Slice Through Grease, Sludge, Sand, Ice & More
Popular, powerful Jet-Set® electric, gas, and trailer water jets from General Pipe Cleaners slice through grease, sludge, sand, ice, and other “soft” stoppages that many cable drain cleaners can’t clear!
Water jets unleash high-pressure water streams that pulverize clogs – and flush them away. Nozzle thrust drives the hose down lines – and gives wall-to-wall pipe cleaning action.
General’s rugged, reliable water jets are excellent for blockages in restaurants, hotels, hospitals, factories, schools, sports arenas, care facilities, shopping centers, waste treatment plants, septic systems, and more.
Portable Electric Jets
Compact and economical, they’re superb for clearing smaller and inside 1-1/2” to 4” lines – like sinks and laundry drains. Hand-carry 23-lb JM-1000 Mini-Jet™ right to problems in its rugged metal diamond plate case. Or wheel the trim JM-1450 right to troubles. Its telescoping handle and detachable hose reel make maneuvering easy. And both pack 1500 psi of cleaning power.
Maneuverable Gas Jets
General’s muscular machines punch through stubborn stoppages in longer and outside 4” to 8” lines. All sport reliable engines, 3000 psi punch, puncture-proof tires, and robust, tubular chassis. On-demand Vibra-pulse® technology helps propel hoses down long runs and around tight bends.
Models range from light, economical JM-2900 through precisely balanced JM-3000 with electric start and generous 300 ft. capacity hose reel. The JM-3080 tops the line with a 12 gal buffer tank and 8 gpm flow rate – the industry’s highest without requiring a trailer.
Powerful Trailer Jet
General’s brawny JM-2512 Typhoon® delivers 12 gpm at 2500 psi to blast clogs from 4” to 12” lines up to 400 ft. long. A 200 gal holding tank aids operations in remote areas with limited water. Two hose reels offer plenty of reach. And standard equipment includes rugged radial tires, leaf-spring suspension, electric brakes, fold-down stabilizer jacks, and more.
There’s a Jet-Set jetter for every application. For details of models and accessories, visit www.drainbrain.com/jets. Or contact General’s Drain Brains® at 800-245-6200 or 412-771-6300.

The new patent-pending Boiler Vent Valve is a space-saving valve that expands the utility of a boiler’s existing ¾” pressure relief valve (PRV) port, capitalizing on its location at the top of the unit as the ideal placement for an air vent and other accessories. Its automatic air vent can be isolated for service, allowing the PRV (included with the boiler or sold separately) to operate unobstructed. Plugged FIP ports accommodate the installation of a low-water cut-off device and/or pressure gauge if so desired.

Broomfield, Colo. — Viega announces the availability of new products in its MegaPress® and ProPress® product lines. The expanded line of ball valves completes the MegaPress system and is ideal for commercial and industrial applications, including gas applications. All the valves have Viega’s SmartConnect® technology, which helps installers easily identify unpressed connections during a pressure test. The new products being added to the line of MegaPress ball valves are:
- – MegaPress Ball Valve 1⁄2” to 2” (EPDM Sealing Element) – a full port valve featuring a carbon steel body, double-stem seal, stainless steel ball, and a lockable handle.
- – MegaPress FKM Ball Valve 1⁄2” to 2” (FKM Sealing Element) – this valve has the same carbon steel body, double-stem seal, stainless steel ball, and lockable handle, yet features an FKM sealing element which is designed for use in higher-temperature applications. The 2-1⁄2” to 4” valves feature a carbon steel body, chrome-plated ball and an SST lockable handle.
- – MegaPress 304 FKM Ball Valve 1⁄2” to 4” (FKM Sealing Element) – this valve features a 304 stainless steel body, double-stem seal, stainless steel ball, and lockable handle. The combination of the FKM sealing element and the 304 stainless steel makes this option ideal for harsh environments that require higher operating temperatures.
- – MegaPress 316 Ball Valve 1⁄2” to 4” (EPDM Sealing Element) – this valve works in a variety of harsh environments, including cleaning agents, acid, and potable water. It is made of a 316 stainless steel body featuring a double-stem seal, a stainless steel ball, and lockable handle.
- – MegaPressG Ball Valve 2 1⁄2” to 4” (HNBR Sealing Element) – now available in large diameters, the valves feature an HNBR sealing element at the press-ends which is compatible with fuel and gas applications.
- – MegaPress 316 Check Valve (EPDM Sealing Element) – the check valve helps create directional flow of fluid in one direction while preventing fluid from flowing back. It is ideal for industrial applications, including potable water, rainwater, chilled and hydronic water.
“After 10 years of success, it’s exciting to have the MegaPress portfolio grow with maintenance-free MegaPress ball valves that enable fast, safe and efficient installation from 1⁄2” to 4″. MegaPress 316 spring check valves are a useful addition to the MegaPress 316 portfolio and carry an NSF®-61-372 listing,” said Christian Becker, Product Manager, Valves, of Viega LLC.
Viega also released two new products for the ProPress system – the ProPress Manual Balancing Valve and ProPress 316 ECO Tubing. The ProPress 316 ECO Tubing is a stainless-steel alternative to copper. It’s engineered for commercial potable systems where the piping may come into contact with corrosive cleaning liquids. It is compatible with ProPress 316 fittings and is a great option for potable water, air, acidic and cleaning solution applications.The Viega ProPress Manual Balancing Valve features an adjustable handle with an integral scale visible on the side used to increase or decrease the flow rate. The two pressure-test ports are used to measure the differential pressure across the seat of the valve, which can be used to calculate the flow rate. The ProPress Manual Balancing Valve is suitable for commercial applications, including potable and hydronic systems.
“Our customers now have more options to use press technology for a larger number of applications,” said Luke Paulo, Manager, Product Portfolio Development of Viega LLC. “The new ProPress 316 ECO tubing is a natural extension to our existing ProPress 316 line. It carries an NSF®-61-372 listing, which means our ProPress 316 system can be used in potable water systems.”
