This sand blaster was useless, Until I did this.

What happens here

The presenter begins by detaching the air hose from the front of the sandblaster by unscrewing it. Next, he removes the entire bottom valve assembly, which consists of a 3/8" ball valve attached to a small orifice, from the tank. He highlights that the small internal diameter of this original fitting is the main cause of the clogging issue.

Goal: Remove the restrictive factory fittings from the sandblaster to prepare for upgrades.

Tools and materials

  • Adjustable Wrench Unspecified — Loosening and tightening fittings
  • Original Air Hose Unspecified — Detached from the sandblaster

So, we're going to go ahead and teflon tape this up. I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to do the other side, too, cuz once it's on there, it's probably going to be a pain in the ass. So, hopefully I can get that to fit in there. It's getting tight already, which isn't a good sign. Probably cuz there shouldn't I'm going to get a pick and clean that all out. Those threads cleaned out. But let's see if it tightens up a little better. I just took a pick to them and took all the coal out of there cuz I I tried running coal through here already and it it just did not want to work at all. All right, so now let's throw our 1/2in ball valve on this end. All right, make sure you put the valve on the right way so when you turn it, it turns downward and not into the tank. I just made that mistake. I had to go back and fix it. So now we're going to go ahead and put on the close nipple, the half inch. We're going to go home. We're going to
