5/16" ALC Ceramic Siphon Blaster Nozzle (Large)

The 5/16″ Large bore delivers maximum throughput for siphon cabinet work: automotive panels, larger metal components, and production volumes where the 1/4″ Medium is too slow. At 20 CFM, it provides the highest coverage per pass in the ALC individual siphon nozzle range.

Replace the nozzle alone when the bore shows wear but the air jet is undamaged. If the air jet orifice has also widened or media draw has dropped, replace both from a matched kit. Fitting a new 5/16″ nozzle with a worn air jet will not fully restore media draw or blast output at this bore size.

Ceramic outlasts steel under abrasive media wear at the 5/16″ bore. At 20 CFM throughput, the nozzle handles significant media volume per hour - ceramic resists that wear better than steel. Choose steel if the nozzle is regularly exposed to drop or impact damage in your cabinet environment.

The 1/4″ Medium draws 15 CFM for general siphon cabinet work. The 5/16″ Large draws 20 CFM for maximum throughput on larger parts. Choose 5/16″ when coverage speed on larger parts is the priority and your compressor sustains 20 CFM at 80 PSI continuously without pressure cycling.

The ALC 5/16″ siphon nozzle pairs with the 5/32″ ALC siphon air jet. The 5/32″ jet and 5/16″ nozzle are matched for correct clearance to drive media vacuum through the siphon assembly. Using a non-matching air jet reduces media draw even if the nozzle is new and undamaged.
