OPERATION
As per the WJTA-IMCA Recommended Practices, all operators shall follow the
OSHA regulations for personal protective equipment. (OSHA guidelines for
Personal Protective Equipment are available in document number 3151-12R 2004,
which can be obtained from www.osha.gov.) All operators shall be issued suitable

for the Use of High Pressure Waterjetting Equipment’ Section 6, Protective
Equipment For Personnel.
SETUP/OPERATION
The VersaBoom is designed to hold and position a 3D waterblast tool on the
end of a ½” or 13mm waterblast hose. With the use of extension tubes, offset
distances of up to 10 feet from the manway can be achieved.
The length of the extension tube above the ball pipe (Item 6) should allow
for anchoring to a nearby structure and a safe position for the operator when
adjusting the device. The length of the extension tube below the positioning ball
will be determined by the desired cleaning nozzle position inside the vessel. The
baseplate (8) should be securely attached to the manway using bolts or clamps.
1. Pass hose end through the gland (Item 12), nipple (10), anchor coupling (5), 2’
extension tube (16), coupler (4), and ball pipe (6)
2. Hose enters split end of elbow (7) and through lower extension tube (16/17)
and outlet tting (11)
3. Install collet (8 or 9 depending on hose size) between nipple (10) and gland
(12).
4. Connect all 1-1/2” NPT pipe connections together securely
5. Align lower extension tube with lower slot in ball pipe and tighten the bolt (3)
in the split end of elbow.
6. Attach waterblast tool to hose end.
The operator can adjust the position by loosening the cap (6), pivoting the
assembly into the desired position and tightening the cap. Use the anchor
loops on the anchor coupling (5) to hold the position of the ball. The hose can be
extended or retracted in the vessel by loosening the collet (8/9) with the gland
wrench (12). Make sure all clamps and joints are securely tightened and the hatch
is secured before operation. An aluminum hatchway is provided to view the tool
location within the vessel and to check on the cleaning process.
!!CAUTION
1. Securely attach baseplate to vessel manway ange with bolts or clamps.
2. Anchor upper extension tube to nearby structure with chain or similar
restraint using loops on anchor coupling.
3. To maximize stability, keep upper and lower extension tubes and anchor
attachment in the same plane.
4. When collet is loosened, hose will slide freely through the ball. It must be
supported by hand.
5. Make sure all clamps and joints are securely tightened and the hatch is
secured before operation.
6. Always shut down pump before the cleaning head is repositioned.
!!CAUTION
DO NOT use the Versaboom™ if it has not been cleaned and inspected prior to starting
the working shift.
