** Nozzles have traditionally been given numbers to denote their size. This number defines the bore size in sixteenths of an inch e.g. a Guyson G2 nozzle is 2 sixteenths or one eight of an inch. Bore sizes are also “rounded” to the nearest millimeter size but of course, this is not exact. The chart above indicates the “rounded”...
Locate the cabinet in the required position and orientation; always allow sufficient room around the units to fully open doors and to give access for operation and maintenance.
