	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

	Components / Options:
	Your choices are...
	Adapter Nozzle / Ring		An adapter nozzle or ring forms a seal around between the tube or hose end, and the launcher or projectile launching gun.
	Gun - Drill / Motor		Drill motors are specialized motors, guns, drills or power tool units designed to drive the rotary hose or tube cleaning head or tool bit.
	Gun - Launcher		A launcher is a water or air-powered gun that propels the cleaning projectile through the hose or tube.
	Projectile - Abrasive / Grinding		Projectiles consist of abrasive or grinding foam or plastic cylinders or plugs with abrasive grit distributed radially on the outer surface of the projectile. Abrasive or grinding projectiles are used to remove hard scale, rust, corrosion or other tenacious deposits.
	Projectile - Ball		Projectiles consist of ball or sponge ball projectiles, usually with variety of diameters. The balls create vortexes, which help the cleaning process.
	Projectile - Brush		Brush projectiles often consist of a section of wire or nylon brush with a twisted wire or metal core. Brush projectile can also consist of radial or cylindrical brushes on a dowel or plastic core.
	Projectile - Foam		Foam projectiles consist of foam cylinders or plugs. The type of foam durometer or openness used varies depending on the application.
	Projectile - Plastic Fins / Scrapers		Plastic fin or scraper projectiles consist of cylindrical plugs with plastic fins or scrapers. The plastic projectiles are less aggressive than metal bladed projectile, but more aggressive than foam projectiles.
	Projectile - Metal Blades / Scrapers		Metal fin or scraper projectiles consist of cylindrical plugs with metal blades or scrapers. The metal projectiles are more aggressive than plastic or foam projectiles.
	Rotary - Abrasive / Grinder		The rotary cleaning head uses abrasive sleeves, pads, bonded abrasive points, flapwheels, honing stick or other specialty abrasive products to abrade debris away and clean the restricted tube.
	Rotary Blade / Cutter		The rotary cutter or cutting head uses blades or to cut plugs or wall debris away and clean the restricted tube.
	Rotary Brush		The rotary cutter or cutting head uses brushes to clean the tube or hose walls and reduce the restriction.
	Rotary Roller		The rotary cutter or cutting head uses rollers to clean or open the tube or hose walls and reduce the restriction.
	Rotary Scraper		The rotary cutter or cutting head uses scrapers to clean the tube or hose walls and reduce the restriction. Scrapers do not get loaded with gummy deposits as easily as brushes.
	Water Jetting Nozzle / Device		Water jetting nozzles are used to direct or guide a stream of water or air. Other liquids or gases may be used for special applications. Interior tube sidewalls are cleaned using spin, rotary or rotating nozzle, which distributes the force of the jet over larger area. Tube deplugging applications utilize a nozzle that direct the jet forward along the tube axis.
	Specialty / Other		Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary machine type.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

	Dust Collection / Vacuum System?		Dust collection, vacuum, or filtration systems remove fine particle sizes of abrasives, media, and other cleaning blasting waste by-products (removed scale or stock in the form of dust or fine swarf).
	Search Logic:		"Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.

Diameter Specifications


	Tube / Hose Diameter		Diameter of the tube or hose to be cleaned.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

Industry / Application
