1/2" NPT connection
Rated to 4,000 PSI
Tungsten carbide wear components
One nozzle body serves multiple trucks
Hydro excavation crews that want one nozzle platform tuned to different trucks and conditions. Swap the flow pill instead of buying a different nozzle when flow requirements change, and keep a precise 0-degree stream for controlled digging.
Precision potholing and daylighting around buried utilities
Controlled excavation near fiber optic and gas infrastructure
General hydro vac digging across varied soil conditions
Standardizing one nozzle platform across a mixed fleet
Interchangeable flow pills let you match the nozzle to each truck's pump output instead of stocking a different nozzle for every unit. The static 0-degree stream gives the operator a predictable, controllable cutting jet, and tungsten carbide wear components hold the orifice spec far longer than standard steel.
Crews stocking a separate nozzle for every truck and flow rate, or running worn steel nozzles whose orifices have opened up and lost cutting performance.
For bulk soil removal where a wider cutting path is faster, the rotating Ripsaw covers more area per pass. The Switchblade is the precision tool in the lineup.
