APW Nozzle Body for Waterjet Cutting Head Servicing
The APW Nozzle Body is a replacement component used in compatible APW waterjet cutting head assemblies. It provides a machined housing with connection features that must match the original equipment configuration.
The product photographs show a metal body with a hexagonal section, an external threaded end, and a side threaded opening. Additional product views show similar bodies fitted with connector hardware.
These visible differences make component identification particularly important. Buyers should confirm whether they require the nozzle body alone or a specific body-and-fitting configuration.
A suitable replacement must match the original installation dimensions, mating components, and cutting head model. Similar external appearances do not guarantee interchangeable parts.
Key Features of the APW Nozzle Body
01. APW Cutting Head Configuration
Designed as a replacement component for compatible APW-style cutting head arrangements. The original part reference and installation requirements must be verified before ordering.
02. Hexagonal Mounting Section
The metal housing features external hexagonal flats that provide a wrenching interface. Their dimensions and installation requirements should correspond to the original component.
03. Threaded Connection Interfaces
The illustrated body includes a male threaded connection and a side threaded opening. Correct thread dimensions and mating components are essential for replacement selection.
04. Multiple Illustrated Fitting Configurations
The product photographs show a standalone body and bodies displayed with additional connectors. Buyers should confirm the exact included components before placing an order.
Understanding APW Nozzle Body Connection Features
The connection arrangement is one of the most important considerations when identifying an APW nozzle body replacement.
External Threaded End
The external threaded connection must match the corresponding installation interface. Thread diameter, pitch, engagement length, and mating component requirements should be checked.
Side Threaded Opening
The body includes a lateral threaded opening. Its actual operating function, connection dimensions, and required fitting should be confirmed from the applicable cutting head specification.
Hexagonal Housing Section
The external flats provide a defined tool-engagement geometry. Buyers should compare the across-flats dimensions and surrounding clearances with the existing assembly.
Cylindrical Body Section
The cylindrical portion includes machined external surfaces and end features. Overall length, body diameter, and internal geometry may affect compatibility.
Correct fit depends on the complete part configuration rather than any individual dimension.
APW Nozzle Body vs. On/Off Valve Body
An APW nozzle body and an on/off valve body are distinct cutting head components.
The nozzle body provides the housing and connecting interfaces associated with the nozzle section of a compatible cutting head assembly.
The on/off valve body is associated with the valve mechanism used to control the high-pressure water supply.
APW's published spare parts catalog lists these as separate items, each with its own product reference.
Maintenance buyers should therefore identify the required component from the original parts list rather than treating a nozzle body and an on/off valve housing as interchangeable.
How to Identify the Correct APW Replacement Part
Before requesting a replacement nozzle body, the following information should be checked.
Step 1: Confirm the Cutting Head Model
Record the equipment manufacturer, cutting head series, and machine configuration.
Step 2: Check the Original Part Number
Use the original equipment parts list or existing part reference to identify the required component.
Step 3: Compare Connection Features
Verify the thread specifications, side opening arrangement, and housing connection details.
Step 4: Check the Overall Dimensions
Compare the component's total length, body diameter, across-flats size, and relevant mating dimensions.
Step 5: Confirm the Fitting Configuration
Specify whether the order requires the standalone nozzle body or additional connectors and retaining hardware.
Step 6: Review the Technical Requirements
Confirm material specifications, operating pressure requirements, and any applicable original equipment instructions.
Nozzle Body and Connector Supply Configurations
The product photographs show metal nozzle bodies presented with different levels of attached hardware.
This is important for purchasing because a product photograph may show parts that are not included in the standard quotation.
When preparing a replacement order, confirm the following:
- Nozzle body quantity
- Required connector or fitting type
- Thread specifications
- Retaining or coupling hardware
- Additional sealing components, if applicable
- Original component reference
- Required installation configuration
The final supply package should be specified clearly in the quotation and purchasing documents.

1. What is an APW nozzle body used for?
An APW nozzle body is a housing component used within compatible APW waterjet cutting head assemblies. It provides specified interfaces for nozzle-related components. Its exact configuration and function depend on the cutting head model.
2. Is the APW nozzle body the same as an on/off valve body?
No. APW's parts catalog identifies the nozzle body and on/off valve body as separate components. The nozzle body is associated with the nozzle section, while the on/off valve body forms part of the high-pressure flow control assembly. Their part numbers and replacement requirements differ.
3. Does this nozzle body correspond to APW part number 06S-02-07?
APW lists 06S-02-07 as a nozzle body in its published parts catalog. However, KAD's illustrated product has not been independently verified against that reference. Buyers should confirm the original part number, dimensions, and cutting head configuration before ordering.
4. Are the connectors and fittings shown in the photos included?
The product images show both a standalone nozzle body and bodies displayed with additional connection hardware. The exact supply configuration must be confirmed in the quotation. Photographs alone do not establish which components are included.
5. How can I confirm that the replacement nozzle body fits my APW cutting head?
Provide the original part number, equipment model, housing dimensions, external and side thread specifications, and clear photographs of the existing component. Technical drawings are also helpful when checking compatibility.
6. What should I provide for a bulk APW nozzle body quotation?
Please provide the required quantity, original component reference, APW cutting head model, preferred supply configuration, and any relevant drawings or measurements. KAD can use this information to discuss appropriate replacement supply options.
