Section 3: Preparation for Use
3.0 The Rotomag X22 is generally mounted to a rigid lance or a flexible
hose for cleaning pipes. It can be used with a centralizer and can be fit-
ted with nozzle extensions. See Appendix B for applicable accessories.
3.1 Before use, disassemble the Rotomag X22 and inspect the mandrel
and bushing for wear, damage, o-ring condition, etc. and repair or rebuild
as necessary. See Section 6 for disassembly and assembly details.
3.2 Clean the Rotomag X22 by wiping internal components using a soft
cloth and a water dispersing lubricant like WD-40.
3.3 See nozzle charts in Appendix B to choose nozzle configuration, flow
rate, and desired operating pressure. The Rotomag X22 is equipped with
two forward facing ports at 45°, two low speed radial ports at 90°, two
high speed radial ports at 90°, and two rearward facing ports at 135°.
Choose nozzle size based on desired operating pressure and flow.
3.4 The two sets of radial ports are marked ‘LS’ and ‘HS’ for low speed
and high speed, respectively. The high speed ports have a larger offset
distance from the centerline than the low speed ports, which will cause
the tool to spin faster. The high speed ports also allow the tool to be run
at lower flows than the low speed ports due to the higher torque created
by the offset distance.
