quick connector set. Once installed, all I do is snap the garden hose on and off and don't touch the plastic garden hose adapter. This solution has worked great for me. Here's a link to the Melnor product on Amazon: Melnor 2-Piece Metal Starter Set

It could be replaced by a brass fitting if you can find a brass fitting that has the size and thread of the connection to the pressure washer. The hose side connection would be no problem, but the washer side could make it difficult.

Make sure that whatever adapter you get is: Female 3/4" Pipe Thread to Female 3/4" Hose Thread. The water connection on the Sun Joe is a 3/4" Male Pipe Thread. Note: MOST of the recommended adapters listed in the comments, in the answers to questions, and the "recommended" adapter are the wrong type (mostly Female Hose Thread to Female Hose Thread)!

From the FAQ on the Sun Joe website where this question is asked: "Yes, we offer a heavy duty dual swivel 3/4-inch by 3/4-inch double female brass connector upgrade (model SPX-BSC), available on our website here."

Really? I had these Gardena for years and unfortunately left them at my last house. Bought brass two years ago at HDepot, and they were crap. I'm here to buy more of the good stuff because they've lasted before. Hose types? Water pressure? I guess I'll see.

Will work on any garden hose. However, I threw these Gilmour items away after less than year because of poor quality.

My adapters were brass. The nylon was to be used as a gasket if you needed a gasket.

I would buy Australian regulators. The hoses have a threaded connector, that is pretty common. I'm sure a welding or plumbing supplier will be able to make an adapter fitting.

Yes, there is a supplied cheap plastic quick connect that attaches to the side of the unit to quick connect to a hose. I never used it - replaced it with a quick connect from Ace and a brass converter - it's a little longer than what comes with it but stronger. I'm sure what they provide would work but I noticed others noted how flimsy it was also... SO that's my backup now. Unit keeps working when I want it to...! I use my old Campbell Hausfeld extra long hose (two hoses connected together) - makes it a lot easier to use - haven't even tried the hose/gun tat comes with it... DT

I haved leak before and is hard to found . I discover the brass adapter real is two pieces and between the o ring is not in. It come in a one of the bag have inside so many. But i separate the adapter and only use the top. Top adapter have 3/8 male in the top ,the hose go to the bidet and 3/8 female.

Iput the one I ordered on my kitchen faucet. I have an adapter on my kitchen faucet permitting me to screw on a hose so I can water my plants on my patio. The different ways you can use this adapter and the different threads make it fit virtually any faucet. I unscrew this adapter when I get ready to screw on the hose then screw it right back on when I'm finished watering.

The unit comes with a white plastic hose connector (fitting) that inserts into back of unit with instructions that read: You can use a 12mm hose to attach to the connector. I use the manual drain (bucket) process so I can't comment on how well the continuous drain process works but I would mention again that the connector is made of plastic so I would be very careful connecting a garden hose fitting (brass?) to the threaded plastic connector. FYI, overall I've been very satisfied with this unit and wouldn't hesitate to purchase another if needed.

I am making an assumption that you want to hook a garden hose directly to the slide rather than using the corrugated hose (installation manual, pg. 9 1st photo). You should be able to remove and replace the adapter where the hose normally attaches to the slide. The adapter can be replaced at a hardware store like Lowes, Home Depot, etc. (maybe even a Pool store if they sell the PVC parts) with a PVC fitting that screws into the slide where the adapter came out. The one thing to keep in mind is that the threads for the PVC replacement fitting will match the adapter, but garden hose threads are different. So ask your store personnel for a PVC threaded adapter that matches the corrugated hose piece you removed AND a garden hose adapter that can be attached to the replacement PVC adapter. Hope this makes sense.

Without any adapters it will only work with a Gardena hose but it did come with one. I bought an extra connector to also attach my standard garden hose.

You can easily remove the hose thread adapter from the faucet and replace it with an aerator. The aerator must have 55/64-Inch Female Threads and a Polished Chrome finish to match the faucet. American Standard M922880-0020A, available from Amazon, should be suitable. I am not aware of an aerator with female hose threads that could directly mount on the existing faucet as-is. Conversion is easy and should require no tools. That said, an allen wrench may be needed to remove the hose adapter from the faucet the first time. It is practical to regularly switch between the aerator and hose adapter, if needed. Be careful to properly align the threads and only hand-tighten either adapter; do not use a wrench that could mar the finish or strip the threads if the alignment is not accurate.

Not sure you"ll find a brass replacement for this fitting. It's looks pretty custom. And, on mine, the plastic tip of the hose which connects into the fitting is looking more worn than the fitting itself. Mine's still working fine, but I think it's a losing battle to try to make this unit more than it is -- a cheap shower hose extension -- lucky to get a year+ out of...

The valve has hose threads are molded right onto the end of the spout. It's not a removable piece You'd have to get an adapter to go from hose threads to the threads the sprayer uses. You should be able to find one at a hardware store.

It is a standard garden hose bib faucet. It is plastic. I'm not sure of your meaning of size as it has an approximate internal size of a little under 5/8', but will accommodate any standard garden hose. The same company offers a 3/4 brass bulkhead spigot for about $13.00

I have no idea but since it is made from Brass i would think it would be ok. No lead in Brass. I would assume any garden hose connection would be for potable water.

I have a plastic can with a smaller spout than the opening of the replacement head. I attached a 1" bit of garden hose to the head and then joined that to the can with a piece of tubing that slips inside both the hose and the can spout. This works fine for me.
