The closed sewer jetting nozzle is the best option for pulling the hose furthest down the line. This nozzle is great for general cleaning tasks. 45-degree orifice angle provides maxmimum pull and cornerability. Fits 1/4" hose. Model 717.
For initial penetration of 3" - 10" sewer lines with medium to heavy stoppages. Forward jet stream helps break up obstructions before the rear facing jets flush the debris down the line. Commonly used for deposits of grease and soap.
Mitch and his team were recently put to the test when faced with a colossal roadblock that would require careful engineering and specialty equipment. Mitch Wright Plumbing was called by a residential customer in Germantown (Memphis), TN who was experiencing slow drains. Upon investigating the situation, the plumbers found extensive root infiltration in the home’s main sewer line. They also discovered that the house had an old clay pipe that was collapsing and needed total replacement. Due to the condition of the pipe, relining was not an option for these homeowners. There were also several large, mature trees in the front of the home, coupled with a large landscaped berm forming a natural water barrier. Clearly, traditional approaches to trenching and replacing the sewer pipe were not possible.
This trenchless pipe repair and replacement system allows 2"-6" pipe replacement with up to three 45-degree bends in the pipe and can even upsize from 4" to 6" pipes.

“Since 1991, J & S Plumbing has been providing quality plumbing services with genuine integrity.” That is one of the first sentences you will read on the J & S Plumbing website and the owners, Jon Romano and Sean McGrath, have built their business on that philosophy.
“My goal is to clean your drains – not your wallet – with quality work and fair, reasonable pricing.” That is the quote at the top of Paul’s website for his company. And it is a philosophy he lives by every day. When he first started in the industry (after a stint as a forklift operator and a donut baker), he worked for one company for seven years and another company for 18 years. But Paul thought he had a better way to run a business, so six years ago he started his own company, Paul Anderson Drain Cleaning. In those 6 years, he has gone from one van to four service vans, a pump truck, a vactor truck, and two tow-behind jets. He has 8 people on his team, and he recently bought the building that houses the company. Paul also has lots of equipment to help on the various jobs they encounter, including Spartan’s Warrior, Soldier, Model 81, Model 100 and Model 300’s. Additionally, each of his eight vans are equipped with the Sparvision 200 sewer camera system.
Stay Calm!
• Keep the lid down so that it is unable to jump out.
• Squirt some liquid dish soap in the toilet to help break the surface tension of the water. The soap de-greases the oils on the rat's fur so it cannot stay afloat in the water.
• Flush the toilet! The rat will usually go back down the drain the same way it came up. You may need to flush multiple times.

HAZARD #1
ELECTRICAL SHOCK - Water and electricity is a deadly combination. The use of any electrical equipment could cause fatal shock if the equipment is not properly grounded, adequately maintained, or if care is not used by the operator. Electrically safe equipment is an absolute necessity.
It’s frustrating—for some reason your Model 1065 just won’t feed out its cable. You’ve already checked out the usual suspects —the power feed, the inner drum assembly, whether or not your cable is kinked—but none of these solve the problem. No matter how much you fight it, the drum just doesn’t spin or spins hard as your cable binds up against it, keeping your machine out of the field and costing you time and money.
