It allows me to control the flow with a foot pedal instead of holding a dead man valve open. The pinch valve is a pneumatic shut off valve. I am on the lookout on CL for a cabinet that recycles the media. tank I can go for a long time before having to refill the tank. I empty it into a 5 gallon bucket and pour it back into the pressure tank. ![]() I don't have any kind of dump valve, just the spring loaded trap door that was in the cabinet. I had a large HF cabinet for a very short time then upgraded to a professional quality cabinet. The pinch valve was $68, and the rest was the cost of the fittings (not cheap) and the regulator. If anyone needs links or part numbers let me know. So much easier to handle now and my hand doesn't get tired at all even when doing a complete housing. Just used the nozzle end and put the hose barb fitting on it and put it on the end of my hose. I took the dead man apart and got rid of the handle and body. I used a foot pedal I got off Amazon to control the valve. I picked up a 3/8" NPT bulkhead fitting for the hose so I could go through the cabinet wall. On my cabinet I'm using the original hose that came with the HF blaster. It had a hose nipple on one end, so I milled that off and drilled and tapped it for 3/8" NPT so I could connect the valve directly to it. I have had pretty good luck with the HF regulators. Here is a pic of what I started with on the HF pressure tank.Īnd changed it to this adding a second HF regulator for the pinch valve. I have the pressure set at about 45 psi for glass beads so I won't shatter them when blasting. The pinch valve required a separate pressure regulator to adjust the air pressure to about 25 psi above the pressure I'm blasting with. So I ordered a pinch valve from Richway to add foot pedal control and do away with the dead man gun. I have been using a dead man gun and it's getting tiresome holding it open to blast transmission housings. I had a HF 110lb pressure blast unit on my old cabinet and just transferred it to the new one.
