When to Use This Nozzle
0.5 in.
(12.7 mm)
•
A compressor smaller than 185
CFM (5.24 m^3/min) is available
•
Increased control over the nozzle
is desired
•
Working in a small area or tight
spaces where a lot of air flow is
not desirable
#3
Need increased nozzle pressures with a low
air flow
compressor (<70 CFM (1.98 m^3/min)
#4
General use nozzle for low air flow
consumption and detail work
#5
Largest pattern with 0.5 in. (12.7 mm)
blast hose
1.0 in.
(25.4 mm)
•
A 185 CFM (5.24 m^3/min)
compressor or larger is available
•
Large surfaces need to be
cleaned
•
100 feet (30 m) or 150 feet
(45 m) of blast hose needs to
be used.
#5
General application nozzle allowing increased
nozzle pressure with a 185 CFM
(5.24 m^3/min) compressor
#6
Blasting steel or concrete with an easy to
remove coating, or blasting wood using a
185 CFM (5.24 m^3/min) compressor
#7
Blasting large concrete, brick, or wood sur-
faces at low pressure with a 185 CFM
