What are these for? Hose washers?

My foam gun came with 2 of these washers inside the connector. What are they for and do I need them?

Is that the hand sprayer you are holding upside down? If so, yes you need a washer to connect to your water hose.

Yes it's the sprayer and I used it without and it worked fine?

I use Teflon tape anyway on the tip and with no washer it was fine so I will just put them aside

Wait, you use Teflon tape on the male end of your garden hose?

[uhohitsstevo]

no on the end that goes into that. i use it on my hose, the part that screws into this

[uhohitsstevo]

so yes the male end

[uhohitsstevo]

I'm assuming these are for if the hose does not screw all the way into the nozzle, almost to fill the extra spot that is not able to get screwed in because the male end is not long enough (if that was the case)
