Sewer Cleaning Hose

What is a hydro jetter hose

Hydro jets machine use powerful pressurized water to clean sewers, culverts and other pipes. In order to handle this high pressure, jets require special high-pressure hoses specifically designed to withstand this industrial use.

What is Jetter Hose?

A hydro jetting hose is a specially designed hose that delivers water at high pressure to clean drains, culverts and pipes. A high-quality sewer jetting hose needs to be durable and resistant to kinking and breaking. No jetting hose will last forever, but using the right safety tools, such as a Tiger Tail Bracket and Guide Hose, will dramatically increase the life and safety of your hose.

Types of Jetter Hose

Jetter Hose all come in different lengths and diameters. These sizes include 1-inch, 3/4-inch, 3/8-inch, 5/8-inch, and more.

Care and Maintenance for jetter hoses

The most important thing to remember when using jetter hoses is that the life and durability of the hose is almost entirely dependent on the care taken when using the hose. Safety tools such as tiger tails, manhole cover rollers or manhole cover protectors must be used. The most dangerous risk of a hose is rubbing against the sharp edges of a pipe or access hole while spraying. Over time, this rubbing can cause small abrasions in the hose that can lead to dangerous hose bursts. The typical life of a well-maintained jetting hose is approximately one year, but can be shortened or lengthened depending on customer precautions.

Accessories for Jetter Hoses

Mounted Mini Reel Kit: The mini jetter hose reel easily mounts to a toolbox or rear rail, allowing your jetter to clean smaller residential pipes.
TIGER TAIL BRACKET: Pass your high pressure hose through this protective tube to prevent expensive high pressure hoses from rubbing against the sharp edges of your pipes.
Lead Hose: This short hose should be attached to the end of the jetting hose and must be a different color to alert the operator when the nozzle is approaching the pipe inlet. It can also be used as a cheaper, easily replaceable sacrificial hose.

What is a high-pressure jetting hose?

Jet hose comes in many forms depending on the application. Generally, it is a special heavy-duty hose designed to withstand the high pressure of water used to jet sewers. To maximize service life, the hose needs to be strong, durable and resistant to kinking.

How do I connect a nozzle to a jetting hose?

To attach the nozzle to the high-pressure water hose, install the nozzle directly onto the male end of the hose and tighten with a wrench. Be sure to tighten so the nozzle does not come off the end of the hose during spraying. There is no need to use Teflon tape or similar tape to seal the nozzle to the hose as the nozzles are often interchanged so the tape would be wasted.

What is the ½” Jetter Hose PSI rating?

All high pressure hoses have a working pressure rating and a burst pressure rating. For example, a U.S. ½” red hose has a working pressure of 4,000 PSI and a burst pressure of 16,000 PSI. This means that the hose is designed to operate at 4,000 PSI but should be able to withstand a burst pressure of up to 16,000 PSI if the hose is in good condition. The working pressure should match the maximum PSI at which you operate the machine. Hoses naturally wear out over time, but this is usually exacerbated by the lack of proper safety fittings, such as tiger tails. This wear can lead to perforation, so the hose should be inspected regularly for any scratches or abrasions.

What is the price range of the hose?

The price range of high pressure jetting hoses varies by size, length and pressure
