SAFETY WARNINGS

SIGNAL WORDS: Note the use of signal words

DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION with the

safety messages. The appropriate signal word

for each has been selected using the following

guidelines:

DANGER: Indicates an imminently hazardous

situation, which if not avoided, will result in

death or serious injury. This signal word is to be

limited to the most extreme situations, typically

for machine components which, for functional

purposes, cannot be guarded.

WARNING: Indicates a potentially hazardous

situation, which if not avoided, could result in

death or serious injury, and includes hazards that

are exposed when guards are removed. It may

also be used to alert against unsafe practices and

indicate potential failure or damage to equipment.

CAUTION: Indicates a potentially hazardous

situation, which if not avoided, may result in minor

or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert

against unsafe practices.

Abrasive blasting exposes operators and

bystanders to hazards that can cause injury

or death. The operator of the SnakeBite XQ

Nozzle and Silencer must:

• always comply with local laws,

regulatory requirements and

codes of practice when using the

SnakeBite XQ Nozzle or Silencer.

• follow all blast system manufacturer

operational procedures relating to

blasting.

• carry out a risk assessment specic

to the use of the nozzle and silencer

and implement identied risk

control measures.

DANGER

SAFETY WARNINGS

Operator Complacency: the noise and

thrust generated by the SnakeBite XQ

Nozzle and Silencer when operated with

the silencer is signicantly lower than

other typical blasting nozzles. Operators

and bystanders should be aware of these

features and not stop observing the

required safe operation requirements when

this occurs.

Operators must read and understand fully

this operating manual prior to using the

SnakeBite XQ Nozzle and Silencer.

Operator Competence: Operators must

be trained and competent to undertake

abrasive blasting prior to using the

SnakeBite XQ Nozzle and Silencer.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):

Operators and bystanders are required

to wear appropriate PPE when blasting

operations are in progress.

WARNING

CAUTION

GENERAL INFORMATION

DESCRIPTION

The SnakeBite XQ Nozzle and Silencer

represents a step change in abrasive blasting

nozzle design and functionality. The unique

internal nozzle geometry of the SnakeBite XQ

Nozzle produces a more stable blast stream

than conventional nozzles. This results

in less blast stream turbulence, improved

stability, higher abrasive particle velocity for

an increased distance after the nozzle exit and

delivers increased abrasive particle energy at

the work surface.

The Silencer has been specically designed

to respond to the characteristics of the blast

stream produced by the SnakeBite XQ Nozzle

and is tuned to remove the typical high pitch

screech of the blast stream and reduce the

sound emitted by the blasting process.

The Silencer design incorporates a nozzle

thrust reduction feature that reduces the

force produced by the nozzle in the opposite

direction to the blast stream.

FEATURES

• Groundbreaking Nozzle internal geometry

that delivers up to 25% increase in surface

cleaning rates and operator productivity

without increased abrasive usage rates.

• Industry leading nozzle silencer delivering

up to 16dB noise reduction across a wide

range of operating pressures.

• Nozzle thrust reduction of up to 40%,

when operated with the silencer tted,

results in a signicant reduction in

operator fatigue over the shift.

• Silicon Nitride ceramic liner offering

excellent wear characteristics and life.

• Robust anodised aluminium nozzle jacket,

including a nozzle exit bump guard,

INSTALLATION

Installing the Nozzle

1. The SnakeBite XQ Nozzle is available in a

range of standard nozzle sizes and includes

a standard contractor inlet thread.

2. Inspect the condition of the nozzle liner and

jacket prior to installing it into the nozzle

holder. Make sure the nozzle liner is not

damaged or cracked or has pieces missing.

Check the nozzle is not excessively worn

by using a nozzle wear gauge – the nozzle

is excessively worn if the throat diameter

has worn to the diameter of the next larger

size nozzle. Inspect the nozzle jacket for

damage. If the nozzle liner is damaged or

excessively worn do not continue to use the

nozzle.

3. Ensure the system pressure is isolated

before installing the nozzle into the nozzle

holder.

4. Clean the threads on the nozzle and the

nozzle holder and make sure they are free

of any grit or debris.

protects the nozzle and liner from the

harsh blasting environment and improved

operator safety.

• Slimline ergonomic nozzle jacket design

providing improved grip and reduced

operator hand fatigue.

• Standard contractor nozzle inlet thread.

Installation - Always isolate the system

pressure prior to installing and removing

the nozzle or silencer and conducting

maintenance. If the Nozzle or Silencer is

damaged, cease using the damaged product.

WARNING

INSTALLATION

5. 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.

6. 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. Do not over-

tighten the nozzle in the nozzle holder or

use any tools to tighten the nozzle.

7. If the nozzle is to be used without the

silencer, the bump guard must be installed

and securely tted to the outlet end of the

nozzle. Hand tighten the bump guard in the

same way the nozzle is hand tightened.

Note: The bump guard thread is different to

the nozzle inlet thread to ensure the nozzle

cannot be installed backwards.

8. When the nozzle is installed into the nozzle

holder as per the instructions above,

check to make sure the connection is tight

and there is no movement between the

nozzle holder and the nozzle. Check that

the nozzle holder is rmly secured to the

blast hose.

9. The nozzle is removed in the reverse order

to the above sequence.

Note: Ensure the system pressure is

isolated prior to removing the nozzle.

INSTALLATION

Installing the Silencer

1. Inspect the condition of the silencer liner

and jacket prior to installing it onto the

nozzle. Make sure the silencer liner is

not damaged or cracked or has pieces

missing. Inspect the silencer liner wall

thickness at the exit of the silencer –

typically the silencing effect will reduce

if the silencer is excessively worn. The

silencer is excessively worn if the exit

diameter has worn per the following table:

Inspect the silencer jacket for damage.

If the silencer is damaged or excessively

worn do not continue to use the silencer.

2. Ensure the system pressure is isolated

before installing the silencer onto the

nozzle.

3. The nozzle has been designed to be used

with or without the silencer. If required,

remove the bump guard, and clean the

threads on the nozzle exit and the silencer

and make sure they are free of any grit or

debris.

4. The silencer is installed onto the nozzle by

screwing it onto the outlet end of the nozzle

as shown below.

Note: there is no silencer washer.

5. Continue to screw the silencer onto the

nozzle until the nozzle reaches the end of

the silencer thread, then tighten the nozzle

until it is hand tight. Do not over-tighten the

nozzle in the nozzle holder or use any tools

to tighten the nozzle.
