6mm nozzle

Hi, can anyone point me in the right direction for a 6mm tungsten carbide nozzle, for the right money?
Also whats the diff between a straight and venturi nozzle?

a venturi nozzle is more eficient than the strait ones. they use less air and have a higher velocity and theres a wider spread of media. a decent carbide 6.0mm nozzle will cost about £75.oo ish. theres tungsten carbide and boron carbide boron carbide lasts 3 times longer than tungsten but for home use tungsten will last years

Holy sh1t, this things massive! Where am i going to find fittings for this??

its suposed to thread in to a nylon sleeve. then the half inch bore blast hose slides in and held with 3 screws. dont bother with the pittly tap and jet on the end. run the pot of the main shut off valve . centurywise sell the holders there about a tenner but u will need blast hose to match it
