CONNECTING TUBE SPINNER

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.

CAUTION

DO NOT use the Tube Spinner if it has not been cleaned and inspected prior to starting the
