Liquid drips from the wand when you are not spraying

A wand that drips after you release the trigger usually has a worn shut-off valve or valve seat. Clean the seat and replace the rubber disc.

Updated June 3, 2026

Applies to:

Sprayers with a trigger shut-off valve built by The Fountainhead Group.

What causes this:

  • A worn shut-off valve
  • A degraded or dirty valve seat
  • Debris caught in the valve

How to fix it:

  1. Relieve tank pressure, then disassemble the shut-off valve.
  2. Inspect the rubber valve and seat for wear or debris.
  3. Clean the valve seat and replace the rubber disc.
  4. Reassemble and test. If it still drips, install a shut-off valve kit.

Replacement shut-off valve kits are available at the FGI parts store. Find the part you need.
