hoses are used in the waterblasting system.
Prior to installing the 2” J-Force onto the hose, ush the system to clear any
debris.
15K PSI RATED CONNECTION (1/4” BSPP)
1. BSPP at seal connections require a copper crush washer between the male
and female connections.
2. Seat copper crush washer in female BSPP connection on mandrel
3. Apply anti-seize compound to male threads of mating hose end.
4. Install the JF2X15 by using an appropriate open-ended wrench on ats found
on the body and tighten to 20 lbs. ft.
22K PSI RATED CONNECTION (9/16” & 3/8” LH/RH FEMALE INLET)
1. Apply anti-seize compound to the male threads of the connection.
NOTE: DO NOT use Teon tape on 22K PSI connections.
2. Install the JF3X22 by using an appropriate open-ended wrench on ats found
on the body and tighten until rmly snug.
NOTE: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Damage to coned sealing surface could result.
22K PSI RATED CONNECTION (1/2” NPT FEMALE INLET)
1. Apply 3-4 wraps of Teon thread sealant tape to the available male threads of
the connection.
2. Apply anti-seize compound over the sealant tape for additional protection

1. Start by slowly increasing pressure to 500 psi and check the entire system,
including all connections, for leaks. Increase pressure in increments,
pausing at each to inspect the system for leaks, proper rotation of tool,
temperature, and other operational anomalies. If any problems are
discovered, lower pressure back to zero and turn off source of power before
making any adjustments.
2. During operation, it is normal for water to leak out of the front of the head
from around the front nozzle (or front plug). This leak-by water comes from
the water-bearing that the tool operates on.
