Sand Blast Guns Nozzles and Parts

CompressorPros carries sand blast guns, nozzles, and replacement parts to keep your abrasive blasting setup running. This category serves shop owners, restoration techs, and fabricators replacing worn nozzles or rebuilding a blast gun assembly. Browse ceramic and tungsten carbide nozzles, gun assemblies, and cabinet consumables, all shipping free, direct from the manufacturer.

What Are Sand Blast Guns, Nozzles, and Parts?

A sand blast gun is the handpiece that directs abrasive media at the work surface, and the nozzle is the wear item at its tip that shapes the blast pattern and controls media flow. Because abrasive passes through the nozzle at high velocity, it is the fastest-wearing component in any blasting setup and the one shops replace most often. Restoration shops, fabricators, and maintenance departments source these to keep a cabinet or pressure pot in service without replacing the whole system. This category covers gun assemblies like the Part Number 222 Pressure Blast Gun Assembly along with the nozzles, controllers, and consumables that support them.

Ceramic vs. Tungsten Carbide Nozzles

The most practical decision in this category is nozzle material, because it determines how long the nozzle lasts and what it costs to run.

Ceramic nozzles are the economical option, well-suited to lighter-duty and intermittent blasting or to softer media. They cost less per unit but wear faster under sustained use. The Ceramic Nozzle Part Number 207 is a common replacement in this group.

Tungsten carbide nozzles resist abrasion far longer, making them a strong choice for production blasting, aggressive media, and shops running daily. The higher upfront cost is usually offset by extended service life and fewer interruptions to swap nozzles. The Tungsten Carbide Nozzle Part Number 207TC shares the same fitment as its ceramic counterpart, so it is often a direct upgrade.

A worn nozzle enlarges over time, which increases media and air consumption while reducing blast efficiency. Checking the orifice periodically and replacing on wear rather than on failure keeps the setup running at spec.

Types of Blast Guns, Nozzles, and Parts

Pressure Blast Guns

Pressure blast guns meter media from a pressurized pot and deliver a more aggressive, faster-cutting stream than siphon systems. They are the standard for production work and heavier surface preparation. The Part Number 7006TC Pressure Blast Gun is configured for foot pedal operation, which keeps both hands free for controlling the work.

Replacement Nozzles

Nozzles are sold by part number and matched to the gun body, so fitment is settled by the number rather than by general description. Both ceramic and tungsten carbide options are available in common sizes, and they are consumables that should be stocked ahead of need rather than sourced after a failure.

Nozzle Controllers and Assemblies

Controllers and elbow assemblies manage media and air delivery to the nozzle within cabinet systems. The ConX SC 70 Nozzle Controller and the ConX X881097S Elbow and Nozzle Assembly are examples, with some assemblies supplied together with the nylon tubing they require.

Cabinet Consumables and Wear Items

Blast cabinets carry their own wear items that fall into this category, including window shields and filters. Mylar shields protect the cabinet viewing window from etching, and the Cyclone Manufacturing Part Number 2054 Mylar Shields ship in a 12 pack for the E100. Filters such as the Cyclone Filter 2055 keep dust out of the cabinet's air path.

Maintenance and Rebuild Kits

Where a unit has a defined service interval, a maintenance kit bundles the wear parts that interval calls for. The Cyclone KT-100 Maintenance Kit covers the PT-100 pressure unit, simplifying a scheduled rebuild. Browse the wider Cyclone sand blaster line for equipment these parts support.

Key Specifications To Match

  • Part number: The controlling spec for nearly everything here. Guns, nozzles, and controllers are matched by number rather than by appearance or dimension.
  • Nozzle material: Ceramic for lighter or intermittent duty, tungsten carbide for production blasting and aggressive media.
  • Nozzle orifice size: Determines blast pattern, media consumption, and the CFM your compressor must supply. A larger orifice cuts faster but demands more air.
  • Gun type: Pressure and siphon systems use different guns and are not interchangeable.
  • Cabinet or unit model: Consumables like shields, filters, and kits are model-specific.
  • Air supply requirement: Blasting is a continuous-demand application. Confirm your compressor delivers enough CFM at the working pressure the nozzle requires.

Because nearly every item here is matched by part number to a specific unit, check against your existing component or the equipment manual before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I replace a sand blast nozzle?
Replace on wear rather than on failure, since the orifice gradually enlarges and quietly increases air and media consumption. Checking the bore periodically against a new nozzle is the simplest way to catch it.

Should I buy a ceramic or tungsten carbide nozzle?
Ceramic costs less and suits intermittent blasting or softer media, while tungsten carbide lasts considerably longer under daily production use. For most shops running regularly, carbide is the better value despite the higher upfront cost.

How much CFM do I need for sand blasting?
Blasting is one of the most air-hungry applications, and the requirement rises sharply with nozzle orifice size. Check the nozzle's stated air consumption at your working pressure, and see sand blasting air compressors if you are sizing a unit.

What is the most common mistake when buying blast gun parts?
Ordering by appearance rather than confirming the part number against the existing component. Nozzles and gun bodies that look similar can differ in thread, seat design, or orifice, so verify the number first.

Why is my blast pressure dropping?
A worn nozzle, a restricted filter, or insufficient compressor CFM are the usual causes. Start by checking the nozzle bore, since it is the most common and least expensive of the three to correct.

Can I use any media with my blast gun?
Media choice affects nozzle wear and cutting behavior, and aggressive abrasives shorten ceramic nozzle life noticeably. Match the media to your work and your nozzle material, and browse sand blast media for options.
