This Empire DiCarb aluminum blast nozzle threads onto any standard 1-1/4″ nozzle holder.
1-1/4″ Aluminum Blast Nozzles by Empire Abrasive Equipment with Aluminum Jacket and Aluminum threads. Empire’s trademarked DiCarb™ Nozzles have Tungsten carbide Venturi liners which make their blast nozzles very durable. Venturi nozzle offers a 40% increase in production over a straight bore nozzles. 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 glass bead, aluminum oxide and other medium cutting medias this would be an ideal choice. Furthermore, Aluminum Sandblasting Nozzles, because of its unique properties, are very corrosion resistant and light weight. All Nozzles come with nozzle washers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose a tungsten carbide aluminum blast nozzle over ceramic?
Tungsten carbide is many times harder than ceramic, so it lasts far longer with abrasives like glass bead and aluminum oxide.
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 an aluminum blast nozzle?
Use a nylon or brass nozzle coupling.
Brass or aluminum DiCarb: which do I need?
The aluminum blast nozzle is a lighter, compact 3″ option for medium media at a lower price. Choose the DiCarb brass venturi blast nozzle for aggressive media and longer lengths.
Is a nozzle washer included?
Yes. Every nozzle comes with a nozzle washer.
