Low Pressure Boom Leak

[Car Washer]

I have a slow leak where the foam brush hose connects to the low pressure boom hose. Not sure what the connection is called or where to find it.

Probably the swivel. They always leak on LP product from my experiences

Sorry...should have explained better. It is a new LP hose and swivel. It is leaking where the black boom hose meets the "elbow". Wondering what the "elbow" connection is and where to find it? I may just need to tighten it, but just in case was wondering what it was.

The first thing you need to do is to figure out what is leaking. Is it the street 90 or the hose barb or the hose. You also need a swivel on the hose coming off the boom.

Randy...Ill check it again, but I think it is right where the black boom hose meets the 90. Just bubbles a little there. Probably just needs tightening, but was curious what the 90 was just in case. I do have swivels at the brush end of the hose...never thought to put at the boom end. Do you recommend stainless or the ball bearing brass ones? Thanks!

I believe it is a 3/8" 90 degree brass street elbow.

It's a common Brass 3/8" Male Female 90 deg. Street L. You can buy them at just about any hardware store, KR, Lowes, Home Depot, Ace hardware and Ebay. While your at it you might as well replace the hose inside the boom.
