I bought some swivels for my gun's and surface cleaner. When the swivel is on my gun it leaks water without the trigger engaged. just a small stream of water. That is with and without a nozzel inserted. I have swaped out different guns and when ever the swivel is attached it leaks. No swivel, no leak. Any suggestion's.

Are you talking quick Connect?
If so you need to change the O-rings often more if using hot water

Make sure you are using high quality thread tape. Sometimes the cheaper stuff will leak and case issues. Also check the O ring seals inside the female quick connecter. If they seem worn or torn replace them. Keep in mind if you are using hot water find the brown O ring seals. They seem to last a little longer and are a little tougher in material strength. Most importantly, allways keep a small dental pick, two large adjustable wrenchs, tread tape and a big assortment metric and imperial O rings with you in the truck. Plus it doesn't hort to keep a few male and female quick connect with you in the truck. Better to be prepared when in the field rater than packing up to get a 99 cent O ring.

Those are what we use and love them. Everyone should have them on every gun/hose. Along with Ball-Valves.
