This fan nozzle threads onto any 50mm (2″) contractor-thread nozzle holder.
A Fan Nozzle is an excellent choice for medium cleaning and stripping where an even dispersion of the abrasive throughout a wide uniform blast pattern is required. This is achieved by having a rectangular orifice. This eliminates the hot spot you find in most other nozzles. These nozzles only come with a 3/8″ orifice opening but are acceptable for use with most types of abrasives. You most commonly find this nozzle used with corn cob. Kennametal designs these nozzles to be optimal with 1″ ID blast hose.
