Product Overview
Maintaining optical clarity on explosion-protected cameras in harsh or contaminated environments demands purpose-built cleaning hardware. The AXIS TQ1924-E Washer Nozzle is a direct replacement accessory designed specifically for the AXIS XFQ1656 Explosion-Protected Camera, providing a controlled spray of cleaning fluid across the front window of the camera to remove dust, grime, and surface contamination. Constructed from stainless steel 316L, the nozzle is built to withstand the demanding conditions typically associated with hazardous area installations, including exposure to corrosive substances and industrial environments. It is a straightforward, single-purpose component that restores washer functionality when the original nozzle becomes blocked, corroded, or damaged. Backed by a 5-year Axis warranty, the TQ1924-E is the manufacturer-approved replacement to keep cleaning performance consistent on the XFQ1656 platform.
Key Capabilities
Purpose-Built for XFQ1656
Engineered as a direct replacement for the AXIS XFQ1656 Explosion-Protected Camera, ensuring the washer nozzle fits and functions exactly as the original component without modification or adaptor requirements.
Stainless Steel 316L Construction
316L stainless steel offers superior resistance to corrosion and chemical exposure compared to standard steel grades, making this nozzle suited to industrial and hazardous area environments where corrosive substances, moisture, and extreme conditions are common.
Front Window Cleaning Spray
The nozzle delivers cleaning fluid directly onto the front window of the AXIS XFQ1656, removing accumulated contamination that would otherwise degrade image quality in locations where manual lens cleaning is impractical or unsafe.
5-Year Axis Warranty
Covered by Axis Communications’ 5-year warranty, providing confidence in long-term serviceability for installations where maintenance access is restricted and component reliability is essential to continuous camera operation.
Best For
- Hazardous Area Installations: Sites using the AXIS XFQ1656 in classified explosive atmospheres where camera window contamination is an ongoing issue and manual cleaning is not always possible.
- Replacement Maintenance: Facilities needing a manufacturer-approved nozzle replacement when the original component on the XFQ1656 is blocked, corroded, or mechanically damaged.
- Corrosive or Industrial Environments: Oil and gas facilities, chemical plants, or marine-adjacent sites where 316L stainless steel construction provides the necessary resistance to environmental degradation.
Why Choose the AXIS TQ1924-E
The AXIS TQ1924-E is the only manufacturer-approved washer nozzle replacement for the AXIS XFQ1656 Explosion-Protected Camera. Using an aftermarket or incompatible nozzle on a camera installed in a hazardous area classification carries compliance and safety implications that this genuine Axis component avoids entirely. The 316L stainless steel construction is a deliberate material choice for environments where standard alloys would corrode prematurely, reducing the likelihood of blockage or structural failure at the nozzle. At a straightforward price point, this is a low-cost component that protects the investment in the considerably more expensive XFQ1656 platform by maintaining optical performance without requiring full camera removal or manual window cleaning. The TQ1924-E is available at Security Wholesalers as part of the Axis accessories range, supplied with the full 5-year Axis warranty for added serviceability confidence.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: This nozzle is specifically designed for the AXIS XFQ1656 and is not confirmed as compatible with other Axis explosion-protected or standard camera models. Before ordering, confirm that the camera requiring the replacement nozzle is the XFQ1656. If your site uses a different Axis explosion-protected camera model, verify the correct washer nozzle part number directly with Axis or your supplier before purchase.

Ideal Use Cases
Oil and Gas Facilities
Refineries and processing platforms using the AXIS XFQ1656 in classified zones benefit from the 316L stainless nozzle’s resistance to hydrocarbons and corrosive atmospheric conditions common at these sites.
Chemical Processing Plants
Environments with airborne chemical exposure accelerate corrosion on standard metal components. The 316L grade resists a broad range of chemical substances, making it appropriate for use in chemical manufacturing and storage facilities.
Routine Scheduled Maintenance
Facilities with preventive maintenance programmes can stock the TQ1924-E as a standard spare part, allowing nozzle replacement on a scheduled basis before blockage or failure affects camera window cleanliness.
Remote or Restricted-Access Sites
Locations where manual lens cleaning is unsafe or impractical, such as elevated structures or restricted atmospheric zones, rely on the washer nozzle function to maintain image clarity on the XFQ1656 without direct intervention.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You are maintaining or servicing an AXIS XFQ1656 Explosion-Protected Camera and need a genuine manufacturer-approved replacement washer nozzle in 316L stainless steel with full Axis warranty coverage.
- Choose a different model if: Your installation uses a different Axis camera model – this nozzle is confirmed compatible only with the AXIS XFQ1656, and an incorrect nozzle on an explosion-protected camera may affect compliance with hazardous area classifications.
FAQs
- What camera is the AXIS TQ1924-E washer nozzle compatible with?
The TQ1924-E is confirmed compatible with the AXIS XFQ1656 Explosion-Protected Camera. It is not confirmed as a universal washer nozzle for other Axis camera models. If you are unsure whether this nozzle suits your camera, check the camera’s accessory list on the Axis Communications website or contact your supplier before ordering.
- What does the washer nozzle actually do on the XFQ1656?
The nozzle directs a spray of cleaning fluid across the front window of the AXIS XFQ1656, removing dust, grime, or surface contamination that accumulates during camera operation. This is particularly useful in industrial and hazardous environments where manual window cleaning is impractical or cannot be performed safely without taking the camera offline.
- Why is 316L stainless steel used instead of standard stainless steel?
316L stainless steel has a lower carbon content and includes molybdenum, which significantly improves resistance to pitting and corrosion in environments exposed to chlorides, industrial chemicals, and marine or high-humidity conditions. Standard 304 stainless steel is more susceptible to these environments, making 316L the appropriate choice for the hazardous installations where the XFQ1656 is typically deployed.
- What warranty applies to the TQ1924-E?
The AXIS TQ1924-E is covered by Axis Communications’ standard 5-year warranty. This applies to the nozzle as a genuine Axis accessory component. For warranty claims or service questions, Security Wholesalers can assist with the process as an authorised Axis supplier.
- Can this nozzle be used in an explosion-protected or hazardous area classification?
The TQ1924-E is designed as an accessory for the AXIS XFQ1656, which is itself an explosion-protected camera. The nozzle’s 316L stainless steel construction is consistent with the material requirements of these environments. However, the specific hazardous area certifications applicable to the nozzle should be verified against your site’s classification requirements and local compliance standards before installation.
