Replacement Probe Tips for the PJDX-C Pulse Jet De-Icer
Overview
A worn probe tip lets tubing snag inside the service line instead of feeding through to the frozen section. The Magikist de-icer probe tip is a self-feeding, self-centering pulse jet de-icer probe tip replacement that guides tubing smoothly through the pipe so heated water from the PJDX-C reaches the blockage. PJD45A fits 1/4" black tubing and PJD45B fits 5/16" red tubing.

Key Features
- Self-centering nose keeps the tubing centered in the pipe bore, reducing drag and preventing the tip from catching on joints or corrosion buildup inside the service line.
- Self-feeding shape glides forward through the pipe without catching on bends, joints, or rough spots, so the operator feeds tubing in with less resistance at the curb stop.
- Sold individually or in 6-packs so crews can stock spares on each truck for the thawing season.
PJD45A vs PJD45B Probe Tip: Which Size to Use
Magikist PJD45A PJD45B probe tips both fit the PJDX-C, but each threads onto a different tubing size.
The PJD45A fits 1/4" black de-icer tubing. The narrower tubing reaches through tighter spaces and smaller-diameter service lines where 5/16" tubing can't pass.
The PJD45B fits 5/16" red de-icer tubing. The wider bore moves more hot water per minute for faster thawing on standard service lines.
Choose based on which tubing is already spooled on your PJDX-C reel. If your operation runs both reel sizes, keep both Magikist PJD45A and PJD45B probe tips in stock. The tips thread onto 1/4" black de-icer tubing or 5/16" red de-icer tubing, both available from Cleanflow's Magikist lineup.

FAQs
What size probe tip for Magikist de-icer do I need?
PJD45A fits the 1/4" black tubing and PJD45B fits the 5/16" red tubing. Check the tubing color on your PJDX-C reel to confirm which size to order.
How do I know when and how to replace de-icer probe tips?
Replace a probe tip when the self-centering nose shows visible wear, cracking, or deformation. A damaged tip drags inside the pipe and slows tubing feed. The tip threads off the tubing end by hand and the new one threads in the same way. Inspect tips at the start of each thawing season and carry spares to reduce callout delays.
Are Magikist probe tips compatible with other de-icer brands?
No. PJD45A and PJD45B are genuine Magikist pipe thawing replacement parts sized specifically for Magikist de-icer tubing and the PJDX-C machine. They are not cross-compatible with other manufacturers' thawing equipment.
