Cutting nozzles are designed to remove blockages such as roots, grease and mineral deposits, ensuring the smooth operation of sewer and water systems. By rotating and generating powerful streams, cutting nozzles can thoroughly clean and descale the internal walls of pipes, ensuring optimal flow and reducing the need for extensive manual labor. They are typically made from durable materials to withstand harsh environments and maintain effectiveness over time, making them a vital component in the upkeep of municipal sewer and water systems. Check out some product options below.
Arthur Products Cnt-r-KUT ELITE max
The Cnt-r-KUT ELITE max kit from Arthur Products is a complete rotating nozzle pipe cleaning system. Manufactured from high-grade stainless steel and an aerospace elastomer, it is designed to clean pipe using a rotating head, which can be equipped with linked chain, roller chain, cable or just water jets. Three flexible lightweight centering guides of 3-, 4- and 6-inch diameters can be quickly changed in the field to stabilize and center the rotating head, yielding 360-degree internal cleaning. An optional deicing/degreasing head further enhances its capabilities.

Enz USA 10.125TR Turbine
With operating flows as low as 13 gpm at 2,000 psi, the Enz USA 10.125TR Turbine nozzle is a powerful cleaning tool. The turbine design allows for lower flow and less water usage while still maintaining high torque for effective pipe cleaning in lines ranging from 5 to 12 inches. Because of its sealed bearings, this nozzle can be operated with both clean and recycled water while being relatively maintenance-free. This compact, efficient nozzle is a powerful root remover and conquers grease, solids, mineral deposits, concrete and grout. Its complete kit offers a selection of pre-cut chains, skids and two head styles to competently clean pipes efficiently. 877-369-8721; www.enz.com
Hydra-Flex Revolution
The Revolution sewer jetting nozzle from Hydra-Flex offers a triple-threat attack in 6- to 36-inch pipes. Its tip creates a 0-degree, straight-water stream that rotates at a 30-degree cone of coverage to powerfully break through roots, grease and tough blockages. The 10-degree back jets offer a smooth ride for the nozzle to glide with ease through the pipe as the front bursts out water at a pressure range of 1,000 to 2,500 psi. The last attack is the 360-degree rotating sub-head, which works to completely clean and descale pipe walls. The sub-head speed remains consistent and controlled throughout the duration of its life to always output maximum power. A stainless steel housing and tungsten carbide wear surfaces make it extremely durable and capable of withstanding harsh environments.
