1/4 Steel Siphon Blaster Nozzle Kit (Medium)

Steel nozzles resist impact damage from drops and rough handling better than ceramic. Ceramic lasts longer under abrasive media wear but cracks under physical impact. Choose steel when nozzle breakage from accidental drops or rough handling is a concern in your cabinet blasting environment.

Steel wears faster than ceramic under abrasive media. Three nozzles offset the shorter service life per nozzle, providing more replacement cycles before reordering compared to a 2-nozzle ceramic kit. This keeps the steel kit cost-effective for shops that choose steel for impact resistance.

The kit includes 3 steel 1/4″ nozzles, 1 air jet, 1 air jet washer, and 1 wrench. The air jet is matched to the 1/4″ bore for correct clearance. Replace the air jet with the nozzle - worn jets reduce siphon media draw and produce the same output symptoms as a worn nozzle.

The steel kit has 3 nozzles and higher cost. Steel resists impact but wears faster under media. Ceramic lasts longer under media wear but chips on impact. Choose steel for rough-handling environments. Choose ceramic for maximum service life under abrasive media contact in the ALC siphon cabinet.

Replace the steel nozzle when blast output drops without a pressure change, when the bore shows visible widening, or when media draw becomes inconsistent. Steel nozzles wear faster than ceramic at the same bore - inspect more frequently, particularly when blasting aluminum oxide or steel grit media.
