Blast Hose Hose Selection Selection
Blast Blast Hose Selection
Make sure to use the correct type of blast control. An
electric or pneumatic blast control switch can be used
with hose lengths less than 150 ft (45 m). Blasting
with 150 ft (45 m) or more of blast hose requires the
use of an electric blast control switch.
Blasting on on Higher Higher Surfaces

NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE
When blasting on a surface higher than the
equipment, make sure that there is a length of
blast hose on the ground equal to 10-20% of the
height. The hose on the ground prevents unspent
abrasive in the hose from backing up into the
internal plumbing of the panel, which can cause
damage to the main air regulator when the blast
switch is disengaged.
For example: When blasting 50 feet (15 m) straight
up, use at least 10 feet (3 m) of blast hose on the
ground before the blast hose goes up to the blasting
height.
