An air supply nozzle for a fluid bed furnace comprises a tubular member attachable to a plate, forming the bottom of the furnace. The tubular member is upwardly closed by a lid and just below the same a number of air dispersing openings are provided. A wear-resisting ring of hard metal is attached to the upper end of the tubular member and has a thickness and a height noticeably exceeding the wall thickness of the tubular member. The void within the ring is filled with refractory concrete so a dome projecting above the ring is formed. The tubular member includes a un-perforated portion, which has such an extension that the tubular member, after a hard wear, may be cut, a lower stub of the tubular member remaining at the plate, while the top is substituted by a new portion. The two portions of the reconditioned tubular member are then connected by an internal supporting sleeve and tack welding.
