Safety gear and equipment

Jetech places the utmost importance on safety in the field. We strongly advise our customers to consistently adhere to WJTA-IMCA standard safety practices. Our waterjetting pump units are designed with numerous integrated safety features. Additionally, we offer a comprehensive range of safety gear to ensure efficient and safe operations in the field.

Hose whip checks

Hose whip checks are restraints which should be used in every water blasting job. A whip check is attached everywhere a high-pressure blast hose connection exists, such as the discharge end of a pump or when two hoses are coupled together. Nylon and cable models are available.

WaterArmorCoverAlls

WaterArmor™ CoverAlls are a two-piece suit with full protection for water blasting over the entire front of the suit. The WaterArmor CoverAlls protects operators up to 40,000 psi (2800 bar). WaterArmor is tested with straight single nozzles which are far more dangerous than dual nozzle rotating units. We also test with 20,000 psi (1400 bar) high-flow hydrodemolition nozzles to ensure operator safety. The WaterArmor CoverAll product consists of three parts; the Bunker Pants, the Jacket, and the Neck Guard. The complete system is built around the same high performance WaterArmor protection found in the proven TurtleSkin® WaterArmor™ Now available in a rain-suit design making it easier and quicker to gear-on and gear-off.

TurtleSkin® WaterArmor

TurtleSkin® WaterArmor™ personal protective equipment (PPE) offers increased protection for water jet operators. TurtleSkin WaterArmor uses an innovative, patented fabric to provide protection from high-pressure water jet injuries. Created by Warwick Mills, TurtleSkin® is made from the tightest weave ever achieved in aramid, a fiber two times strongerand five times lighter than steel. TurtleSkin WaterArmor can protect ultra-high pressure water jet operators from pressures as high as 40,000 psi (2800 bar). WaterArmor’s modular component system is designed with multiple panels that can be replaced individually. Gaiters, suits, and gauntlets are each sold separately. Purchase the complete suit or only the pieces you need. TurtleSkin WaterArmor was not penetrated when tested at 40,000 psi (2800 bar) with a flow rate of 5gpm (19 lpm), with a nozzle standoff of 3 inches (7.6 cm), traveling 8 feet (2.4 meters) per second.
