Manual No. 22501, Rev. I 02/18
WARNING
Hose disconnection while under pressure can
cause serious injury or death. Use safety lock-
pins or safety wire to lock twist-on (claw-type)
couplings together and prevent accidental
separation while under pressure, and use
safety cables to prevent hose from whipping
should separation occur.
3.2.5
Attach the ends of the 50-foot twinline hose to
the unions previously connected to the 5-foot twinline
hose. Either side of the hose can be attached to either
fitting.
3.2.6
Check all fittings to make sure they are wrench-
tight. Leaks will cause the system to malfunction.
3.2.7
Make sure the choke valve is open; the valve is
open when the handle position is aligned with the piping,
as shown in Figure 10.
3.2.8
Close the abrasive metering valve. The FSV and
LPV (Lo-Pot valve) are closed when the handle is all the
way to either side of center; refer to Section 4.1. The
alternate MPV manual pinch-tube metering valve and
Quantum metering valves are closed when the metering
knob is turned fully clockwise. Manuals are provided with
alternate metering valves. NOTE: it is not necessary to
close the metering valve after the initial startup and
adjustment per Section 4.1.
Compressed-Air and Abrasive Consumption
Consumption rates are based on abrasives that weigh 100 pounds per cubic foot

For nozzle sizes 3/8" to 1/2", blast machines should be equipped with 1-1/4" or larger piping and inlet valve to prevent
pressure loss.
Air requirements were measured by a flowmeter under actual blasting conditions and are, therefore, lower than figures for
air alone, with no abrasive.
Horsepower requirements are based on 4.5 cfm per horsepower.
Figures are for reference only and may vary for different working conditions. Several variables, including metering valve
adjustments, can affect abrasive flow.
Figures show approximate compressed air and abrasive consumption when nozzles are new. Consumption will increase as
the nozzle wears.
