Exair Model 1003 3/8 FNPT Safety Air Nozzle
EXAIR’s Safety Air Nozzles eject a small amount of compressed air 360° around the outer ring that combines with the air ejected from the center hole to produce a high volume, high velocity blast of air. The slotted end allows air to vent safely and prevents blocking the outlet. EXAIR offers the Safety Air Nozzle in most popular pipe sizes for easy retrofit to existing blowoffs. Available in brass and Type 303 Stainless Steel.

Materials
Type 303 Stainless Steel – This is the most common grade of stainless steel. It offers good strength and is best suited to mildly corrosive environments. It can withstand temperatures up to 800°F (427°C).
Brass – general purpose applications. Max temp. 400°F (204°C).
Accessories
Swivel Fittings – make it easy to adjust the aim of the Air Nozzles and Jets. Correct placement of the blowing angle can help optimize performance, reduce noise levels and improve efficiency. Swivel Fittings permit a movement of 25 degrees from the center axis for a total movement of 50 degrees. Type 303 or 316 Stainless Steel.
Magnetic Bases – are suited to applications where frequent movement of the Air Nozzle or Jet is required. The powerful magnet permits horizontal or vertical mounting that will hold the blowing position of the Stay Set Hose. A shutoff valve is provided that can be used to vary the force and flow.

How EXAIR Air Nozzles Work |
|
|
Air Nozzles use the Coanda effect to amplify compressed airflow up to 25 times or more. Compressed air is ejected through a series of nozzles on the outer perimeter. As the air travels along the outer wall of the nozzle, surrounding air (blue arrows) is entrained into the stream. The airstream that results is a high volume, high velocity blast of air at minimal consumption. The air is always ejected so it can vent safely, well below OSHA dead end pressure requirements, should the nozzle end be blocked. |

Efficiency Lab
Does your company currently use a blowoff product similar to EXAIR’s that you’d like us to evaluate? Ship it to the EXAIR Efficiency Lab! Our qualified staff will test it for FREE, using EXAIR’s calibrated testing equipment. We’ll compare the performance of your existing product (air consumption, effectiveness, noise levels, efficiencies, etc) with the EXAIR Intelligent Compressed Air® products. The results will be published in a comprehensive report that includes a cost savings analysis. For most applications, EXAIR products can help you improve your efficiency AND typically pay for themselves in a matter of weeks.
To participate in our Efficiency Lab testing, please complete this Product Efficiency Survey to give us the details about your current application and blowoff set up. You can also feel free to contact an Application Engineer for more information at (800) 903-9247 or (513) 671-3322.
