Ok I have talked myself into buying the Earlex 5000 but ....

[Hudson Carpentry]

Where can I buy the different nozzles from? I have been googling for a while and can't find one.

 

[Mcluma]

That is a good point

Although I do not need a different tip, I was hoping they were readily available

Have a look here at the accessories page.

Hope it helps

Sorry guys that was a US web site.

I need some new jets also and have just looked on the Earlex UK web site and tried all of the named suppliers on it to no avail. Email sent to earlex to see what they have to say.

I just asked Earlex about my nearest supplier given that all of the so called suppliers on their web site knew nothing about the HV5000.

Earlex have agreed thast I can post the reoply from them so here it is.

Hi Alan

I am afraid the spares for the HV5000 are not available on our online stores yet, they can be purchased by ringing Earlex Ltd on 01483 454666. We are sorry that it has been so difficult to source these spares, and I have forwarded your email on to our product development team.

The needle kits for the aluminium gun are £18.78. Prices quoted are inclusive of V.A.T.

Postage and packing costs for the UK are £1.99 per order or free for orders over £30.00.

You may order over the phone with a credit/debit card (not Visa Electron, Amex or Laser) on 01483 454 666, or send us a cheque/postal order (sterling and made payable to Earlex Ltd). Cheques are held for a week before dispatch.

Delivery is sent by Royal Mail and takes approximately 2-3 working days

Kind Regards
Helen Frostick

So a fast and polite response. I have also had a discussion with one of their product managers about the issue so they seem to care about access and supply. I have just ordered a selection of jets so will report on their response times.

I trust you got this sorted out. You purchase the needles directly from Earlex in the UK

Sorry I gave up trying to post due to the issues I was having with accessing the forum.

I ordered the 1mm nozzle, 2.5mm nozzle and the spanner (which is £6.99 if anyone would like to know) and they came the very next day after I ordered them.

Used the machine the first time yesterday and im very impressed.
