The RIDGID KJ-1750 Water Jetter (Model 62697) is a compact, electric-powered jetter that restores flow in 1¼″–4″ drain lines. With 1,750 PSI of working pressure and dual pulse control, it blasts through grease, soap, and sludge while power-scrubbing pipe walls for lasting results.

Features & Benefits

• Pro cleaning power: 1,750 PSI at 1.4 GPM cuts through heavy buildup and restores full flow quickly.
• Dual Pulse Action: Two selectable pulse levels help the hose negotiate tight bends, traps, and transitions with less effort.
• Portable workflow: Pair with the optional H-30 Cart to roll the jetter and hose to the job; remove the unit in seconds for remote setups or storage.
• Easy to use: Water thrust pulls the hose down the line—just guide and reel; ideal for one-tech operation.
• Durable pump design: Duplex pump with a forged brass head resists corrosion; pressure control valve enables quick fine-tuning.
• Fewer leak points: Simplified fittings, hoses, and parts help minimize downtime and maintenance.
• Versatile add-ons: Optional power washer package for cleaning cables, tools, and equipment between jobs.
• Compliance: CSA approved; tested to UL standards (NRTLC) for electrical safety.

Detailed Description

The RIDGID KJ-1750 Water Jetter is engineered for everyday drain cleaning in residential, light commercial, and multi-unit settings where grease, soap, and sludge are frequent offenders. Its compact footprint and electric motor make it an excellent choice for indoor or tight mechanical rooms where ventilation for combustion engines is a concern.

At the heart of the KJ-1750 is a duplex pump with a forged brass head, chosen for strength and resistance to corrosion. The pump delivers a balanced 1.4 GPM at 1,750 PSI, an ideal combination for scouring buildup without damaging pipe walls. With two levels of Pulse, operators can increase vibration to help the hose work through P-traps, returns, and multiple 90° bends that commonly stall lesser jetters. Once the blockage is breached, pulling the hose back power-scrubs the line to wash debris away, reducing call-backs and improving long-term flow.

Mobility is central to the KJ-1750’s design. The optional H-30 Cart lets techs roll the jetter and a 110′ x ½″ jet hose across parking lots, hallways, or elevators with control. Need a smaller footprint? An optional adapter allows mounting to the compact H-10 Cart for service vans with limited space. In both cases, a quick-release design lets you remove the jetter in seconds to relocate the unit or stash it securely.

Electrical requirements are straightforward for the shop or job site: the 2.0 HP motor draws a max of 17 amps and requires a 115V / 20A circuit. A pressure control valve enables fast adjustment to match nozzle, hose length, and pipe condition, while the streamlined hydraulic path reduces fittings and potential leak points.

The key benefit is fast, thorough cleaning with simple operation. The RIDGID KJ-1750 Water Jetter gives teams reliable power, controllable pulse, and flexible transport options so they can clear drains safely and efficiently—without over-complicating the setup.
