When replacing a standard nozzle with an extended

tapered nozzle, it is preferable to replace the conduit

liner and trim it to 30 mm (1.2 inch) trim length proud of

the conductor tube sleeve. This will support the electrode

wire and provide the optimum feeding solution. However,

some users may nd this inconvenient and want to keep

their standard trim 10 mm (3/8 inch) in place to allow

for multiple exchanges between a standard nozzle

verses a tapered. In this case, a brass sleeve or ‘snoot’

has been provided. Now you can replace a standard

nozzle without extending conduit liner to 1.2 inches by

the addition of a snoot placed over the conduit liner and

under the tip.
