greenhorn wand, attention greenie

After cleaning the head, check valves and installing new jets, is there a required distance you used from the tip of the jet to the bottom of the glide.

Or did you just tighten and make sure all the jets were level?

Also, can the screw that goes through the (lips) bottom be removed? With the glide in place, it seems the screw is just a hair catcher and the glide would prevent the lips from collapsing.

It'll probably be about an inch, but you have some room to play here with 110 degree wide angle spray jets, just keep in mind the jet needs a couple layers of teflon on the threads, and not to crank the HARD stainless jets into the SOFT checkvalves, literally finger tight plus a full turn is more than plenty.

This is true, the screw catches hair, but without it the wand lips lose support, so keep it.
You might want to cut a small triangle into the glide to make accessing the screw head easier, it's quickly backed out and the hair is sucked away, and reinstalled in a min. or so.
Just don't remove it long term, the glide will leak like a sieve along the length.

I keep the metal support for hanging file folders next to th wand in the vans

the hanging hook is thin enough to easily grab all the debri trapped on the screw
