2.1.2
Urethane Twinline Control Tubing
2.1.2.1
Temporarily connect the blast hose to the quick
coupling at the bottom of the blast machine.
2.1.2.2
Separate approximately six-inches from one end
of the twinline tubing. Cut one side to the correct length
as shown in Figure 6 (remove approximately 2-3/4
")
.
This makes what becomes the "return" line, slightly
shorter than the "outbound" line.
2.1.2.3
Connect the urethane tubing to the control
handle elbows as explained in Figure 5. Tug on the
tubing to make sure it is secure.

2.1.2.4
Position the control handle on the side of the
blast hose where it is the most comfortable to operate
while holding the hose. Use nylon ties placed around
elbows on control handle to strap the handle to the blast
hose, as shown in Figure7. Pull the ties to secure, and
then clip the loose ends.

2.1.2.5
Working from the control handle back, band the
twinline tubing to the blast hose every 18 to 24 inches.
Make sure the tubing is straight with no twists, as the
lines must be traced. The last band should be just
behind the hose coupling that connects to the blast
machine.
2.1.2.6
Overlap the lead tubing (on the blast machine)
and the control tubing on the blast hose. Separate the
ends of both tubing.
2.1.2.7
Carefully trace the lines; leaving slack in both
sides of the tubing, cut the ends at different lengths as
shown in Figure 2. Make sure the outbound line (the
lower elbow on the inlet valve) connects to Port No. 1 on
the control handle, and the return line (upper elbow on
the inlet) connects to port NO. 2 on the control handle,
as shown in Figure 2.
Note: Offsetting the lengths of the tubing reduces the
possibility if switching lines when uncoupling and
coupling the hoses.
2.1.2.8
Use the tubing unions to connect the lead tubing
to the longer control tubing. Tug on the tubing to make
sure they are secure.
To release the tubing, push
the collar toward the fitting.
Release Collar
While holding the collar in,
pull tubing straight out
to remove it from the fitting.
To connect the tubing, push it into the
fitting until it bottoms out. Pull on the tubing
to make sure it is secure.
Use nylon ties placed around
elbows on control handle to
strap the handle to the blast
hose. Pull ties to secure
Front tie must be
placed under the
control handle lever
Urethane Twinline Tubing
Cut Tubing to "fit"
Control Handle
Separate about six inches of the twinline urethane tubing.
Measure the distance between the fittings and shorten one
side of the twinline accordingly.
