1/4 ALC Ceramic Siphon Blaster Nozzle (Medium)

The 1/4″ Medium bore handles the widest range of siphon cabinet work: auto parts, brackets, and small structural components. At 15 CFM it covers more than 13/64″ Small without the higher demand of the 5/16″ Large. Most ALC siphon cabinet operators use the 1/4″ as their standard nozzle size.

Replace the nozzle alone when the bore shows wear but the air jet is undamaged. If the air jet also shows wear or media draw has dropped, replace both from a matched kit. Installing a new 1/4″ nozzle alongside a worn air jet does not fully restore siphon media draw or blast performance.

Ceramic outlasts steel under abrasive media wear at the 1/4″ bore. Choose ceramic when maximizing nozzle service life is the priority. Choose steel if the nozzle is exposed to drops or rough handling where ceramic would chip. Ceramic is the standard choice for production siphon cabinet use.

The 1/4″ Medium draws 15 CFM at 80 PSI for general cabinet work. The 5/16″ Large draws 20 CFM at 80 PSI for maximum throughput. Choose 1/4″ for versatile everyday cabinet use. Choose 5/16″ when coverage speed is the priority and your compressor sustains the higher output.

The ALC 1/4″ siphon nozzle pairs with the 1/8″ ALC siphon air jet. The air jet creates the vacuum that draws media through the siphon assembly. The 1/8″ jet and 1/4″ nozzle are matched for correct clearance. Using a non-matching air jet reduces media draw even if the nozzle is new.
