Enz USA UC Line
The Enz USA UC Line with CrossJet technology offers a complete line of high-pressure solutions for the toughest industrial cleaning projects. They feature strong cross jets for unplugging and radial jets for polishing. The cross jet causes a reaction force which, in many cases, makes it necessary to mount the nozzle on a lance. Optional thrust jets can be used with an automation system. This CrossJet technology offers cleaning performance with lower leakage and long durability. This line of nozzles has a special surface treatment for longer life and has become a tool for universal use. They are available up to 43,000 psi, in 9, 13, 18, 22 and 28 mm sizes. 877-369-8721; www.enz.com
Hydra-Flex Revolution
The Revolution sewer jetting nozzle from Hydra-Flex offers a triple-threat attack in 6- to 36-inch pipes. Its tip creates a 0-degree, straight-water stream that rotates at a 30-degree cone of coverage to powerfully break through roots, grease and tough blockages. The 10-degree back jets offer a smooth ride for the nozzle to glide with ease through the pipe as the front bursts out water at a pressure range of 1,000 to 2,500 psi. The last attack is the 360-degree rotating subhead, which works to completely clean and descale pipe walls. The subhead speed remains consistent and controlled throughout the duration of its life to always output maximum power. A stainless steel housing and tungsten carbide wear surfaces make it extremely durable and capable of withstanding harsh environments. 952-808-3640; www.hydraflexinc.com
NozzTeq SWEAGLE

The result is close to a doubling of the volume of water cleaning the pipe. It is compatible with all jetting trucks on the market and can be used with clean or recycled water. It works efficiently in both water-filled and dry pipes. 866-350-0624; www.nozztequsa.com

This is a powerful nozzle that can break up an obstruction and create a path for large flushing nozzles if needed. It is available for 3/4-, 1-, and 1 1/4-inch hoses and can clean pipelines from 6 up to 24 inches. It is fitted with replaceable carbide inserts for long service life. Internal laminar flow improvement provides for greater impact and effectiveness of each individual jet. 800-633-7696; www.shamrocktools.com
USB-USA Gator and Mini Gator
High-performance Gator and Mini Gator nozzles from USB-USA cut and remove roots, grease, blockages and scale in various pipes ranging from 2 to 20 inches. Encased in a compact stainless steel body, the reinforced internal design rotates the head. 3D fluid mechanics in the head smoothly direct all the incoming high-pressure water to the four rotating jets in the rear of the head and one in front. These rotating jets create a powerful 360-degree all-around complete cleaning of the pipe, flushing and removing debris in fewer passes. The offset front jet eliminates blockages easily and effectively. The Gator is capable of being used on hose between 3/4 and 1 1/4 inches, while the Mini Gator nozzle can be used on 3/8- to 1/2-inch hose.
