Hi, I have an old Armaco U802, which I suspect is not givning me accurate readings, especially in D.C. volts. I have compared it with my Micronta 22-201U, which seems to be more accurate. Is this a common problem with this voltmeter? Any thoughts on what I might do to fix it are...

By the way, the super glue did not hold. Well, it was worth a shot. ....... john

Thanks. I'll check that out. ..... john

Yes, I think so. That's what I'll do. ... john

Yes, odd you should mention those. I was looking at them earlier, before I attempted the gluing; but wasn't sure which one would work, i.e. would I have to use part of the existing setup, which would fit my hose, etc. .... john

Yes, I was wondering about the hose connection. It looks like a press fit. I'll go over to Princess Auto, if the super glue bond doesn't work. ....... john

It may be .... yes. ..... john

Hi, I don't know if we have Ace here (north of Toronto) but I'm sure i can find them, if I hunt around. ..... john

Yes, I may have to do that, if the super glue bond doesn't hold up. ..... john

Hi, I have discovered the source of the leak. There's a hairline crack right next to the mold line on the black tube that connects to the white nylon flow restrictor (my term). If you look at my previous image you'll see the piece. I'm including a picture of the crack. I dried it by...

Yes, and that's the problem getting the right size O rings. I was thinking about Gooping it together, but I believe that this part has to slide, so that the water can be turned off and on with the trigger; but hey using the power button on the pressure unit, could be an option, since we rarely...

Indeed. I've been giving that serious consideration. I imagine that there are generic wands to be had, other than hunting down the specific wand for this unit? ..... john

Oh yes, I have taken it apart. The O rings 'look' ok, but they're hard to find, so maybe I have to try sealing it in some way, just to see if chasing down O rings is worth the trouble. Goop might work? ....... john

It seems to work allright. The stream however seems to shoot off to the side somewhat, like you would get if you touched it's edge. But when I remove the piece that goes from the wand (see image) to the hose, I get a nice long staight stream. P.S. My wand leaks inside, at the piece which moves...

Well, the maximum OD would be the tail ... 16mm. The opposite end with the O ring it 12mm, including the O ring. The shaft, which is and X shape (looking down on it) is 5mm across And the centre 4 protusions are 10mm tip to tip The whole thing is only 33mm long.
