Does anybody know where I can purchase a 4jetted wand manifold for a 12in sapphire titanium wand? My current manifold started leaking really bad at a job site and had to use my cmp 14 in wand with no glide as my back up.

Did a fitting or a weld fail?
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.

So the Y where the water line attaches at the base leaks

That leads to the two round base parts with jets?

Or the base parts that have the jets in them?

No jets don’t leak.

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.

Did you take it apart?
All those brass bits are replaceable
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.

I hope so...don’t feeling like buying a new wand since this one was kinda pricey.

theres nothing major wrong with it although I'll trade you a cutting edge evo..

sounds like its taken a knock and the ferrule isn't seating properly, I'd wriggle it back and forth bit to get it to line up and seat

The worst case scenario for repair is a new wishbone setup with new brass nuts and compression fittings.

Nothing wrong with the jet manifolds at all from what you are telling and showin is.

But getting them off especially if tightened multiple times at different angle is tough.

A wishbone assembly shouldn’t be more than 40 or so dollars I would think.

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.

And don’t be a punk tighten it good!

Ive has this happen over the years a few times!

Joking about being a punk but like Bob said two wrenched crank it up.

Back off the nut. Line up the ferrule the best you can.
Before tightening the nut (with 2 wrenches) spray the threads with a little lubricant.
This will allow you to get it a little tighter.
