What the Nozzle Locknut Does

The F113-013 locknut retains the ceramic nozzle in the blast gun assembly, helping maintain the nozzle in its proper operating position.

Because the nozzle connection is exposed to vibration, compressed air, and abrasive media, the retaining components should be inspected whenever the nozzle is serviced.

A worn, damaged, or improperly installed locknut can prevent the nozzle from being securely retained.

Common Reasons for Replacement:

• Damaged or worn threads
• Locknut is cracked or otherwise damaged
• Nut no longer securely retains the nozzle
• Lost during nozzle servicing
• Replacing or servicing the ceramic nozzle
• Rebuilding an older Universal / Uniblast blast gun
• Restoring an incomplete blast gun assembly

Inspect When Replacing the Ceramic Nozzle

Whenever the ceramic nozzle is removed, it's a good idea to inspect the components that secure and seal it.

Along with the F113-013 locknut, inspect the nozzle and nozzle washer for wear or damage before returning the gun to service.

A properly secured and sealed nozzle connection helps prevent abrasive leakage and unnecessary wear to surrounding blast-gun components.

Finding Parts for Older Universal / Uniblast Equipment

Universal Equipment Manufacturing and Uniblast Technologies blasting equipment has been used in industrial applications for many years, and individual blast-gun components can sometimes be difficult to identify.

Older parts information may identify this component by either the F113-013 part number or B54 designation, so we've included both references to make identification easier.

For this component, the key identification information is:

Universal / Uniblast F113-013 – B54 – Ceramic Nozzle Locknut

Important:

This listing is for the Universal Equipment Manufacturing / Uniblast Technologies F113-013 Ceramic Nozzle Locknut, cross-reference B54, including #7.

Ceramic nozzle, nozzle washer, air jet, and other blast-gun components are sold separately unless specifically stated otherwise.

Always verify the F113-013 part number and B54 reference before ordering.

Completely shut off and relieve compressed-air pressure before removing or servicing any blast gun, nozzle, air jet, hose, or related blasting component. Never operate a blast gun with a damaged or improperly secured nozzle connection.
