Hi,

I've searched the forum regarding mating a MTM foam lance with a Karcher pressure washer. I THINK I might have found the answer with 1young1's solution posted in the following thread:
http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/auto-detailing-tools-accessories/51930-mtm-hydrofoamer-my-karcher-k5-740-a-2.html

I just want to make sure... cause the different threads I've read, all the different MTM foam lance came with different connecting adapters from mine. I've attached a photo of what I have. Can anyone with experience with this foam lance confirm for me if what I need are indeed the:
1 PW-KARCHHD - Karcher HD/HDS Pressure Washer Fitting
1 PW-KXSERIES - Karcher X Series Pressure Washer Fitting

Thanks.

AG sells the karcher specific adapter. It will screw on to the fitting with the threads.

Actually, AG sells two: I have both and, while I have an X type Karcher, they both work on that unit (and mate to the MTM).

I have never had a 320 so I don't know which would be needed but I would guess it is the non-X type. There are pretty good pictures of the adapters on the web site and you can compare them with what you have to connect to on your pressure washer...

If it's a Karcher K Series, it's the same series I have and I can likely help. If it's and X series, there is an adapter for that as well. So, you need to figure out of it's a K, X, or and HD type with a screw in fitting on the lance.

I have a Karcher K series and 3 weeks ago or so I bought a MTM Hydro low pressure model that came with the Karcher adapter already installed for $50 shipped. Do a google search and you'll find it. It also came with the quick connect fitting and the threaded fitting.

Works like a champ.

for my electric karcher (k-series) these are both needed. one end of the double ended brass male nipple connector screws in the foam cannon and the other side to the karcher pressure washer fitting and then push and twist it into the wand...

Brass Male Nipple Connector (http://www.autogeek.net/male-nipple-connector.html)

Karcher K-Series Pressure Washer Fitting (http://www.autogeek.net/karcher-k-series-fitting.html)

the connectors you have pictured would work on the conventional gas pressure washers where you screw the thread end (silver one) into the foam cannon and then pull back on the end of the wand if it has a quick disconnect and attach it...
