This Empire DiCarb brass venturi blast nozzle threads onto any standard 1-1/4″ nozzle holder.
1-1/4″ Brass Venturi Blast Nozzles is a sandblasting nozzle by Empire Abrasive Equipment with Brass Jacket and brass threads. Empire’s trademarked DiCarb™ Nozzles have Tungsten carbide liners which make their blast nozzles very durable. In addition, tungsten carbide nozzles are many times harder than your traditional ceramic nozzles and better suited for the use of aggressive abrasives. If you are using abrasive media such as coal slag, steel shot, or other hard cutting medias this would be an ideal choice. Furthermore Brass Sandblasting Nozzles because of its unique properties are very corrosion resistant. All Nozzles come with nozzle washers.

Disclaimer:
Beware of using brass threaded nozzles with brass nozzle couplings as they may become fused and inseparable over time. Instead, consider using a Nylon Nozzle Coupling or Aluminum Nozzle Couplings. Be sure that the coupling that you choose to use, if not from us, butts up to the nozzle for a tight seal to the blast hose.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose a tungsten carbide brass venturi blast nozzle over ceramic?
Tungsten carbide is many times harder than ceramic, so it lasts far longer with aggressive abrasives like coal slag and steel shot.
Venturi or straight bore?
A venturi nozzle can increase production by about 40% over a straight bore nozzle.
Which nozzle coupling should I use with a brass venturi blast nozzle?
Use a nylon or aluminum nozzle coupling. Avoid brass couplings, since brass on brass can fuse over time.
Brass or aluminum DiCarb: which do I need?
Brass for aggressive media and longer lengths. The DiCarb aluminum blast nozzle is a lighter, compact 3″ option for medium media at a lower price.
Is a nozzle washer included?
Yes. Every nozzle comes with a nozzle washer.
