The Ultra Clean Tech Corp cleaning projectile, designed with a precise 1.5748-inch ID, ensures optimal maintenance for various systems, including hydraulic and pneumatic lines, fuel lines, food and beverage lines, steam pipes, heat exchangers and condensers, and air conditioning and refrigeration systems.
The launcher unit is equipped with a locking faceplate that pivots away for effortless nozzle size changes. O-Ring seals offer reliable sealing, and the air inlet port comes with a quick disconnect coupling. The trigger mechanism enables easy firing of the projectile.
Nozzles are offered in four basic stylesmdash;hose & pipe, JIC, tube, and BSPmdash;to ensure compatibility with different fittings. Operating within a pressure range of 85 to 150 PSI, it is crucial that the projectile's OD is approximately 20% larger than the ID for cleaning diameters of 2 inches or less.

got a 1.57 inch inside diameter line im trying to clean, is the UC40 the right size projectile or am i off?

For a 1.57 inch I.D., the UC40 matches up with an I.D. spec of 1.5748 inches, so it’s in the right neighborhood for that size line. The sizing guidance for 2 inches I.D. and under is to run a projectile O.D. about 20 percent larger than the I.D., so the best fit depends on how the projectile size you’re using compares to your actual measured I.D.

how do i know what size projectile to get for my hoses? mine are 1.57 inch ID but i wasn't sure if this one's right or if i need to go bigger

For hose IDs at or under 2 inches, the projectile's outer diameter should run about 20% larger than the inner diameter you're cleaning. This UC40 is sized specifically for a 1.5748-inch ID, so it fits right in that range. If you were working with something over 2 inches, the rule shifts to about 10% larger. One thing worth knowing: if the projectile won't leave the nozzle, it's too big, and if it passes through without doing much, it's too small. Should one ever get stuck, shoot a discharge from the opposite end to push it back out.
