It leaked(sprayed water wetting my shoes) from the Y tube going into the manifold...not leaking at the jets.Leaking where?
Fitting failed. When triggered water escapes out of fitting hitting your feet when the wand is rinsing. And when I say water escaping...a sharp stream comes out of the fitting.Did a fitting or a weld fail?
No jets don’t leak.So the Y where the water line attaches at the base leaks
That leads to the two round base parts with jets? Yes, it sprays a direct stream of water out of the base of the fitting. Only on one side the other manifold works fine.
Or the base parts that have the jets in them?
Yes. First thing I did and it still continued to spray water out.im presuming you tried tightening the nut..
No crack visible on the fitting. Inspected closely, as I thought maybe had a hairline fracture.Or do you see a crack in the brass nut????
Took it apart, but didn’t notice anything cracked, twisted, or just plain obvious with it...assembled it back together, but water hose was slightly misaligned had to force it back to its original position slightly.Did you take it apart?
All those brass bits are replaceable
I hope so...don’t feeling like buying a new wand since this one was kinda pricey.the line may have been bumped/bent and cracked at top of ferrule (the little brass/copper ring under the nut)
you don't need a new manifold
worst case scenario, you need a new fitting that's 1/4" taller to put a new ferrule on the line
..L.T.A.
Bob brings a good point, I would loosen the fitting all the way off, ensure the pipe with ferrule is all the way touching or sitting the best possible then retighten using 2 wrenches ensuring you are seating the ferrule the best you can.
Ya we sold all our metal to China a few years back......Dont lean on the cheap garbage brass any more than you need to..
