New Vacall AutoValveSystem Option for AllJetVac Models

The Vacall AutoValveSystem option available on AllJetVac models is designed to improve operator efficiency and simplify switching water functions with the press of a button. The AVS all electrical system option allows operators to switch from jetting to washdown or optional tank flush from the AllSmartFlow control panel. No need to open or close manual water valves. This innovation also includes a new electric switch bank for raising or lowering the debris tank and tailgate and turning on or off the tank vibrator or sludge pump to be mounted anywhere on the truck. The Auto Valve System is compatible with front and rear AJV hose reel configurations and works with the belly pack remote control for operation of all functions. 800-382-8302; www.vacall.com/allsmartflow

The subhead is designed to maintain consistent speed throughout the nozzle’s life, and a stainless steel centralizer is included to ensure the nozzle stays centered within the pipe. 952-808-3640; www.hydraflexinc.com
