What Is a Single Skin Spot Type Jet Nozzle? Specs and How to Specify One
A single skin spot type jet nozzle uses a fixed, simple-shell design to direct a concentrated jet of air at a specific spot, rather than a wide sweep. Specs, applications, and how to specify one.
A single skin spot type jet nozzle is a jet diffuser variant built with a fixed, single-shell nozzle construction, directing a concentrated stream of air at a specific target zone rather than sweeping across a wide area. Goodwind manufactures the Single Skin Spot Type Jet Nozzle (model GT-SSSJN) in extruded aluminum with a durable coating, using the same long-throw principle as its general jet diffuser range.

What "Single Skin" and "Spot Type" Mean
"Single skin" refers to the nozzle's construction — a simple, fixed outer shell, as opposed to a double-skin design with a movable outer shroud for adjustable throw direction. "Spot type" describes the throw pattern: a fixed, concentrated jet aimed at one target zone, rather than a wider or adjustable spread. This makes it a simpler, more economical choice where the airflow target doesn't need to change after installation.
How to Specify a Single Skin Spot Type Jet Nozzle
For MEP Consultants at the Design Stage
Specify this nozzle type where the target zone for long-throw air is fixed and known at design stage, since the single-skin construction doesn't allow post-installation throw adjustment. Where the target zone may change over time or needs field adjustment, a double-skin adjustable type is the better fit.
For Contractors at Procurement Stage
Confirm mounting method and neck size against the drawing before ordering, and confirm the aim/target direction is correctly specified before installation, since the fixed throw can't be redirected afterward without physically repositioning the unit.
FAQ
What is a single skin spot type jet nozzle used for?
It's used for long-throw air distribution aimed at a fixed target zone in large spaces like stadiums, airports, and exhibition halls.
What does "single skin" mean?
It refers to a fixed, simple outer shell construction, as opposed to a double-skin design with an adjustable outer shroud.
Can the throw direction be adjusted after installation?
No, this is a fixed-throw design. For adjustable throw, a double-skin type is needed instead.
What material is it made from?
Extruded aluminum with a durable coating.
