The invention provides a telescoping wand assembly for use in dispensing liquid from a container, including a trigger module extending along a longitudinal axis between proximal and distal ends. The trigger module includes a tubular handle member (102), a user accessible trigger (110) positioned externally of the tubular handle member (102) that is selectively movable between first and second positions, a hose (116) positioned within the tubular handle member (102) and adapted to transport liquid from the container, and a valve actuating member that is selectively, movably actuable by movement of the trigger (110) between its first and second positions. A stationary frame assembly provides rigidity and contact points for a telescopically movable tube assembly that extends from the trigger module. A shut-off valve (160) and nozzle (184) are positioned at the distal end of the wand assembly and movement of the shut-off valve (160) is controlled by the trigger (110) and translated by way of the tube assembly.
