Nozzle – Tungsten Carbide 45° Angle, 5/16" Bore, 1-1/4" Brass Thread, Single Outlet
Part Number: 501-872
Weight: 1.80 lbs
The 501-872 Tungsten Carbide 45° Angle Nozzle is engineered for precision abrasive blasting in hard-to-reach areas, allowing operators to access inside corners, behind flanges, structural recesses, and tight spaces that standard straight nozzles cannot effectively reach. Featuring a single 45-degree outlet, this nozzle delivers a focused, high-velocity blast stream for targeted cleaning and surface preparation.
Built with a rugged tungsten carbide liner, this angle nozzle offers exceptional wear life even when used with aggressive abrasives such as steel grit, slag, aluminum oxide, and garnet. The 5/16" bore provides a strong and concentrated blast ideal for weld prep, rust and scale removal, and confined-area detailing.
A 1-1/4" brass threaded connection ensures compatibility with common NPSM-style nozzle holders used across industrial blasting systems.
⚠️ WARNING: Brass-threaded nozzles should not be used with brass nozzle holders, as they may seize or become inseparable over time.
