All rights to this unique content are tied to the .cz domain.<\/span>The <strong>RetroArms CNC NBU nozzle<\/strong> is designed for <strong>NBU (New Bore Up) cylinder heads<\/strong> used in air systems with increased air volume. Unlike a standard nozzle, its design is adapted to the NBU cylinder head and uses a <strong>twice-enlarged O-ring<\/strong> to provide a proper seal on the cylinder head. Despite the larger seal, the nozzle is designed to <strong>move freely and smoothly along the cylinder head<\/strong>. The body is precision <strong>CNC-turned from EN AW 2007 free-machining aluminium alloy<\/strong>, and the sealing O-ring is factory-installed inside the nozzle. RetroArms offers NBU nozzles in several lengths ranging from <strong>19.6 to 22.5 mm and from 24.5 to 26 mm<\/strong>, allowing the correct length to be selected for a specific combination of gearbox, hop-up chamber and hop-up bucking. Correct nozzle length is essential for both BB feeding and air seal, so it should not be selected solely according to the gun platform. <strong>The O-ring must be lubricated before use<\/strong> to ensure smooth nozzle movement along the cylinder head without unnecessary resistance or excessive seal wear.<\/p>\n<h2>Key Features<\/h2>\n<div style=\"border: 1px solid #d9d9d9; border-radius: 8px; padding: 15px; background: #f8f8f8; margin-bottom: 10px;\">\n<h3>Designed for NBU Air Systems<\/h3>\n<p>The nozzle is specifically designed for <strong>NBU (New Bore Up) cylinder heads<\/strong> used in air systems with increased air volume.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"border: 1px solid #d9d9d9; border-radius: 8px; padding: 15px; background: #f8f8f8; margin-bottom: 10px;\">\n<h3>Enlarged Sealing O-Ring<\/h3>\n<p>Compared with the original design, the nozzle uses a <strong>twice-enlarged O-ring<\/strong> to provide a proper seal on the corresponding NBU cylinder head.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"border: 1px solid #d9d9d9; border-radius: 8px; padding: 15px; background: #f8f8f8; margin-bottom: 10px;\">\n<h3>CNC-Turned EN AW 2007 Aluminium Alloy<\/h3>\n<p>The nozzle body is <strong>precision CNC-turned from EN AW 2007 free-machining aluminium alloy<\/strong>, allowing accurate machining of this air system component.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"border: 1px solid #d9d9d9; border-radius: 8px; padding: 15px; background: #f8f8f8; margin-bottom: 10px;\">\n<h3>Multiple Lengths for Proper Build Matching<\/h3>\n<p>The available variants cover lengths of <strong>19.6\u201322.5 mm and 24.5\u201326 mm<\/strong>, allowing the nozzle to be selected for the specific gun configuration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"border: 1px solid #d9d9d9; border-radius: 8px; padding: 15px; background: #f8f8f8; margin-bottom: 10px;\">\n<h3>Factory-Installed O-Ring<\/h3>\n<p>The <strong>sealing O-ring is factory-installed inside the nozzle<\/strong>.

A corresponding standard nozzle must be used with a standard air system.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin-top: 15px; margin-bottom: 5px; font-size: 16px;\">How Do I Choose the Correct NBU Nozzle Length?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 15px 0;\">The length must be selected according to the <strong>specific combination of gearbox, hop-up chamber and hop-up bucking<\/strong>. A nozzle that is too short or too long can cause sealing or BB feeding issues, so the length should not be selected solely by gun type.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin-top: 15px; margin-bottom: 5px; font-size: 16px;\">Is the Sealing O-Ring Included With the Nozzle?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 15px 0;\">Yes. The <strong>O-ring is factory-installed inside the nozzle<\/strong>, so there is no need to purchase it separately before installation.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin-top: 15px; margin-bottom: 5px; font-size: 16px;\">Does the O-Ring Need to Be Lubricated Before Installation?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 15px 0;\">Yes. The manufacturer states that the <strong>O-ring must be lubricated before use<\/strong>. Proper lubrication reduces friction as the nozzle moves along the cylinder head and helps limit seal wear.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RetroArms CNC NBU Nozzle is a sealed air nozzle for NBU (New Bore Up) cylinder heads with increased air volume.
