- Robust Construction: Crafted from durable Stainless Steel, this nozzle withstands tough sewer conditions.
- Triple Jet Action: Three rear-facing jets propel the nozzle through pipes while a piercing front jet clears blockages.
- Easy Feeding: The button nose design and rear jets make it simple to feed the nozzle from the pipe entrance.
- Versatile Use: Suitable for various residential applications, used by professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike.
- Size 5.5 Orifice: Ideal for 1/8" sewer lines, providing powerful water pressure for effective cleaning.
Setup and Installation
This section outlines the steps for properly connecting your MTM Jetter Nozzle to your pressure washer hose or jetting system.
- Inspect the Nozzle: Before installation, visually inspect the nozzle for any signs of damage or debris. Ensure the orifice is clear.
- Prepare Connection: Ensure your pressure washer hose or jetting system has a compatible 1/8" NPT female connection.
- Thread Connection: Carefully thread the MTM Jetter Nozzle onto the end of your pressure washer hose. The nozzle has a 1/8" F (Female) connection.
- Tighten Securely: Hand-tighten the connection, then use a wrench to gently tighten it further, ensuring a secure, leak-free seal. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the threads.
- Test Connection: Before full operation, briefly turn on the water supply to check for any leaks at the connection point.

Operating Instructions
Follow these guidelines for safe and effective operation of your MTM Jetter Nozzle.
- Safety First: Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including eye protection and gloves, when operating pressure washing equipment.
- Insert Nozzle: Carefully insert the nozzle into the drain or sewer line you intend to clean. Ensure the nozzle is fully inside the pipe before activating the pressure washer.
- Activate Pressure: Turn on your pressure washer. The three rear-facing jets will create thrust, propelling the nozzle forward through the pipe.
- Clear Blockages: The front-facing piercing jet is designed to break through stubborn blockages. Allow the nozzle to work its way through the obstruction.
- Maneuvering: Guide the hose as the nozzle progresses. The rear jets assist in pulling the nozzle through the pipe, making it easier to feed from your position.
- Withdrawal: Once the cleaning is complete, slowly and steadily withdraw the nozzle from the pipe while maintaining pressure to flush out loosened debris.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your MTM Jetter Nozzle.
- Rinse After Use: After each use, thoroughly rinse the nozzle with clean water to remove any debris, dirt, or chemical residues.
- Inspect Orifices: Periodically inspect the front and rear jet orifices for blockages or wear. Use a small wire or jet cleaning tool if necessary to clear any obstructions.
- Check for Damage: Regularly check the nozzle body for any signs of cracks, dents, or excessive wear. Replace the nozzle if significant damage is observed.
- Storage: Store the nozzle in a clean, dry place away from extreme temperatures and corrosive materials.
