Adjustable Air Jet Accessories
Stay Set Hose - For applications where frequent repositioning of standard force Air Nozzles or Jet is required, the Flexible Stay Set Hosesâ„¢ are ideal. Simply mount the hose in close proximity to the application and bend it to aim the airstream at the target. Since the hose has “memoryâ€, it will not creep or bend. It always keeps the aim until physically moved to the next position.
Swivel Fittings - make it easy to adjust the aim of the Air Nozzles and Jets. Correct placement of the blowing angle can help optimize performance, reduce noise levels and improve efficiency. Swivel Fittings permit a movement of 25 degrees from the center axis for a total movement of 50 degrees. Type 303 or 316 Stainless Steel.
Magnetic Bases - are suited to applications where frequent movement of the Air Nozzle or Jet is required. The powerful magnet permits horizontal or vertical mounting that will hold the blowing position of the Stay Set Hose. A shutoff valve is provided that can be used to vary the force and flow.

How EXAIR Air Jets Work |
|
 |
|
|
Air Jets utilize the Coanda effect (wall attachment of a high velocity fluid) to produce air motion in their surroundings. As illustrated above, a small amount of compressed air (black arrows) is throttled through an internal ring nozzle above sonic velocity. A vacuum is produced, pulling large volumes of surrounding, or “free†air, through the jet (blue arrows). Both the outlet and inlet can be ducted for remote positioning. If the end is blocked, flow simply reverses at well below OSHA dead end pressure requirements. |

Adjustable Air Jet Standards and Certifications
EXAIR Adjustable Air Jets comply with OSHA's Safety Requirements, the EU General Product Safety Directive (2001/95/EC) and meet the noise limitation requirements of the EU Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC). All sound level measurements are taken at 3 feet away.
