Three basic types are available: straight-bore, ven-turi and angle nozzles.<br \/>\n<strong>Straight-bore nozzles<\/strong> concentrate the grit pattern and are best for reaching deep recesses and spot blast-ing. Shorter models are best for close-up work; longer versions are used for distances over one foot.<br \/>\n<strong>Venturi nozzles<\/strong> accelerate grit to higher velocities for more impact while fanning out the pattern for uniform\u00a0and wide coverage. As a result, they perform work much faster and consume 20% less media on a typical job. Angle nozzles, which turn the blast stream around a corner, are applied on the interior of pipes, cylin-ders and other hard-to-reach surfaces.<br \/>\n<strong>All SuperBlast nozzles<\/strong> feature 1-1\/4\u201d, machined-brass or hard-anodized threads to prevent galling and assure a secure fit for added safety and durability. Nozzle jack-ets are available in urethane, aluminum or brass. Your choice of liner materials includes silicon carbide, boron carbide and Di-Carb\u2122 (high-grade tungsten carbide).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Our premium blast hose withstands abuse and is consistently sized for easier mating with hose couplings. We offer tank couplings for a secure fit with the media regulator. Our nozzle couplings, also available in quick-connect style, are threaded for\u00a0a square fit. Quick-snap couplings provide fast con-nect to primary hose or extensions. Our pressure tester gives an accurate reading at the nozzle. Wet-blast heads suppress dust by enveloping the blast spray with a fine water mist. The Sure-Flo pinch tube (bottom right) is highly durable and easy to replace in the field.<\/p>\n<p><\/p><\/div><div class=\"clearing\"><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2931","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/smelko.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2931","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/smelko.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/smelko.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/smelko.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/smelko.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2931"}],"version-history":[{"count":18,"href":"http:\/\/smelko.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2931\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3689,"href":"http:\/\/smelko.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2931\/revisions\/3689"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/smelko.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2931"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
