The nozzle assembly comprises one or more high pressure supply headers or bulkheads, a nozzle housing extending across the grooved face of the one or more bulkheads in a perpendicular direction to the direction of the bulkhead, the nozzle housing having a port connecting it to the bulkhead so that a stream of air goes through the nozzle housing and is applied to the web for drying. The nozzle assembly comprises sealing plates removably supported by the groove face of the bulkhead adjacent each of the nozzle housings to seal the area between the nozzle housings. A flange extends from each of the nozzle housings over the sealing plates as a means to seal the nozzle housings to the grooved face of the bulkhead. In addition, clamping means are provided adjacent the nozzle housing an on the bulkhead to urge the flange against the sealing plate, and the clamping means places the bulkhead, the nozzle housings and each of the sealing plates in a fluid tight relationship with each other. The clamping means may be provided on one or both sides of the bulkhead, and will generally comprise a clamping support and toggle clamp arrangement.
