If the Nozzle or Silencer is damaged, cease using the damaged product. Installing the Nozzle The SnakeBite XQ Nozzle is available in a range of standard nozzle sizes and includes a standard contractor inlet thread. Inspect the condition of the nozzle liner and jacket prior to installing it into the nozzle holder. - Page 8 INSTALLATION The nozzle is installed onto the blast hose by screwing the bell shaped inlet end of the of the nozzle into the nozzle holder. Make sure the nozzle washer is located as shown below. Continue to screw the nozzle into the nozzle holder until the nozzle reaches the end of the nozzle holder thread, then tighten the nozzle until it is hand tight.

Nozzle and Silencer Care: Take care to place down the SnakeBite XQ nozzle and silencer rather than dropping from height and to avoid impact with hard surfaces as this may damage the nozzle and silencer. - Page 12 2” bull hose coupled to an adequately sized compressor for the nozzle size used – see BlastOne catalogue for compressor sizing. The SnakeBite XQ has been designed to optimise abrasive blasting using GMA Australian Garnet. Use with alternative abrasive types may result in reduced performance outcomes compared to using GMA Australian Garnet.
- Page 13 OPERATION The optimum nozzle standoff distance will depend on the type of coating to be removed and is influenced by factors such as coating type and thickness, abrasive type being used, worksite access and required surface profile. When safe to do so, start blasting at a stand-off distance of 500-600mm (20-24 in).
