Title: leaky wand
Post by: matt jones on September 21, 2006, 09:48:06 pm

I was wondering if someone could give me some advice recently noticed that my my wand has a slight leak in it. The leak is coming from where the male connector screws inn i have tightened this up but with no improvement the wand is only 1-2 months old any suggestions would be appreciated.
regards
matt

check for any cracks, these can go if overtightened or dropped?

PTFE tape from plumbers merchants. If there arent any cracks as mentioned above then wrap this around the threads and re-assemble-should stop it.  ;D
