Nozzles

Which nozzle do you need?

A nozzle is the tip on the gun. A standard rental includes one of your choice. You may need another when the same job has both delicate material and rough material.

Air comes from the compressor, dry ice from the blaster, and both travel through the hose to the gun. The nozzle is the last piece. If the compressor is diesel, the rental also needs an aftercooler air dryer.
