Hydrocell HYD I006 Inlet Connector Leak Free Washer Spare

Hydrocell HYD I006 Inlet Connector for Tradie Washers

The Hydrocell inlet connector HYD I006 is the genuine fitting that joins the water tank to the base unit on Hydrocell Tradie and Gazza 17 litre washers. It keeps the washer sealed, helps the pump prime properly, and lets you rinse split system coils without wasting time chasing leaks.

If you are dealing with a slow drip at the tank base, a loose joint, or a washer that will not prime, this inlet connector is often the simple fix. Swap it over, tighten it correctly, and get back to rinsing coils instead of mopping up water on a client balcony.

It suits busy Australian HVAC techs, cleaners, and maintenance crews who rely on Hydrocell units for split system and condenser washdowns and want reliable gear that stays ready for work.

Features and Benefits

Accuracy and Safety

• Genuine Hydrocell part matched to the original inlet so the seal lines up correctly and the tank seats as intended.
• Helps maintain correct water flow to the pump so you are not guessing why pressure drops mid job.
• Supports safer balcony and indoor work by reducing water creep around the tank base and over walk areas.
• Designed to work with the washer as a system so you can focus on safe coil cleaning rather than troubleshooting leaks.
• Clear results, consistent performance, no second guessing on busy service days.

Durability and Worksite Readiness

• Built for rough handling in utes, service vans, and plant rooms where washers are moved and loaded daily.
• Resists knocks, vibration, and frequent tank changes that can fatigue weaker fittings.
• Suited to real Australian conditions from humid Brisbane balconies to cool and damp Melbourne mornings.
• Helps your Hydrocell washer stay in service longer so you get better value from the full kit.

Ease of Use and Efficiency

• Two-piece design that a switched-on tradie can replace with basic hand tools and common sense.
• Fast changeover so you can fix a leak between jobs rather than sending the washer away for repair.
• Supports quick priming of the pump which keeps coil rinses smooth and predictable.
• Lightweight spare that is easy to keep in the van alongside coil cleaner and wash bags.
• Low cost spare that can save a call back when a worn connector finally fails mid shift.

Real World Use on Australian Jobs

Picture a high balcony job in Sydney. Coils are dirty, time is tight, and the client wants the system back on before school pickup. You fill the washer, switch it on, and notice a small pool forming under the tank. Pressure feels weak and now you are losing time trying to work out why.

A fresh HYD I006 inlet connector keeps that drama in check. It seals the tank to the base so the pump can pull water properly and gives you a steady spray pattern for coil rinses. When your cleaning gear works as expected you can line it up with your deep vacuum setup and keep the whole service smooth from washdown to micron checks.

Compatibility and System Information

This Hydrocell inlet connector is designed as a direct replacement for selected Hydrocell portable washers.

• Compatible with Hydrocell Tradie Washer 17 litre and Gazza Washer 17 litre units that list HYD I006 in the parts diagram.
• Connects the removable water tank to the washer base and provides the inlet seal for the pump feed.
• Intended for use with clean water only as outlined in your Hydrocell manual.

If your unit is an older model or has been modified over the years, it is worth checking the label and comparing the existing connector to the product images before ordering. A quick photo on site and a check back at the workshop can prevent incorrect parts turning up in the mail.

For full Hydrocell washer kits, you can see how this inlet part supports complete cleaning bundles such as the Hydrocell Tradie aircon cleaning setups at HVAC Trade Supply and matching Hydrocell accessories in the Hydrocell collection.

What Is Included

• One Hydrocell HYD I006 inlet connector assembly supplied in the two piece configuration used on compatible washers.

Pro Tip for Busy Techs

When you replace the inlet connector, take an extra moment to inspect the tank O ring and the sealing surface on the base. Grit, scale, or nicks around this area can create slow leaks that look like a fitting fault. A clean wipe, a quick visual check, and a fresh connector often restore the washer to full service with very little downtime.

Many techs line this work up with a quick review of their AC cleaning and evacuation gear. A reliable washer, solid hose sets, and a good evacuation kit with vacuum pump and micron gauge make it easier to deliver a complete service with less risk of call backs.

Recommended Add-Ons

To build a stronger AC cleaning and evacuation setup, many tradies pair this inlet connector with:
