The Rotor is the last nozzle in the pipe before the camera goes in. It's a free-spinning, water-driven finishing nozzle that sweeps the full 360° of the wall, lifting the last film of grease, tender roots and light scale so the inspection shows clean pipe instead of streaks. If your work gets televised — post-cleaning CCTV, lateral launch inspections, warranty documentation — this is the tool that makes the footage look like the invoice says it should.
How it works
Water pressure alone spins the insert-carrying barrel — no lubrication required, nothing to service. As the barrel rotates, the jets scribe overlapping spirals along the wall: full circumferential coverage a fixed-jet nozzle can't match. The barrel is also reversible for forward flushing — the only finishing nozzle in the industry that does this — so debris can be pushed ahead when the job needs it.
At 1/2" the Rotor comes in 45° and 90° jet configurations: 45° biases toward thrust and travel, 90° puts everything into the wall for maximum scrub where the hose is doing the pulling.
When to use it
- Final pass before camera inspection — streak-free walls
- Removing the last grease film after a cleaning or penetrating pass
- Tender (young) root growth and light scale
- Grease-route maintenance where 360° coverage beats raw thrust
What it is not: a cleaning nozzle. KEG is explicit — the Rotor is a finishing tool, run it last. Heavy debris, sludge transport and blockages belong to the Cleaning Nozzle and the penetrating family first. Hardened scale wants the Duce.

A 1-1/4" model (6"–20" pipe) is available on request — sales@jetterprosupply.com. The Rotor is a Tier Two nozzle; 1/2" and up run replaceable inserts (ceramic -C or steel -S), so wear is an insert swap, not a spinning assembly replacement.
