please share your theory as to why an auto-stop hose
connector blows off more easily than a standard one.

With a standard connector, the sudden back pressure when turning off can
be absorbed by the full length of the hose pipe.

As it can with an waterstop.


With a waterstop connector the back-pressure is all between the valve
inside the pressure washer and the hose connector, probably on rigid
pipework, so is exerted directly onto the connector ...

Wrong. A waterstop valve only occluded the pipe when it is physically
disconnected.

As long as it is connected, there is continuity.
