NLB’s new NCG-286A high-pressure waterjet lances increase operator comfort while making hose or fitting failures even less likely. The new models, which replace the NCG-286 Series, reduce stress on the inlet hose connection and feature a redesigned, padded shoulder stock that helps center the thrust of the high-pressure water. 

The new lances have an inlet tube with a 90-degree bend, supported by a bracket, that eliminates the bend radius in the hose behind the inlet connection. Hose friction is also eliminated, since the hose no longer has to pass through a loop on the shoulder stock. The bracket also strengthens the overall assembly. 

The NCG-286A Series includes lances rated for operating pressures up to 10,000, 15,000, 24,000 and 40,000 psi. Brackets and couplings are available to convert older-style NCG-286 lances to the new design. 

For additional operator protection, NLB offers a WJTA-recommended safety shroud that surrounds the high-pressure hose and fitting between the inlet connection and the whip hose. This shroud is rated at up to 40,000 psi.
