Milwaukee Rubber Products Inc. has announced it is now distributing the Zip Tube — a new hydroexcavation suction/water erosion nozzle engineered with a rugged build to withstand harsh environments.
The Zip Tube is built with a 0.100-inch wall, 6- or 8-inch Tuff Tube, and is equipped with an external stainless steel water ring containing 10 (6-inch) or 12 (8-inch) stainless steel replaceable jets that pulverize soil with water pressure. Soil is then removed by vacuum suction through the tube.
It’s available with a Vactor style 6- or 8-inch flange, and Super Products Bandlock or Aquatech connection options.
Engineered for safety
Features of the Zip Tube include an adjustable handle with a rubber bump stop inside the water ring. The bump stop protrudes forward to help safeguard the water ring jets against abrasion from rocks, debris and underground services.
There’s also a rubber safety tube attached to the exterior of the water ring that helps control the spray of water and eroded material that can splatter during the hydroexcavation process.
Milwaukee Rubber Products Inc. has been in business more than 65 years and is based out of Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin. The company stocks and distributes hoses, couplings, valves, pumps, vacuum accessories and safety equipment. It also custom builds rubber parts to exact specification for its clients.
