Engineering Overview & Construction
The WG 288 Warthog® Centralizer™ is specifically engineered for 16.5″ to 22″ (420mm - 560mm) internal diameter pipes containing elbows and directional changes. It positions the nozzle squarely in the center of the pipeline for optimal 360-degree wall cleaning while preventing the tool from catching on joints.
- Pipe Size: 420 - 560 mm (16.5" - 22" ID)
- Compatibility: Warthog® WG-1 Classic™ and WGP-1™ Maximum Puller
- Construction: Heavy gauge stainless steel cage with skid runners
- Applications: Centering in large pipes with bends, offset joints, and vertical drops
Standard Design Features
- ✔ Controlled rotation speed maximizes jet dwell time on blockages for superior cutting penetration.
- ✔ Hardened stainless steel body with replaceable carbide/ceramic nozzle inserts.
- ✔ Internal viscous fluid governor prevents over-spinning and dramatically prolongs tool life.
- ✔ High-thrust rear propulsion jets provide self-propelling traction through long pipe runs.
WG 288 Warthog® Centralizer™ (For 16.5-22″ ID Pipes with Elbows)
The WG 288 Warthog® Centralizer™ centers the WG nozzle in 16.5″ to 22″ ID pipelines while smoothly navigating elbows and bends without jamming.
