304 Stainless Steel Material Waterjet Nozzle Guide Bushing

This 304 Stainless Steel Material Waterjet Nozzle Guide Bushing is small and round. It has a straight through-hole for the waterjet stream. The outer wall is smooth and with 2 grooves. Both ends are flat and square-cut, not tapered. The 304 stainless steel body gives it a silver-gray color and a slightly brushed finish. The wall thickness is even all around, so the nozzle sits straight. The overall length is short, usually under two inches. The outer diameter matches standard cutting head cavities. The inner diameter matches the nozzle outer size. No extra features like flanges or collars. Just a simple, solid ring that slides in and out easily.

How to Use

1.Turn off the switch

Before change the cutting head, shut down the waterjet and release water pressure completely

2. Remove the old bushing

Use pliers or a puller tool to take out the worn guide bushing from the cutting head.

3. Clean the cavity

Before using the 304 Stainless Steel Material Waterjet Nozzle Guide Bushing, wipe the inside hole with a clean rag first. Remove any grit, rust, or old sealant. The new bushing needs a clean, smooth surface to sit properly.

4. Insert the new bushing

Push the new 304 stainless steel guide bushing into the hole . If it fits not tight enough, tap it gently with a rubber mallet or a soft block. Do not hit it with a metal hammer.

5. Reinstall the nozzle

Put the nozzle back on. Tighten it by hand, then turn with a wrench. Do not over-tighten.

6. Test before full operation

Turn on the water. Check if leak around the bushing and nozzle. If no leaks, raise to normal pressure and run a short test cut.

7. Check wear regularly

Inspect the 304 Stainless Steel Waterjet Nozzle Guide Bushing every 100–200 operating hours. If you find any leaks or broken, change a new one again.
