This SiAlON XL long venturi nozzle threads onto any standard 1-1/4″ NPSM nozzle holder.
This high-performance SiAlON XL nozzle with an Aluminum Jacket is made of a lightweight SiAlON material that offers service life and durability similar to tungsten carbide at only half the weight. In other words, SiAlON is perfect for long jobs. This XL nozzle features “standard” 1-1/4 inch threads. If you need 50mm Contractor thread however, we have that over HERE!
Why buy a SiAlON XL Long Venturi Nozzle?
- These nozzles accelerate your media over a longer distance (about 12 inches worth of nozzle!)
- Because the media achieves higher exit velocities, you can stand further away from the surface being blasted (helps with high walls or ceilings)
- By producing a larger blast pattern you increase your production rates. (AKA reduced abrasive and labor costs)
- SiAlON is half the weight but just as strong as Tungsten carbide
- These nozzles do not require any more CFM from your compressor
- Last but not least, a foot long nozzle looks cool!

Disclaimer:
It is recommended that nozzles with aluminum threads, like these, are not to be used with aluminum nozzle holders as they will become stuck or inseparable. Instead, try using our Nylon Nozzle Holders for 1-1/4″ Threads. SiAlON XL nozzles are not for use with steel grit. For steel grit, please consider one of our Boron nozzles. For more information about nozzle materials, check out our page on nozzle materials. This particular nozzle was created with the widest throat for maximum performance. Therefore, it does not need a nozzle washer. Just make sure it butts up to the hose in your coupling to make a seal.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is SiAlON?
A lightweight ceramic nozzle material with service life and durability similar to tungsten carbide at about half the weight. That makes the SiAlON XL long venturi nozzle easier on blasters over long jobs.
Why is the SiAlON XL long venturi nozzle 12″ long?
The extra length accelerates abrasive over a longer distance. Higher exit velocity lets you stand farther from the surface and produces a larger blast pattern, which means less abrasive and labor per square foot.
Can I use a SiAlON XL long venturi nozzle with steel grit?
No. For steel grit, use a boron carbide nozzle such as our Boron Long Venturi.
Which nozzle coupling should I use?
A nylon nozzle coupling. Aluminum threads can seize in aluminum nozzle holders and become inseparable.
Need a size or thread that isn’t listed?
