Gladiator HX1 Linear Spray Gun - Available for Pre-Order - Arrives May 2026

The Pinnacle of Engineering for the Hydro Excavation Industry

Combining Italian craftsmanship with rugged durability to tackle the most demanding soil conditions. Hydro excavation requires a delicate balance between aggressive cutting power and the preservation of underground utilities, and this gun is designed specifically to bridge that gap. By utilizing a linear "straight-through" flow design and premium materials, it ensures that operators can work efficiently without the pressure drop or hand fatigue often found in traditional 90-degree trigger wands. This spray gun is not just a tool but a precision instrument, manufactured to withstand the abrasive environments of construction sites while providing a consistent, powerful stream that simplifies the removal of debris, clay, and frozen ground.

The Sovereign Command of High-Pressure Fluidity

The Gladiator HX1 is a specialized solution for professionals who demand longevity and performance in hydrovac and jetting operations. Unlike traditional spray guns that feature complex internal bends—often leading to heat buildup and turbulent water flow—this linear gun features a straight-path internal manifold. This design allows the water jet to maintain its velocity and integrity through the tool, providing a concentrated force that slices through compacted earth with ease. Its construction from high-grade components ensures that it remains resistant to the mechanical stresses of high-volume flow, while the distinct Italian engineering provides a level of reliability that minimizes downtime on the job site.

Engineered Excellence: Beyond the Standard Blast

One of the primary advantages of the Gladiator HX1 is its focus on operator comfort and site safety. The inclusion of a Relaxed Trigger is a critical feature for hydro excavation, where technicians must maintain flow for extended shifts. This design significantly reduces the "trigger-finger" strain, allowing for a more natural grip and better control over the digging process. Furthermore, the Hi-Viz Orange safety housing integrated into the exterior makes the tool easy to spot on busy construction sites, reducing the risk of accidental damage from heavy machinery. This results in a more cohesive workflow that keeps the operator focused on the target, ultimately increasing the efficiency of the vacuum truck or jetting operation.

Precision Specs for Elite Performance

• Flow Rate Capacity: Engineered for high-volume tasks, this gun delivers up to 12 GPM.

• Pressure Rating: Built to handle intense workloads, this unit is rated to 4,500 PSI.

• Temperature Resistance: It can withstand extreme hot water applications up to 320°F, making it ideal for cutting through frozen ground or grease.

• 1/2" SS Inlet: Features a heavy-duty stainless steel inlet for maximum durability and corrosion resistance at the hose connection.

• 1/2" SS Outlet: The stainless steel outlet ensures a secure, wear-resistant interface for hydro excavation lances and nozzles.

• Hi-Viz Orange: The bright safety-orange body improves visibility and site safety in low-light or high-traffic areas.

• Relaxed Trigger: Specifically designed to require less holding force, drastically reducing hand fatigue during long hours of operation.

• Italian Made: Proudly manufactured in Italy, adhering to the highest global standards for high-pressure fluid technology.

Field-Ready Durability and Seamless Setup

Reliability is a core pillar of the Gladiator HX1 design, specifically because it is built for the rigors of commercial pressure washers and jetting systems. In the high-wear world of hydro excavation, the ability to rely on a spray gun that won't leak or seize provides a significant return on investment. The internal stainless steel components are precision-machined to ensure a perfect seal, extending the tool's life and preventing hazardous pressure spikes. Installation is straightforward due to the dual 1/2" SS ports, which allow for a secure, high-flow connection to industrial digging wands. Regular maintenance, such as checking the trigger assembly for debris and ensuring the stainless threads are clean, will ensure that the Gladiator HX1 continues to deliver peak performance in the harshest environments.
