Product Name: Adjustable Nozzle Body, P-III (Part No. 301099-1)

Description:
This component is the main body of a P-III series adjustable cutting head assembly for abrasive waterjet systems . The defining feature of this unit is the adjustable gland nut, which allows the operator to tighten the internal mixing chamber while keeping the abrasive feed line aimed in a fixed direction . This is crucial for maintaining optimal abrasive suction into the waterjet stream. The body is designed with a larger internal diameter (ID) than standard nozzles, which helps create a tighter, longer, and more cohesive cutting stream for better performance .

Applications:

• Serves as the primary structural housing for the P-III cutting head on abrasive waterjet systems.

• Supports and aligns the mixing tube, water orifice, and abrasive inlet.

• Ideal for industrial applications requiring robust, long-term cutting of materials such as steel, stone, and composites .

Features:

• Adjustable Gland Nut: Allows the mixing chamber to be tightened without twisting the abrasive feed line out of position .

• High-Velocity Design: The large internal bore (ID) produces a more cohesive, higher-velocity stream .

• Modular Configuration: Can be converted between abrasive and pure water cutting by swapping the retaining nut and orifice .

• Precision Machining: Constructed from corrosion-resistant stainless steel for durability under high pressure.

Maintenance:

• Component Compatibility: Key wear parts for this body include the Gland Nut (P/N 100027-3) and various sapphire or diamond orifices .

• Alignment Check: Always verify the abrasive inlet port remains accessible (typically on the left side of the head) after adjusting the gland nut.

• Leak Prevention: When reassembling, ensure all mating surfaces (cone seats) are clean, and apply high-pressure thread lubricant to the adjusting nut to prevent galling.

• Jet Quality: If the waterjet becomes scattered or loses cutting power, inspect the mixing tube (sand tube) and the jewel orifice for wear or blockage .

• Safety: Always fully depressurize the waterjet system and follow lockout/tagout procedures before disassembling the cutting head.
