Sorry, but as of last year, so I found out, they no longer exist except for the Scantech which I bought from EEurope parts and it was a piece of crap, (not properly put together so it would leak immediately by the looks of it) so I sent it back and cost me fifty bucks for shipping etc. I tried to find a NA contact for Scantech to complain but ran into a brick wall and my e-mails to their head ofc went nowhere. If anyone has a contact for them I sure would like it. What leaks is the tiny O ring at the base inside where the pin goes through to open and close the valve. I rebuilt a couple and after a year the last rebuild still works fine. It is a very tricky job and not always works, but I also found that the O ring gets hard and if you put a bit of oil (not WD 40 as it will eventually eat rubber) 3 in 1 or similar or a rubber renew juice it will soften it up and seal the leak. If you want to know how I replaced the O ring send me an e-mail and I will try to explain the process. good luck.
