Fix a Sticky Valve on a Garden Sprayer - This Week in the Garden

This week in the garden Peter Richards shows how to fix a sticky sprayer wand valve. After several years of use garden pump sprayer valves don’t quickly shut off when released. Peter shows how to lubricate the valve with petroleum jelly so it functions like new.

That was so helpful. Thanks. No one seems to show the most little annoying problems. You did great.

Thanks for watching. Glad we could provide good info.

There are 2 o-rings on the white shaft which you applied petroleum jelly. It might be better to use a non-petroleum based lubricant to minimize damage to these seals.

Thank you so much for making your video. It was an ENORMOUS help to fix my sticking valve as product just kept running out when I released the trigger.

This has been an ongoing problem with one of my sprayers. I tried other lubricants but not petroleum jelly. Thanks for the tip!
