Prior to the start of any job, make sure only high pressure rated fittings and hoses
are used in the waterblasting system.
Connect the body to the system according the appropriate connection rating
below.
DO NOT ASSEMBLE SLEEVE OR FRONT NOZZLE AT THIS STAGE.
Once
body is connected, engage the pump and purge the lines for a minute to clear any
possible debris. Disengage pump once lines are purged.
15K PSI RATED TUBE SPINNING NOZZLES
NOTE:
When using a thruster, follow the steps below, repeating twice, to
assemble body to thruster then thruster to lance or stinger.
FOR NPT CONNECTIONS:
1.
Apply 3-4 wraps of Teflon thread sealant tape to the male threads on the
mating lance or stinger.
2. Apply anti-seize compound over the sealant tape for additional protection
against galling in connection threads.
3.
Install the nozzle bodies by using appropriate open-end wrench on flats
found on body and tighten 1-2 turns past hand-tight. All NPT pipe connections
should have a minimum thread engagement of (4) threads.
FOR BSPP AND M7 FLAT SEAL CONNECTIONS:
1.
BSPP and M7 flat seal connections required a copper crush washer between
the male and female connections.
2. Seat copper crush washer in female BSPP or M7 connection on tube spinning
nozzle body.
3. Apply anti-seize compound to male threads of mating lance or stinger.
4.
Install the nozzle bodies by using appropriate open-end wrench on flats found
on body and tighten to 20lb-ft.
22K PSI RATED TUBE SPINNING NOZZLES
1. Apply anti-seize compound to the male threads and cone of the mating lance or
stinger.
NOTE:
DO NOT use Teflon tape on 22K PSI connections.
2.
Install the nozzle bodies by using appropriate open-end wrench on flats found on
body and tighten until firmly snug.
NOTE:
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN; damage to coned sealing surface could result.
SLEEVE AND FRONT NOZZLE
Assemble the sleeve and the appropriate front nozzle or cap (See Appendix B of the
Tube Spinner PI (PI-123) for applicable accessories) to the previously connected body.
Assemble front nozzle or cap according to appropriate connection rating below.
15K PSI MODELS
1. Slide sleeve over male end of body.
FOR NPT CONNECTIONS:
2.
Apply 3-4 wraps of Teflon thread sealant tape to the available male threads found on
the body.
3. Apply anti-seize compound over the sealant tape for additional protection against
galling.
4. Install appropriate FP front nozzle using smooth jaw plier wrench (PN 64119).
5. Tighten 1-2 turns past hand-tight. All NPT pipe connections should have a minimum
thread engagement of (4) threads.
FOR BSPP AND M7 FLAT SEAL CONNECTIONS
6. Seat copper crush washer in female BSPP or M7 connection on appropriate FB or FM
cap nozzle.
7. Apply anti-seize compound to male threads of tube spinning nozzle body.
8.
Install the cap nozzle by using appropriate open-end wrench on flats found on cap
nozzle and tighten to 20lb-ft.
22K PSI MODELS
1. Slide sleeve over male end of body.
2. Apply anti-seize compound to the available male threads found on the body.
NOTE:
DO NOT use Teflon tape on 22K PSI connections.
3. Install appropriate HPFR/HPFL/HPER/HPEL front nozzle by using appropriate open-
end wrench on flats found on cap nozzle and tighten until firmly snug.
NOTE:
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN; damage to coned sealing surface could result.
NOTE:
There should be approximately 1/16” to 1/8” clearance between the sleeve and
the front nozzle. With a knife or other sharp object, clear any Teflon tape or
exposed compound between the nozzle and sleeve. Confirm sleeve spins freely.
OPERATION
DANGER
!
!
Operators and crew need to be clear of spray area as high water pressure is dangerous. The
person controlling the cleaning nozzle must be the operator and must have control of the
pressure. Do not allow a secondary or remote operator have control of pressure. Use only
thoroughly trained operators.

TUBE SPINNER™
| QUICK START GUIDE
QSG-123
WARNING
!
!
Remove the nozzle from service if:
a. The body, sleeve, or front nozzle shows signs of cracking or other damage.
b. The wall thickness of these parts is reduced by 25% at any point.
c. The nozzles can no longer hold pressure at water flow rate for which it was sized.
The Tube Spinner can now be used like any standard tube cleaning nozzle.
Periodically inspect the nozzle for damage or excessive wear.
NOTE:
For improved reliability and longer life, it is recommended that a filter
of at least 10 microns be used on the water supply inlet. A strainer (100
mesh minimum) must also be used in the water tank (if equipped with
tank).
DANGER
!
!
Failure to follow the following instructions will cause unsafe conditions, severe injury can
result.
•
DO NOT operate the Tube Spinner above its specified pressure.
•
When used on a flex lance and in a tube much larger than the nozzle diameter, the Tube
Spinner must be used with a stinger to prevent the nozzle from “doubling back” for
operator safety.
• Operator must wear ear protection due to the noise generated by the spinning nozzle.
• Never stand in the plane of blasting.
•
A Lance Safety Grip is recommended to minimize the risk of a live nozzle exiting the
tube unexpectedly back at the lance operator.
• At high-pressure, the water can be hot. Wear gloves and use precaution to prevent
scalding.
• Place barricades with warning signs or barricade tape around work area. This includes
the waterblast unit and all high-pressure hoses.
•
Operator must be outfitted with proper safety apparel (refer to yellow JETSTREAM SAFETY
WARNING pamphlet). Body armor is strongly recommended.
