TL;DR
A hydro jetting nozzle is the engineered tip on a sewer jetter hose that splits high-pressure water into rear-facing jets that propel the hose up the pipe and scour the walls, plus, on many models, a forward jet that penetrates blockages. Styles are task-specific: penetrators for grease and ice, root-cutting heads, rotary nozzles for scale, and flushing designs that sweep debris back to the access point.
What it means
A hydro jetting nozzle is the engineered tip on a sewer jetter hose that splits high-pressure water into rear-facing jets that propel the hose up the pipe and scour the walls, plus, on many models, a forward jet that penetrates blockages. Styles are task-specific: penetrators for grease and ice, root-cutting heads, rotary nozzles for scale, and flushing designs that sweep debris back to the access point. Matching the nozzle's orifice sizing to the machine's GPM and PSI is what separates wall-cleaning results from merely poking a hole through the clog.
