Hourleey Sewer Jetter Kit for Pressure Washer 100FT, Drain Cleaner Hose 1/4 Inch NPT, Orifice 4.0 Button Nose and Rotating Sewer Jetting Nozzle Spanner Tape Pearl Corsage Pin, 4000 PSI

I live in New England, and our gutters empty into ankle-high cast iron pipes that run underground (I think either to a french drain or the sewer system). Those pipes have been clogged with dirt and debris since we got the house, and with all the torrential rain recently, they fully backed up causing some moisture issues in our basement. I came across "jetting" as a solution instead of traditional snaking — glad I did. Some products I found, the hose alone cost $60. The "Clog Hog" seems nice, but goes for $180ish. So after shopping a spectrum of products, I was skeptical about this $40 dollar kit that came with everything needed, but it turned out great! Installing the fittings onto the hose was a breeze since it came with 2 wrenches and teflon tape. I put the quick attach on one end so I could pair this with my power washer's gun. I used one jet head for 3 of the pipes, all of which cleared within 5 minutes of work. Note — you want to work the hose up and down as it's pulling itself into the pipe, that seems to help clear out debris. Each time, the water would be filling up the pipe, and then suddenly I'd see it all drain as the jet cleared the obstruction. Very satisfying and relieving to have it work. I ended up using all of the tips on the 4th and most difficult drain which took me probably 40 minutes. There was definitely a major obstruction, as the water wasn't draining AT ALL to begin. The first head helped it start to drain a little. When I got stuck, switching the heads out seemed to help — I think partially because of their different features, and also because backing the hose all the way out cleared the pipe and let the water drain. Each time I put on a different head, it seemed to work down the pipe a little further. The spinning jet head was neat as it makes a loud whizzing noise and I could kind of hear where it was under the sidewalk. It actually brought up some roots from about 10 feet in when I pulled it up. In the end I cleared all the pipes, and even used it to clean out the downspouts from the gutter which had gotten dirt and leaves stuck in the elbows. I'll also say, some other hoses I saw seemed to have a stiff collar covering several inches of either end of the hose. I read that these make it impossible to bend around tight corners, which I knew these cast iron pipes had. This hose was pretty much flexible right after the metal ends and worked perfect for me.

The Hourleey Jetter Kit (100 feet) pleasantly surprised me! Back in January of this year (2024), I had to have my 1,600 gallon septic tank pumped out and rent a 1/2-inch dia. 100 feet size electric roto-rooter to try and clear some tree roots from my two-100ft leach lines. Even with the moderately sized roto-rooter and working in ideal conditions (i.e., empty septic tank, distribution boxes and leach lines), it took me nearly a day and a half to clear my leach lines. Based on the feel of the roto-rooter equipment, I felt that I had only partially cleared the lines and would eventually need to do something more effective. So, after returning the rental equipment, I immediately looked on Amazon for a better solution that wasn't going to "break-the-bank." What I found was the Hourleey Sewer Jetter Kit. After reading its reviews, I ordered one to hopefully finish the job. I received the product in a timely fashion, but since the lines seemed to be working adequately after the partial clearing, I got busy with other things and never followed up with finishing the job. Good thing I didn't re-bury my leach line distribution boxes, because fast forwarding 11 months to this December 2024, and the leach lines completely clogged again. Unfortunately, this time, the septic tank, distribution boxes and leach lines were completely full of leachate (YUCK!!!) And, I couldn't get a truck out to pump my tank for about a week or so. So, I suited up in my "nasty gear" (i.e., old plastic rain suit, boots, water proof gloves, and goggles), whipped out my 3,100 PSI gas powered power washer, and hooked up the Hourleey sewer jetting kit and got to work. I started with the number 4.0 jet nozzle since it had more cutting power than the 4.5 and 5.5 or the spinning jet nozzle. At about 30 feet into the first line, I felt a root mass and thought, "Oh CR#@P!!! This thing ain't gonna work - it feels like a concrete wall - I'm in deep doodoo (literally) !!!" But to my amazement, after continuing to work on it by pulling the hose in and out at the blockage, it finally broke through after about 20 minutes (the blockage felt like it was ~10 ft long). As soon as I punched through the root mass, it was like someone flushed the toilet and the water swished down the leach line from the distribution box and the septic tank - it was the SWEETEST site and sound that you wanted to see and hear (not smell) !!!! After the blockage was worked back and forth several times with the no. 4.0 jet nozzle, I ran the jetting kit down its full 100 ft length to make sure there were no more blockages in the line. I then pulled the hose out and replaced the nozzle with the rotating one (the even cleaning cylindrical nozzle that sprays out the back only). I ran it down its full 100 ft length, working it back and forth, 3 to 4 feet at a time, until the entire 100 ft of leach line had been cleared. This final step helped cut and break up any remaining roots and clear drainage slots/holes in the lines from any surface biomass that may have formed or accumulated over the years. I repeated this exact procedure for the second leach line. It worked like a charm!!!! The best thing was that I didn't even need to pump out the septic tank or distribution boxes, since it worked under submerged conditions! After clearing the first line, the second line drained back through the first line making its entrance easier to find. I am EXTREMELY happy with the product - at a minimum, it saved me about $1,500 - $2,000 for a tank pump out and leach line clearing job!!!!

Great hose for keeping your sewer or drain pipes clean. Fits perfectly on my power washer. A must for anyone with a sewer. Saves money by not having to call the plumber.

I ordered this because it would arrive the next day and fortunately it worked as advertised. I did not give 5 stars because of the lack of instructions in the box. The parts are easy enough to figure out but I still don't know what the sewing pins are for and the difference is between the 3 nearly identical spray nozzles. They are numbered 4.0, 4.5, and 5.0 but are otherwise the same in appearance. It easily connected to my pressure washer and it was simple to drop the nozzle down into my sewer clean-out / check valve and guide it up the pipe. Once the water pressure was applied it moved itself along the pipe with some minor difficulty. I had to move it back and forth a few times and untwist the coils in the hose to get it to feed smoothly. It eventually reached the clog and broke it up quickly. This tool saved a few hundred dollars in a plumbing service call. My sewer line has been scoped several times in the last 3 years and is in good condition. I suspect the jet will not be effective on lines that are compromised. It is relatively cheap and effective if your problem is just a line clog.

I had a clogged yard drain and decided to try this rather than pay a few hundred bucks to hire a professional. My pressure washer is only rated 1800 psi and was able to clear the built-up debris which consisted mostly of sediment. I purchased a 50-foot hose which was adequate for my purpose, and I was able to push the entire length through the drain pipe including a 90-degree elbow. Because I was dealing with heavy sediment, I also inserted it into the downstream end to help remove the sediment from the drain. The hose and nozzles appear durable and should last many years. I feel that a 100-foot hose would work best using a higher pressure since the jet nozzle propels the hose forward. Since there were no written instructions, I had to rely on the product information on the Amazon website.

I had a clog in the main sewer line that I could hit with a snake, but not break loose. I started looking into these and bought this one because a lot of the others are made from thermoplastic and polyester. This one has an actual pvc coating over the thermoplastic. After reading reviews, the others seemed to have a higher risk of bursting or being too soft to push into the pipe. Some others are made with a steel braid, but that seemed like overkill for household use and pricing. I think this hose is a good middle ground. It was stiff enough to go 35' into my pipe without binding, folding or kinking and broke loose the blockage. I also noticed some others are bulky around the fitting area and some even have an extra rubber covering over the area where the connector is crimped to the hose making it really bulky. This hose has a nice slim design in that area. It worked amazingly and I am thankful I did not have to call a professional! If you have never done anything like this before, it is possible, you can do it, but you will never want to again! I had the foresight to assume there would be pressure in the line, so I made sure to stay to the side when I loosened the cap to access the pipe. I loosened it about 1/2 way and let the water drain out because if I had taken it all the way off, it would have gushed very violently. My pipe has a weird S going into the ground and I wanted to have a straight shot going into it so I used a taper drill bit and drilled a hole in the top of the pipe and ran the hose in. It did not snag on the S at all. My hubby operated the pressure washer from outside the house. You can push the hose in without water flow, but having that water flow makes it much easier, so I recommend having a buddy system for this. The way the backwash nozzle worked was awesome. It flushed back the clog as it was breaking through and I pulled the hose partially out to help wash it out then ran it back in. When I could feel I had hit the soild part of the clog, I let it sit and eat at it for a bit then pulled the hose back about a foot and rammed it in again. I had to work at it this way for about 30 minutes. I was getting backwash out of the open cap the entire time. All of a sudden, it sounded like a toilet flushed and I was no longer getting backwash. I broke through! I pulled the hose almost all the way out and ran it back through 2 more times to really clean it. I put a rubber plug in the hole I drilled and wrapped it with duct tape to keep it in place and put the cap back on. We filled up the washer and bathtub then drained it all at the same time. Success! I recommend wearing a dust mask if you have to be under your house like I did. It obviously won't help with the smell, but it can be surprisingly dusty. Wear old clothes and shoes you don't care to throw away afterward. Wear rubber/nitrite gloves under your work gloves to keep your hands dry. Wear goggles or at least safety glasses. You DO NOT want anything that comes out of that pipe in your eyes. Maybe some knee pads for crawling around. And have a strong stomach so you don't throw up in your mask. I truly wish you the best if you have to do this yourself. Plumbers are expensive, and they deserve every penny of it for having to take on jobs like this everyday!

My drainage pipe I'm pretty sure had never been cleaned out. I was quoted $2k from a reputable firm. But I thought I'd give this a try before paying so much. You can see the hole I dug in order to access the pipe. The hose that comes with it was the perfect flex. Stiff enough to push against all the sand but still flexible enough to go around turns. I hooked it up to an 1800 psi electric pressure washer. If you have a 4000 psi it would definitely go faster. But using the fixed jets to do the initial ramming and flushing of the sand was good. Just take your time. You can see in the 2nd picture all the wet sand that is coming out and even then that isn't all of it. So the little thing worked really good for an extreme plug. The hole with the water had to drain and be cleaned out 4 times in order to get all the dirt out. And the last picture is the final pipe clean with the rotary head. One thing that surprised me was with the clearing the hose starts pulling itself which I found great. But caution be sure as you are pulling out go slow because it won't pull all the dirt out so fast. You have to definitely work it to get it clean. I was pretty sure the heads were going to clog and be painful but that wasn't the case. 100% happy and recommend it to you.

If you use their parts directly connected to the hose provided, it should work. But the parts are made a bit out of spec so they dont quite work with other parts. I wanted to put quick connects at each end of the hose, but discovered that the 1/4 NPT is a little larger than spec, so I could only get 2-3 turns with the quick connect, and one end leaked, even with teflon tape. Most of the nozzles worked but had the same issue - I put a quick connect on the end so I could swap out the nozzles easily. Again, I could only get 2 turns with the NPT threads, a bit dangerous with 3000 PSI. One fitting (female NPT to quick connect) didnt work - looking inside, the threads had lots of burrs and dirt in the threads, as if it was threaded on a dirty part. So for these reasons, two stars are deducted for mediocre quality control. Comment - used this with an electric pressure washer and its clear it would do better with a gas pressure washer. Will clean dirt out of a pipe but not strong enough with an electric pressure washer to clear roots.
