If it constantly sprays then the valve is knackered, even though it is a new one it is still knackered.

A spring pushes a plunger against a Teflon washer to create a seal, somewhere along this process something has gone wrong, unless your investigative knowledge can work out what is wrong then buy a brand new one from a supplier ( not scavenge one off another wand)
