A pressure washer apparatus (10) and method comprising a telescoping tube section (12) which contains a hose (42). There is a forward outlet section (44) having an outlet housing (128) with a quick disconnect (144) to the forward end of the hose (42) in the telescoping tube section (12). A control section (26) is located at the rear end (14) of the telescoping tube section (12) and makes a second quick disconnect connection to the hose (42). Releasable connectors (56) are provided for the tube sections to lock the tube sections in place, and these comprise tapered threaded gripping fingers (92) which combine with a locking nut (60) with the threads (88, 108) of the two of the gripping fingers (92), and the locking nut (60) having a taper end and thread configuration enabling the connection to be accomplished by only a very short rotation of the compression nut (60).
