Brute Jetter

Build your Brute Jetter

This page covers every Brute we sell, so the options above the Add to Cart button are where your machine takes shape. Here's what each one means, in the same order you'll pick them.

1. Model — pick your pump

   Brute 4009, Brute 3012 or Brute 3508LP

   

   Brute 4009

   Gas · residential and light commercial

   Flow9 GPM

   Pressure4,000 PSI

   • Most of your work is residential and light commercial
   • Nozzles run with more intensity at this flow rate
   • You want a 3/8" hose that covers a wide range of pipe, from 3" to 6", with limited use in 2"

   

   Brute 3012

   Gas · flushing big lines

   Flow12 GPM

   Pressure3,000 PSI

   • You need to prioritize flushing in 6" line, and sometimes 8"
   • You want more flushing power to carry debris back to the cleanout
   • Less user-friendly in 3"–4" line, and not a fit for 2"

   

   Brute 3508LP

   Liquid propane · indoor jobs

   Flow8.5 GPM

   Pressure3,500 PSI

   • You need a capable cart jetter indoors, where gasoline fumes rule out a gas engine
   • Same engine as the gas models, just running on a different fuel
   • Propane still produces exhaust, so follow the site's ventilation requirements

   Rule of thumb: choose by the pipe you run most, not by the bigger number. The 9 GPM 4009 gives your nozzles more intensity for everyday residential and light commercial work. The 12 GPM 3012 gives up some of that intensity for more flushing power in 6" and 8" line. And if you need to jet indoors, go with the propane 3508LP.

2. Style — Cart or Skid

   Same machine either way. The Brute is modular, so the portability kit comes off to mount it as a skid, and you can switch later as your needs change.

   

   Brute Cart

   A portable cart jetter you roll to the cleanout

   • Four-wheel portability kit with folding handles and a wheel brake to park it where you leave it
   • Single-point lifting eye for loading it in and out of the truck
   • Your cleanouts are often in backyards, alleys or places the truck can't reach
   • You share one jetter between trucks or crews

   

   Brute Skid

   A skid jetter you bolt in and go to work

   • Mounts in a van, truck or trailer — compact enough for a small van like a Ford Transit Connect
   • Pairs with a larger water tank skid for longer runs without refilling
   • The truck is your shop, and you want the jetter ready the moment you park
   • You'd rather feed hose off the truck than roll 500+ lb across a lawn

3. Hose Reel — how the hose comes home

   Hand Crank, Powered On/Off or Powered Variable Speed

   Hand Crank

   The simplest setup, with nothing electrical on the reel. You wind the hose back in yourself.

   Powered On/Off

   Rewinds under power at the flip of a switch, so pulling 300 ft of hose back isn't a workout.

   Powered Variable Speed

   Control the speed and direction of the reel. It's also the reel the optional wireless remote can run from the cleanout.

4. Hose Length — size and reach

   1/2" × 300 ft, 1/2" × 400 ft, 3/8" × 300 ft or 3/8" × 400 ft

   3/8" or 1/2" hose

   3/8" hose is lighter and gets into smaller lines. 1/2" hose moves more water with less pressure lost along the way, which is why Jetters Northwest pairs 3/8" with the 9 GPM 4009 and 1/2" with the 12 GPM 3012.

   300 ft or 400 ft

   The extra 100 ft buys reach on long laterals and commercial runs. Every foot of hose costs a little pressure at the nozzle, so go long only if your jobs call for it.

5. Nozzle Kit — start with the right tools

   Yes or No

   The jetter supplies the water. The nozzle decides what it does in the pipe. Add the nozzle kit if you want a starter set on the truck from day one, or build your own from our sewer jetter nozzles page, which breaks down penetrators, cutters, flushers, pushers and spinners by the job.

What makes it different

Every control on one panel

Engine key switch, throttle, pressure gauge and jetting controls sit together just below the hose reel. You run the whole job from one spot instead of walking around the machine.

Dial in the pressure

The adjustable pressure regulator gives you a wide range of settings, so you can back off for fragile pipe and bring it up for heavy grease. It also lets you run remote shutoff valves or a foot pedal.

Keeps the pump cool between pushes

A 3-way jetting valve sends water to the nozzle or bypasses it back to the tank. The pump keeps circulating water while you reposition instead of dead-heading.

Pulsation, for when you're stuck

Pulsation is a last-resort tool for freeing a hose that's hung up, and it stays off during normal jetting. Don't use it to make a turn: if the nozzle won't take a turn with pulsation off, getting it past with pulsation doesn't mean you'll get it back.

Hose bib or tank — your call

The 12-gallon on-board buffer tank with a float valve draws from a hose bib, or connects to a larger water tank when the site supply can't keep up. The buffer tank doubles as an antifreeze tank for winterizing.

Built like a roll cage

A fully welded, powder-coated steel frame protects the Kohler fuel-injected V-twin and the UDOR super-duty gearbox-driven pump. A liquid-filled gauge and an hour meter/tach help you keep up with maintenance.

What it clears

A hydro jetter scours the full pipe wall and flushes the debris out over long distances. With the right nozzle on the end, the Brute handles:

What comes with it

• Jetting hose on the reel, in the size and length you choose
• Frame-mounted storage box to keep nozzles and small tools close at hand
• Anti-turnaround nozzle extension to help keep the nozzle from reversing in larger pipe
• Multi-tip cleaner in a protective flip case
• Hose holder to secure the hose when it's not in use
• Operator's manual, printed and digital

How it works

1. Diagnose the problem

   If the pipe is holding water, start with a penetrator. If it isn't, choose the nozzle that fits the job from our sewer jetter nozzles page.

2. Hook up and pick your hose

   Connect the jetter to your water supply. Then decide whether to run the base hose on the reel or a secondary auxiliary hose, depending on pipe size and the length of the run.

3. Feed the nozzle, then set pressure

   Get the nozzle into the pipe first. Then set your working pressure on the regulator and check it on the gauge.

4. Clean the pipe

   Work the nozzle through the line until it's clean, then bring the hose home on the reel.

Add-ons worth asking about

Jetters Northwest builds a set of options around the Brute. Give us a call and we'll help you figure out which ones pay off for your work.

Deluxe Wireless Remote

Start and stop the engine, run the throttle and turn jetting flow on or off from the cleanout, without walking back to the machine. With a variable-speed reel it runs the reel too.

A remote switch on the panel lets you hand control to the remote or keep it at the machine.

Questions? We're a phone call away
