Vactor Manufacturing HydroSurge

The Vactor HydroSurge high-performance cleaning nozzle for public utilities and professional contractors handles a variety of large pipe cleaning and maintenance applications. Featuring an adjustable nozzle plate and water jet inserts with adjustable angles, the HydroSurge nozzle provides traction and cleaning performance to handle the most stubborn blockages.

The cleaning mode of 15 to 20 degrees removes heavy deposits from the bottom of the pipe. The propulsion mode of 5 to 10 degrees provides forward motion while effectively moving sand, silt and other debris back to the pipe opening.

The HydroSurge nozzle can clear large sewer pipes and storm water pipes of everything from heavy debris and compact sand, to dense silt and compressed sludge. It’s powerful enough to work underwater. Constructed of stainless steel for corrosion resistance and long service life, the HydroSurge features roll over bars, ceramic inserts, a unique hydro-force power system and an adjustable precision flow manifold. The nozzle is available in configurations of 6, 8, 10 or 12 water jets. 800.627.3171, www.vactor.com
