Abrasive Blaster Safety Switches
![]() |
Add these switches to your abrasive blasting hose to prevent it from spraying if the operator loses control. Also known as deadman switches, they prevent injuries and reduce wasted material by springing back to the off position when the operator lets go. All are for use with blasting systems that allow remote control blasting. Attach to your hose with hose clamps.
Electric
![]() |
Handle Actuator |
These switches send an electric signal to the control panel on the blaster to stop the spray. Because the signal is electric, these switches respond quickly even when your hose is long. They're recommended for hose that's over 100-ft. long and required by OSHA standards for hose that's over 200-ft. long.
Handle Actuator—Switches with handle actuators have a large surface area, so you still have leverage when squeezing the switch in your palm, even when wearing bulky gloves.

Handle Actuator |
These switches send an air signal to the inlet and outlet valves on the blaster to stop the spray. Because the signal can be delayed for longer hose lengths, these switches are not recommended for hose that's over 100-ft. long. They have a long, handle actuator that you can squeeze in your palm, even when wearing bulky gloves.
