Versatile sewer cleaning nozzle with adjustable jet angle for switching between penetration mode and cleaning mode without changing nozzles in the field.
Adjustable jet angle, penetrate and clean
No nozzle change needed in the field
Versatile for multiple pipe conditions
Standard hose connections
Ceramic inserts for durability
Reduces downtime from nozzle swaps
Crews that waste time swapping between penetrating and cleaning nozzles throughout the day. The Switchblade adjusts jet angle on the fly, switch from blockage penetration to wall cleaning without pulling the hose, changing the nozzle, and redeploying.
Lines with mixed conditions requiring both penetration and cleaning
Routes with varying pipe conditions across multiple manholes
Emergency calls where you don't know conditions until you're in the pipe
General-purpose cleaning where flexibility matters
Adjustable jet angle eliminates the most common nozzle swap in sewer cleaning. Your operator encounters a partial blockage, switches to penetration mode, punches through, then switches back to cleaning mode, all without pulling the hose out. Every nozzle swap avoided is 10-15 minutes saved, and on a route with mixed conditions, that adds up fast.
Operators carrying two nozzles and swapping back and forth throughout the day based on pipe conditions, or crews using one nozzle as a compromise when neither penetration nor cleaning mode is ideal.
If your routes have consistent conditions, either all maintenance cleaning or all blockage work, a dedicated nozzle for that task will outperform a versatile nozzle. The Switchblade shines when conditions vary.
