Choosing a Switchblade Quad Hydro Excavation Nozzle Size
The size is the pill in each of the four jets. Because flow is split four ways, size the pills to your pump's total flow and pressure. Spare Switchblade Nozzle Pills let you retune without a new nozzle.
Installing the Switchblade Quad Hydro Excavation Nozzle
Use stainless steel thread tape when installing pills.

Hydra-Flex Switchblade Quad Hydro Excavation Nozzle FAQ
Can I change the flow without buying a new Switchblade?
Yes. The tungsten carbide pills thread in and out, so you can swap to a different size for another pump or replace worn pills in the field. Seal them with stainless thread tape.
Ace, Deuce or Quad: what's the difference?
The number of jets. Ace runs one stream, Deuce two and Quad four from a wider body. More jets spread the same flow across a wider cut.
