PW'er to Jetter

I want to adventure into providing service for commercial/light industrial/institutional drain cleaning. I have experience in industrial drain cleaning but am not geared to jump right out and purchase hi end equipment to clean the 8"+ drains. Figured I'd start a little smaller.

Anyways my first of many questions is in regards to converting a Power Washer to a jetter. I have a hot water skid mounted power washer 3kpsi at 5.2gpm.(rated) I figure this can be converted and should handle up to 4" lines if I'm not mistaken. Just not sure how to go about converting and the type of material needed to convert. I want to convert properly not backyard rigging it. If you no what I mean. I was hoping with the amount of knowledge on these boards that I could get some decent and intelligent responses.

Thanks
Jim
 
What brand of pump do you have on the machine? I know General makes a special valve cap to jam one valve open, giving the flow a pulsation, which is better for drain cleaning. A length of sewer hose, a sewer nozzle, and a foot valve are all you really need. There are three types of sewer nozzles, one sprays out the back only, one sprays out the front and out the back, and one sprays out the back while rotating.
