Applications
High pressure water jetting has many typical applications but also many more unique or diverse uses.
Commonly used for pipe cleaning applications such as sewers and drains, high pressure jetting is also
used for surface cleaning, water blasting and waterjet cutting. US Jetting has a broad range of high
pressure jetting units, nozzles, guns and accessories to handle any type of situation. Not only does
US Jetting have the hardware for problem resolution, training and technical expertise is also availble.
Root Problems
High pressure jetting is the most commom method used to remove root infiltration growth within sewer lines that
routinely cause blockages. High pressure water at 4,000 PSI with the proper nozzle cuts roots close to the pipe
wall surface, then flushes the residue downstream.
Sanitary Sewer Systems
Routine preventative maintenance of municipal sanitary lines removes debris befor a blockage can occur.

Grease Problems
High Pressure Water Cuts & Liquifies Grease with Super Spin II Rotating Nozzle
At 4,00.0 PSI, high pressrue jetting emulsifies grease into foam and small particles.
Grease is allowed to flow downstream without causing blockages or reforming on pipe walls.
Water at 4,000 PSI emulsifies hard grease, allwoing grease residue to flow downstream. At 4,000 PSI, grease
is removed in small particles, not large chunks taht can cause unwanted downstream blockages.
Grease not only accumulates in main sanitary sewer lines, it can also be found in building pipelines and connecting
laterals. Buildings with grease traps require the lines entering the grease traps to be routinely cleaned
to prevent blockages. Grease traps are never 100% effective in grease collection, therefore outflow lines
from grease traps should be cleaned periodically. Cleaning grease lines in commercial kitchens (restuarants,
hospitals, cafeterias) require small diameter high pressure jetting hoses that are better able to negioate 2 to 6"
diameter pipelines commonly found with multiple elbows or traps. Many companies perform high pressure jetting
services under preventative maintenance contracts to eliminate possible blockages among businesses that produce
grease by-products.

Storm Drain Cleaning
Commercial buildings with parking lots normally contain storm drains for rainwater control. In most cases, roof
drains and gutters also connect to strom drain systems for the prevention of flooding. Piping used for storm
drains can vary from 4 to 24 inches in diameter. The US Jetting 4018 has the performance to complete the cleaning task.
Large diameter pipe cleaning with a US Jetting 4018 - 4000 PSI @ 18 GPM
Is it possible to clean large diameter pipes with a high pressure low volume jetting unit? The answer is yes if
you have the right nozzle for the job. The example below is a road culvert filled with dirt and rocks. This was
60 ft long - 24 inch pipe that was cleaned using the US Jetting Dragon Jet. This nozzle is specially designed
to fire all the jets at the bottom of the pipe. Two straight jets to remove the heavy material and two fan jets
sweep the pipe invert combine to do an excellent job.

Large culverts under Interstate 95 completely blocked with accumulated silt and stones. Cleaning was completed using a
US Jetting 4018 (4000 psi 18 gpm ) and dragon jet. Results after completion and excess material removed with back hoe.

Process pipes with hard lime scale
Many manufacturing methods result in the accumulation of by-products on process pipe wall surfaces.
High pressure water jetting cannot only remove blocakages but also accumulated material buildup. In many
cases, production can be increased by merely cleaning existing process pipe systems.
Water Mains
Before & after pictures of descaling an 8-inch water main, a US Jetting controlled rotation SuperSpin nozzle was used.
Hard mineral scale buildup can occur in potable water mains, both in the delivery systems and water treatment plants.
High pressure jetting is the best method to remove scale and restore pipes to full flow capacity.
Out-Of-The-Way Service Calls
Demand for high pressure jetting services doesn't stop at the water's edge. US Jetting units can be found cleaning
pipes on oil and gas rigs and ships at sea.
