How to Choose the Right Sewer Jetting Nozzle for Every Job

Start with nozzle size and your jetter GPM.

For 1/4-inch and 3/8-inch nozzle orders, GPM is the required setup input. For 1/2-inch and larger orders, provide GPM and working PSI. Choose the job you need the nozzle to do.

Find your nozzle · Compare plumber kits

Choose a nozzle for the work in the pipe and the water your machine can supply. A useful truck setup separates opening a blockage, cleaning the pipe and finishing before inspection.

Start with your equipment

Choose the correct nozzle connection and enter your jetter GPM; 1/2-inch and larger nozzles also require working PSI. Hose inside diameter and length, pipe size, material and condition help JPS review suitability when needed. A matching connection alone does not establish compatibility. Use the Nozzle Finder or ask JPS to check the complete setup.

Opening: Rambo

The 1/4-inch KEG Rambo uses factory-drilled jets and a drill point. Use it for grease buildup and blockages. Choose a verified root-capable tool for root work. It has no replaceable rear jet inserts. Check pipe condition and plan the cleaning pass after a pathway is established.

Cleaning: Sewer Flush or Cleaning nozzle

For the 1/4-inch Starter Kit, JPS calls the Sewer Flush the cleaning nozzle. Confirm the supplied jet configuration. For 3/8-inch equipment, the Cleaning nozzle serves general and high-wall cleaning. These are different products; their connections and jet construction are not interchangeable.

Pulling and path opening: Traction

The 3/8-inch Traction with forward jet is designed for mud, sand and pulling. Pair it with Cleaning when the work requires both opening and wall cleaning. Compare the existing Cleaning + Traction Kit by material and GPM option.

Finishing is a separate decision

After bulk debris has been removed, assess whether a finishing pass is needed before camera inspection. The 3/8-inch Rotor is a finishing option; it does not replace the earlier opening and debris-removal work. Actual results depend on the deposit, pipe condition and equipment.

Build a useful kit

The 1/4-inch Starter contains Sewer Flush, Ball and Triple Edge Quattro. The 3/8-inch Essentials contains Sewer Flush, Rambo, Ball and Triple Edge Quattro. Compare their existing case options and choose the connection that matches your truck. Do not assume the two sizes fit the same hose end.

Measure the value on the job

Track crew time, passes, water used and the inspected result on comparable jobs. The right tool can help avoid repeated work with an unsuitable pattern; no fixed time or water saving is promised for every line. Compare the plumber kits or call (864) 804-6637 for a configuration check.
