trying to find pinchplates
 

I tried to find some pinch plates. I don't know if that is what they are called.
Basically, I have 3000 psi power washer (Lowes's Troy Bilt). The pressure washer hose has a leak. I was thinking of trying to find a pinch plate for the right size to put on it.
Basically, there are two pieces of metal bent to fit a 5/8 hose. One secures them by putting nuts into the plates to hold them down.
Is that what they are called, so that I should search for them on EBay?

maybe
pipe repair clamps?
I don't see any so small, e.g. 5/8

Â* This ain't something to play with . Replace the damn hose ! 3k psi
water can do some real damage instantaneously to human flesh .

Plus 1 tc. I have a new one never yet started. Waiting for the crappy weather to give a break.

The warnings printed give thought.

OP, TC is right.

Get a couple high pressure (fuelinjection) hose clamps and a piece of
inner tube. Wrap the inner tuber around the hose at the leak and then
put a hose clamp over the inner tube RIGHT OVER THE LEAK. Not just a
hose clamp (worm clamp) but a FUEL INJECTION hose clamp which clamps
all the way around.

+1. My "patch" would only be for a REALLY SMALL leak

Much better to do THIS

What about a hydraulic hose repair kit? I don't know if they're
rated to
3000 psi. The ones I remember were for maybe 2000. That was
from long ago, though.

Are you in a rural area? Take your hose to a farm equipment dealer.
They might be able to splice the hose. We had a kit at my farm related
workplace long ago. Cost? No idea. Our local NAPA store might
even be able to do it.

I fished a fairly new looking pressure cleaner hose out of the trash
that had a break near one end and that repair kit did a great job of
putting it back to work.
