Preparation
Step 1: Nozzle and projectile selection
Select nozzle and projectile from Nozzle and Projectile selection
charts on pages 6, 7, 8 and 9.
Step 2: Nozzle installation
Remove the locking ring from the firing head by rotating ring
clockwise. (See Figure 2 & 3)
General Information
The Eaton’s FT1455-L3 Hand Held Launcher was designed to
shoot a projectile through hose and tube assemblies to strip out
internal contamination such as rubber dust and metal particles
from cutting processes, metal flash from crimping operations,
and contaminated oil from hoses and tubes in hydraulic systems.
Eaton Hose Cleaning Systems reduce downtime, extends filter
life and reduces the risk of failure and premature wear due to
contamination.
The purpose of this manual is to present the basic operating and
safety information for the Eaton FT1455-L3 Hand Held Projectile
Launcher.
Safety Instructions
Read and understand the operator’s manual before
attempting to operate this unit. Failure to follow
operating instructions could result in personal injury or
property damage.
Prevent Unauthorized Operation: Do not permit anyone
to operate this unit unless they have read and thoroughly
understand this manual.
Wear Safety Glasses: Risk of eye injury! Eye protection is
required at all times during the installation and operation
of this unit. Failure to wear safety glasses could result in
personal injury.
Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches
invite accidents.
Never point or fire the unit in the direction of any person.
Do not attempt to dislodge a projectile from the
Hand Held Launcher when air supply is connected to
the launcher.
Do not place any objects into the launching nozzle
other than Eaton Projectiles.
Launcher and projectiles are only to be used for
cleaning hose and tubes rated for at least 110 P.s.i.
Installation
When installing the hand held projectile launcher make sure you
have a filtered and regulated air or inert gas source. Note: Never
Use Oxygen. A 1/2” NPT regulator with gauge and a 5 micron air
filter should be installed in the supply line to ensure clean
dry air.
Maintenance
Visually inspect Hand Launcher for accumulation of particulate
and oil from inlet air source. Clean as needed. Keep the hose
assembly area clean to reduce recontamination of hose, tube
and pipe assemblies.

Install the required nozzle and adapter ring for application. The
adapter ring if needed, snaps into the face plate first.
(See Figure 3 & 4).
Step 3: Projectile Installation
Insert projectile into the nozzle, reattach locking ring to the firing
head by rotating ring counterclockwise. (See Figure 5 & 6).
Note: Failure to secure locking ring may cause serious injury to the operator
and or damage to the launcher. (See Figure 7).

Step 4: Operation
Place the hose, tube or pipe against the nozzle to insure a good
air seal. Depress the trigger until the projectile exits the opposite
end of the hose, tube or pipe you are cleaning.
(See Figure 8).
Figure 9
Figure 8
Step 5:
Inspect projectile for contamination after firing through hose,
tubing or pipe. Several projectiles may need to be fired to
thoroughly remove contaminates. (See Figure 9).

**Use larger recommended Eaton Projectiles when
cutting hose with an abrasive wheel. The above sizes are
recommendations. Due to different types of fittings, and the
amount ofcontamination in the line, the size projectile may need
to be adjusted.

Tubing must be deburred prior to firing projectiles. Depending
on the type of contamination present in the tube, abrasive
projectiles may be used to remove rust and scale. Always use
an Eaton projectile after the use of an abrasive projectile. Tube
projectiles should be used to remove mandrel lubricants, grease
and oil.

Abrasive projectiles may be used when there is a build-up of
contamination, surface rust or scale. For pipe applications where
there is a greater build-up of contamination, surface rust or
scale, use a grinding projectile. Pipe must be straight for this
projectile.
NOTE: To ensure cleanliness, an Ultra Clean projectile must be used after abrasive.
Please call if you need help in sizing your application for the correct nozzles and
projectiles.
