Suggested Good Nozzle Practice.

• Your new carbide lined nozzle is supplied with a nozzle washer. Place the supplied washer securely on threaded end of nozzle & up against end of abrasive blast hose in nozzle holder. When installed & maintained correctly the nozzle washer will help prevent wear at the nozzle entrance.

• Always inspect equipment & replace worn hose, nozzle holders, washers & nozzles.

• To maintain productivity always replace nozzle when inside bore has worn to one size larger than originally supplied.

• To avoid injury/harm when blast cleaning, always follow all statutory & other established safety rules covering blast cleaning operating procedures.
• Always wear approved protective clothing & use approved safety equipment when blast cleaning. Always use NIOSH approved supplied air respirators and protection when blast cleaning. For more info refer to the NIOSH web site: www.cdc.gov/niosh and OSHA web site: www.osha.gov

• To avoid injury/harm when blast cleaning, always follow all statutory & other established safety rules covering the selection & use of equipment & media.

• When cleaning nozzles do not bang them against anything as this may crack or fracture the carbide liner.

• Always check carbide lined nozzles before using for excessive wear, cracked or broken liners. Always replace nozzles when you see the liner has been damaged, cracked or otherwise compromised.

• Before screwing nozzle & holder together, clean threads of grit etc. Make sure you use/replace the washer.
