Many operators run into problems jetting small-diameter pipe, so PipeHunter has developed a series of smaller nozzles to work in tight spots: the Red Dawg Low-Pro Line.

“Customers liked our approach on our other nozzles so much, they asked us to meet this need for 3/4-inch systems. We ended up expanding the options for 1/2-inch and 1-inch jetting systems,” says Stan Stoneman, marketing director for Red Dawg Nozzles from PipeHunter.

“The Low-Pro is the smallest of the Red Dawg family. It also features our newest M6 insert design,” Stoneman says. “This was a key addition to our nozzle kit lineup to make sure we cover more needs.”

The Red Dawg Low-Pro Nozzles, made of hardened carbon steel, feature three forward angled jets and six 30-degree rear-facing jets. They are targeted at cleaning pipe walls, with minimal features to prevent hang-ups and easily enter lateral clean-outs.

All jets are replaceable, constructed from 17-4 stainless tool steel with a tapered inner transition that improves stream quality, compared to the more standard process of drilling out set screws.

“This nozzle really meets a specific need. We have many operators that only have a 3/4-inch system at their disposal; this made tackling clean-out issues tough,” Stoneman says.

“These nozzles won’t hang up when put in a tight spot. Most drilled nozzles have a large step on the rear port that can tend to hang. We radiused this as much as we could with the Low-Pro.”

The company takes pride in all-American design, testing and manufacturing at its Pearland, Texas, headquarters.

“Designed by sewer cleaning experts, we use carbon steel for our nozzle bodies, not stainless steel. We are the only nozzle manufacturer that plates our nozzles with the Black Oxide QPQ Salt Nitrile treatment process, ensuring that nozzle bodies are treated inside and out,” Stoneman says.

“Red Dawg Nozzles is an American-made series of nozzles designed, tested and proved by our staff,” Stoneman says. “We have been manufacturing our own jetting and vacuum equipment for more than 30 years now. We feel this experience leads up to a different line of thinking than just a nozzle manufacturer. We can consider the whole scope of an operator’s job because we understand the equipment side as well.” 800/373-1318; www.pipehunter.com
