I have an outside "spray port" on my new 272bh which I can't for the life of me get the coil hose it came with to actually click into the quick fitting.
The outer ring looks to react the lock just fine, but I can't get the hose to get in and lock (almost as if it were too long of a shaft on the hose)
I hope someone comes up with a proper answer for you, I'm still trying to work that out on my 2020 291RK

Figured it out. Took a screwdriver and tapped the port with a hammer in the center of the brass valve. This unstuck it and allowed it to return to proper depth
OH...easy enough. I've been told to try turning off all pressurized water...city water / water pump and then it will work.
I haven't gotten out there to try it yet.

Yeah, my water system was totally drained and depressurized as I was sanitizing my freshwater system. It was just the valve being stuck... Really stuck

2020 268rl,,same thing,must be some bad valves,I will try the screwdriver hammer trick,,Thanks
These fittings see infrequent use and are not well lubricated, so they stick. I've used a copious amount of plumbers water fawcet lube on the male part when dewinterizing and winterizing each season to lube the joining part. It's not like we're drinking from this sprayer. Seems to work.
