Post by: Stephen burton on August 12, 2017, 02:13:54 pm

Hi guys
My spring has broken on my k valve on twin jet wand, I need it to be fixed for Tuesday tried most places this afternoon over the phone but they are all closed any suggestions, can I source a spring that will do the job from elsewhere my nearest supplier to my knowledge is alltec which is nearly 2 hours away I'm based in Ipswich suffolk and can't think what else to do apart from order first thing Monday and hope it turns up Tuesday morning

Do you have a hand or stair tool you can borrow one from until the replacement arrives?

It may possibly work. If the valves are the same it will. Take it apart and check the spring size. If it is a little shorter you may be able to shim it with some washers..... possibly.
