MAG-JET Pulsating/Jetting Valve

Product News Friday, May 26, 2006: Cat Pumps

CAT PUMPS introduces the new MAG-JET Valve for jetting. The MAG-JET uses a special SS magnetic valve and a super strong corrosion resistant magnet to hold one inlet valve open, creating a strong pulse-jetting action to power nozzles through the toughest clogs.

Simply push-in the MAG-Jet handle to activate the jetting action. When the MAG-JET holds the valve open, it reduces the pump flow by 1/3, causing the desired pulsations for effective jetting. A special detent allows the MAG-JET to be pushed-in to the correct position to permit the magnet to pull and hold the inlet valve open [jetting mode], then pulled-out to release the magnet and allow the inlet valve to seat [high pressure mode]. This patented concept of holding the valve open, permits the pumping chamber to see liquid at all times and eliminates exposure to extreme vacuum conditions. This means longer seal and pump life!

The MAG-JET conveniently mounts into the inlet valve plug making field-retro-fit easy on many CAT PUMPS models including the direct-drive 66DX, high-performance gearbox and larger truck and trailer mount pumps. MAG-JET works with performances ranging from 3-25 GPM, 1000-4000 PSI. The MAG-JET ets you switch from high pressure cleaning to jetting with ease.
