Hydra-Flex Machete Linear Oscillating Nozzle

The Hydra-Flex Machete is a linear oscillating hydro excavation nozzle. Instead of spinning, its 0° stream sweeps side to side in a 15° wedge, so it slices through hard and compact soils fast while undermining less than a traditional rotating nozzle.

Why Operators Run the Machete

• Oscillating 0° stream forms a 15° wedge of cutting flow
• Built for hard and compact soils
• Less undermining than rotating nozzles, for cleaner, more controlled holes
• Stainless steel body with a tungsten carbide wear surface
• Replaceable, non-conductive nylon housing
• Rebuildable with Machete rebuild kits

Hydra-Flex Machete Linear Oscillating Nozzle FAQ

What does linear oscillating mean on the Machete?

The 0° stream sweeps back and forth across a 15° wedge instead of spinning in a cone, so it cuts a slot rather than a round hole.

What keeps debris out of the Machete?

A replaceable 1/2" dome screen at the inlet. Screens come in 10 packs, and rebuild kits are sold by nozzle size.
