I lost the tip that screws onto the end of the plug in and the 15 amp fuse. Can I get a replacement tip and 15 amp fuse for it. This is for model 40051.

Dennis Rich - Reply Share

I somehow lost the tip of the plug-in, the part the screws on/off to keep the 15 Amp fuse inside.

Can I get a replacement piece or do I have to buy a new one?

Can someone please answer this??? I didn’t lose mine but the tip melted and now I can’t use my pump at all and I can’t find replacements for it anywhere:((
