The wide end of the connector in the first photo attaches directly to a pressure washer. The water supply hose should attach to the narrow end and the direction of water flow is indicated by the red colour arrow. The wide end screws onto the pressure washer without issue, however I'm wondering what attachment is required to attach the narrow end to a garden hose. There is a small collection of various attachments which have been tried (photo 2) though can't seem to find anything to fit. What attachment should be obtained in order to attach a garden hose?

Watch you don't use a one way valve with the water going the wrong way as that will cut supply.
You can bust the one way valve in a fitting if required. I've done that many times as they are a pain plus limited use.
The brass fittings will fit on.

Thanks Wayners. I tried that, but the brass opening isn't quite wide enough.
This is a screenshot from Youtube about the same washer connecting the clear plastic attachment to the hose. I dont' think it's a double end female connector shown there as I also tried one of those. What would that section be called if I'm looking for one in a shop?

The arrow I have drawn on the image below is the direction of the arrow which is stamped on this part. You may have to click on image to see this. Does this indicate flow of water, or not?

Remove the big black washer that I have circled in red. Then the brass connector should go on.
Even with the black washer away, the brass fitting isn't wide enough unfortunately.
Store person told me this might work:

I do not understand the point of the black washer given that there is an o-ring. I suspect the washer is supposed to go inside the clear fitting (where it meets the metal thread on the pressure washer).
The linked connector is unsuitable as it has a non return valve .Don’t understand why you are struggling just a straightforward push fit .
The large black washer is for a seal at the machine end .
You just need a standard connector .

The Stop on that valve indicates it has a one way valve so not suitable .
It looks to me like you just need a hose-to-female hoselock fitting. So the bare end of your hose fits into one end of the connector, leaving a female end which you then clip onto your pictured fitting for the washer. That's assuming that the end of your pressure washer fitting is standard male hoselock. Be careful with some of those brass fittings because they have a stop valve i.e. are designed to be disconnected whilst still under water pressure but will not leak until they are connected to something. but the release clip inside often sticks, even when you've connected it to something. So it makes you think there's a blockage somewhere when in fact it's just that bit inside the fitting not letting water out when it should.
