The leader hose is a the short, high pressure, different colored hose attached to the end of the main high pressure jetting hose. They are purposely a different color from the main hose so that when the operator sees that color hose coming out of the pipe, they know the nozzle is approaching the end of the pipe, and they should shut their machine off. 

Leader hoses are available in a variety of lengths, diameters, and pressures. All leader hoses come with a female end that attaches to the main high pressure hose and a male end that the nozzle attaches to. Your leader hose pressure rating must either match or be higher than your main high pressure hose. Since main high pressure water hoses can be expensive, the safety leader hose acts as the inexpensive sacrificial hose that experiences the worst wear. This keeps your main jetting hose in better condition, extending its lifespan.

FAQ

What is the best high pressure jetting hose?

Hydro jetting hose preferences vary by the operator, but the overall best jetter hose is the US Jetting red 1/2" sewer hose. It's the most popular with our customers and has incredible durability and maneuverability in the pipe. The high quality lining has just the right balance of flexibility and rigidity to allow the operator to navigate around bends without kinking.

How long should a jetter hose last?

The key to the longevity of a hydro jetting hose is protecting the hose. Using a tiger tail to safe guard the hose against sharp edges of the pipe, using manhole rollers if jetting in manholes, and using the sacrificial leader hose all helps to extend the life span of a jetting hose. If the jetting hose is protected properly and used frequently, a good jetting hose should last for at least a year.

Why should I buy a mini or micro hose kit to work with my jetter?

Having a mini or micro hose kit allows for jetting in smaller diameter pipes. It extends the versatility of the hydro jetting so it can operate in pipe sizes 2" - 18". Remember to always open the bypass valve to divert water flow whenever using accessory hose kits with the main jetter hose.
