Before I can recommend Reaper vs. Warthog vs. RootRanger -- what is your pressure-washer's GPM rating? 3200psi is good velocity but it doesn't tell us what GPM-flow you have to work with. Think of the GPM as the size of the axe in your jetter's hands; a 5-pound axe (5gpm) will hit the root-mass much harder than a 3-lb (3-GPM) axe -- and the PSI represents how fast it can swing that axe ("velocity"). Another point: the actual water-streams from the nozzle are "wider" at 5+GPM so they penetrate deeper at the same PSI, plus they "carry" further in larger pipes than "skinnier" low-GPM water-streams do. This is why Root-Cutting/descaling nozzles like the WARTHOG, REAPER, ROOT-RANGER, etc. all perform poorly with less than 5-GPM, and much better with 8-GPM (or more) like the major "rooter" types use

Yes that is a removable "extension" to the actual muffler which is mounted inboard on the engine; we install that extension so that the exhaust will blow out the van-door if the operator wants to leave the jetter in the van while jetting. Indeed, many operators that hard-mount their jetter in a van will remove the "exhaust-extension" and then run exhaust-piping from the muffler down thru the floor of the van to the outside

Yes indeed we do offer orange-colored leader-hoses (typically 10') to warn you that the nozzle is near -- it's an optional item for the Brute Jetters (it is included with our Eagle Trailer-Jetter models). However, a lot of operators don't like to use them in sewers/drains with elbows because when the 2 hose-end fittings are screwed together it makes for a 2x long fitting that can stall in an elbow, thus we don't include a leader-hose on all models. We can do black-color any length you want (1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 3/4", 1" sizes), or the "Safety-Orange" color is available in 10', 15, 20', or 100' (3/8" or 1/2"): shop.jettersnorthwest.com/collections/jetter-hose/products/leader-hose?variant=127821086723

Hi - I don't see a relevant channel for you - please email weblink to the channel for your company.

Our customers do it commonly with that KnuckleHead nozzle and the right jetting-hose, just like I did here. The job for this setup is to clear the smaller branch-lines (lav, floor-drain, etc.) into the typical 4" main. Then if the main needs clearing you'd go back to your full-sized jetting-hose and nozzles. Hope that helps!

it'd be tight: Tank is 54-inches tall (4-1/2 feet) and Ford website says max 56.9" height in the cargo bay: www.ford.com/commercial-trucks/transit-cargo-van/models/transit-van/

That was an early version of our DRAIN INVADER-X model! Here's a demo/info link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJy2Yp6XoZeYhKcsi=r1U2cQJP6dv0sP90 .. and Shopping link: shop.jettersnorthwest.com/collections/electric-jetters

Typically yes when using our drophead nozzle. We also now have drop head nozzles for larger jetters up to 10gpm which also have forward-blasting jets for attacking/pushing soft clogs. However if you need to cut roots then you'll need a root-cutting head like our REAPER which will require you to pull the toilet of course

(1) Any jetter that puts out more GPM than the building can provide will need a water-tank to work as a "buffer" between the flow-rate in GPM that the building can provide, compared to the flow-rate in GPM that the jetter wants to consume at full throttle. Jetters cannot suck out extra water from the building to feed their GPM-rate; the building - or the water-tank - needs to be able to provide the jetter the GPM-amount that it wants to drink. (2) yes the PSI should compliment the GPM. Essentially, the PSI relates to the SPEED of the water-jets from the jetter's nozzle, while the GPM of course is the mass or volume of the water-jets. A simple metaphor that explains the relationship is: the GPM is the size of the hammer in the jetter's hands, and the PSI is how fast it can swing the hammer. The GPM/PSI specs should be chosen based on the pipe-diameters you will het the most. 14gpm at 2200psi is about 25-horsepower and would be great for 6-inch service-lines, but if you will primarily jet 4-inch (the most common here) then at that horsepower I'd rather have a bit more PSI at a little less GPM, such as 10gpm/3000psi. What pipe-sizes do you plan to TYPICALLY jet?

@@JETTERSnorthwest Thanks for the info. Am jetting 3-4" but mostly 3" kitchen floor drains with grease.

For primarily 3", plus some 4", I would DEFINITELY recommend going with less GPM and more PSI because 14gpm/2200psi requires 1/2" jetting-hose to be effective, but you'll be needing to use smaller-diameter hoses like 1/4", 5/16", 3/8" to jet through the small 3" lines, and tough entries/corners in 4". Using those smaller hoses will SIGNIFICANTLY reduce the nozzle-pressure of a 14/2200 jetter , but a 4000psi jetter with 8+GPM would maximize the effectiveness of those smaller hoses, and still provide enough GPM for jetting occasional 6" pipes

@@JETTERSnorthwest Makes good sense, thanks for your advice & time to respond, much appreciated.

Yes we do - it is an option to every one of our jetter models. Here is a link for you: shop.jettersnorthwest.com/collections/hose-reels/products/hand-carry-reel-1-4-x-200-jetter-hose?variant=3879368753192

@@JETTERSnorthwest cool thank you. How does the reel connect to the jetter itself? Does it come with that whip/hose as well?

the reel's inlet has the male-end of a pressure-washer type of quick-coupler. we can also provide the female-coupler with an adapter to pipe-thread if you want to connect it the end of a jetting-hose (specify the hose-thread size), or if it's for a Drain Invader we offer a whip-hose that will connect the reel directly to the jetter's outlet - just let us know your preference, or if you need multiple connectors for various hose-sizes and/or jetter-types ;)

We only offer our in-house JNW brand online for the 1/2"ID size. Again, we stay with the premium design for 1/2" because of 2 factors: [1] its non-sticky jacketing is more pliable and [2] we use an Aramid-fiber braid underneath the cover to hold pressure up to 5500psi vs. cheaper multi-layer polyester hoses which makes a hose fatter/stiffer (and only 4000psi) -- in fact sometimes customers question that ours 1/2" cuz it has a skinnier outside-diameter than most 1/2 hoses. shop.jettersnorthwest.com/collections/jetter-hose

I get it if you're wrestling with 1/2" vs. 3/8" for a 12gpm jetter; I recommend considering first what pipe-sizes you'll need the hose to go thru the most. Recently a customer bought our 12gpm/3000psi Brute-3012 jetter with 1/2" hose and he called in to say how much he was struggling... turns out that 70%+ of what he jets is 3" and the rest is 4", so he HAD to at least step down to 3/8" hose to get thru cleanouts and turns in the 3" pipe. He would have been much better served by our Brute-4009 that's 9gpm/4000psi with 3/8" hose as standard that can maintain 3500psi at the nozzle - and it's 4000psi can push more GPM out of 3/16", 1/4" and 5/16" mini-hoses for jetting smaller indoor drains. But, he bought the 12gpm with 1/2" as he simply thought "more power" and wanted the ability to jet 6" & 8" ... however he doesn't have that kind of work yet, and 12gpm is overkill for the 3" pipe he jets the most

Also this PSI-drop comparison video for 12gpm thru 1/2" vs 3/8" hoses may help you ;): kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3mXp42hjpZ7sKs

Here is a link to the most popular size: shop.jettersnorthwest.com/collections/jetter-hose/products/3-16-stainless-steel-trap-hose?variant=38744869827 BUT to recommend a particular hose we really need to know: [a] what are your jetter's GPM and PSI performance-specifications? [b] what pipe size(s) are you needing to clean? [c] do you need the hose & nozzle to pass through P-traps?? (NOTE: you'll need a nozzle as well as the hose)

Thanks for sharing your experience!! Nozzle Extension use is almost ZERO in the "service jetting" industry among rooter-type jetting operators with 1/2" or 3/8" hoses. People need to be made aware of the potential danger of a jetting-nozzle turning around and flying back out of the pipe when they jet 8-inch and larger lines -- AND -- how using a simple & cheap Nozzle-Extension is excellent practice to help protect operators and bystanders from that danger!!

For the Eagle-200 trailers, 3/8" hose would be on the 10gpm/4000psi model "4010-DWR", which drops to about 3200psi at the nozzle when flowing the full 10gpm at full throttle thru its 400-feet of 3/8" hose

@JETTERSnorthwest what if you go with half inch hose what would be the pressure at the nozzle thanks

1/2" hose would be on the 12gpm/3000psi model "3012-DWR", which drops to about 2700psi at the nozzle when flowing the full 10gpm at full throttle thru its 400-feet of 1/2" hose (we don't put 1/2" on the 10gpm/4000psi "4010-DWR" model because 10gpm does not pull 1/2" hose very well)

Yes indeed - but we prefer 1/2" since there is a lot of pressure-drop thru 3/8" at 12gpm -- it's just shy of 300psi for every 100-feet of hose (IF the jetter is actually putting out 12gpm under pressure). Btw - that's 3X the psi-loss vs. 1/2" at 12gpm

@JETTERSnorthwest do you sell half inch 150 feet section

Sorry we missed this! Yes but it's not online - call 2062835252 for Jetting hose #A104057 which is 1/2" x 150' 5500-PSI. This is the same premium hose w/Aramid-fiber braid under the cover at $649.00 for the short 150' length

Hi does the jetter turn on at all? If it does not run at all it may be the Ground-Fault interrupter within the power-cord. But if it does run, connect water and run it WITHOUT a nozzle for a while (hold the hose tightly so it doesn't get away from you!!) because a common issue with small electric-powered jetters is if any of the orifice-holes in the nozzle plugs then the motor kicks off to protect itself, or it stops-and-starts thinking that you have closed the ball-valve for a moment. If it runs fine without nozzle then check/clear all the orifices in all of the jetter's nozzles. Let us know !

@@JETTERSnorthwest still working my garage outlet was too week , machine still working fine overall , thx

Compared to many cheaper 1/2" types yessir @brian2100 because of 2 factors: [1] its non-sticky jacketing is more pliable and [2] we use an aramid-fiber underneath to hold pressure up to 5500psi vs. cheaper multi-layer polyester 4000psi which makes a hose fatter/stiffer -- in fact sometimes customers question that it's 1/2" cuz it has a skinnier outside-diameter than most 1/2 hoses ;)

Approximately 12-feet Long X 6-ft Wide X 5-ft Tall

@@JETTERSnorthwest is that the bed length or the total width with tires thanks

400-feet of 3/8" hose -or- 300-feet of 1/2" hose. If you need 400' of 1/2" we can do a wider reel

In the USA, 120-volt electric-powered indoor jetters max out at about 2300psi, but for best results they are typically run around 1500psi-1800psi to allow for more GPM flow out the cleaning-nozzle ;)

@@JETTERSnorthwest. For best result what is recommended gpm and psi?

1.5gpm-2gpm at around 1800psi is solid if you're talking results from a small 120-volt electric-powered jetter, and you can add a good rotating grease/sludge nozzle to deal with bonded buildup. But if you can connect the mini/trap jetting hose to a larger gasoline or propane engine-powered jetter then you can jump up to around 5gpm and 3000+psi for far better cleaning-power - especially if dealing with tough grease

The hose reel control-box is "dripproof" and we also use it on our trailer-mounted Eagle Jetters which are out in the elements, of course ;)

Yep getting close Dave! Excited for you sir :)

For cutting out roots? And what is your jetter's GPM/PSI specs? The #6 is maximum 6-GPM if you have a 4000psi machine, or it yields about 5-GPM at 3000psi... that'd be relatively weak GPM-impact - do you have a higher-GPM jetter??

@@JETTERSnorthwest I don't have a jetter just a Honda pressure washer 4gpm 4000 psi. Yes it's for roots in the pipe.

OK with a 4-GPM machine the REAPER #6 will "only" build about 2000-2500 PSI which will still do some light cutting. We can improve that PSI to ~3000 by customizing it from standard 4 rear thrust-jets down to 3 rear thrust-jets, but that'll reduce the Reaper's ability to pull itself and the hose into the pipe so I'd only recommend that if the pipe-distance is under 75'. Bottom line: it'll be slow-going bit it will do root-cutting for you, but it might miss roots at top of the pipe due to the low 4-GPM input. Hope that helps -- let us know!

@@JETTERSnorthwest thnx. Gonna get it done by roater rooter since I don't have the right jetter.

Urinals are fickle as you know - it depends on the design. If the urinal/drain has a smooth/bending flow-path then the nozzle+hose can typically be worked thru the pipe's curves, but if the urinal has a blocky flow-path then the nozzle likely will hit a "road-block" and you'll have to pull it

It depends on the hardness of the blockage: Yes for the common "soft" clogs these small electric-powered Drain Invader jetters can blast thru blockages that a small snake can -- plus the jetter scours & flushes the pipe. For very "hardened" blockages the snake might be faster at unclogging, and then many pros finish with the Drain Invader to scour and flush the pipe :)

Hmm it looks like the 2160 does only 2.9gpm which is pretty light for de-scaling lime -- we like to see the GPM at least match the 4" pipe-diameter for scouring the pipe, or double that GPM for professional "rooter class" cleaning. But to answer your question I would use a rotating "controlled-speed" Grease-Hog type with no forward jet -- no guarantees since I don't know how hardened the lime scale is, but if it not too dense this will work well: shop.jettersnorthwest.com/collections/1-4-jetter-nozzles/products/1-4-grease-hog-nozzle?variant=47666522685747

Thanks for the feedback, but FYI all of the o-rings in our water-system are petroleum-resistant "Buna-N" (aka Nitrile) or "Viton" material (not "natural" rubber) so vaseline-types condition them nicely ;)

Oh yes - other common problems are grease, scale, sludge, dirt/rocks from a broken pipe, animals, and a big problem today is a buildup of "flushable" wipes. Or a combination of any of those.

@@JETTERSnorthwest in your experience, can unclogging a drain using such jetting solutions you list in the video, damage piping in any way due to the water jetting power? Great video.. thanks.
