    Prevent unintentional changes to equipment settings—when not in use, these handles are disengaged and turn freely. To change the position, push down on the handle and turn. When you release the handle, it disengages once again. These handles are also known as clamping handles. Made of plastic, they all resist oil, grease, and solvents.

    Trigger Actuator Shown in Use

    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.

    Trigger 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.
    Toggle Switch Actuator—Mount on top of your hose and control the toggle with your thumb. They’re smaller and lighter than switches with handle and trigger actuators, but harder to use with bulky gloves.
    Handle Actuator—Mount these below your hose to grip the switch and hose together. The large surface area provides leverage when squeezing the switch in your palm, even when wearing bulky gloves.
    Trigger Actuator—Extra grip allows you to twist and maneuver the hose without straining your wrist. The trigger is simple to squeeze, even when wearing bulky gloves. To prevent accidents, an included secondary safety lock requires two motions to begin blasting.

    Send an air signal to the blaster’s inlet and outlet valves to stop the spray. These switches are easier to install and maintain than electrical switches. However, signal delay increases with hose length, so these switches are not recommended for hose over 100-ft. long.

    Shown in Use

    Reduce fatigue during long blasting sessions—these switches are built into a holder for your blaster hose. The holder has a brace that adjusts to shift most of the hose’s thrust away from your arms and grip, and repositions for comfort or different blasting angles. Switch easily between right- and left-hand use without having to take it apart. The housing has upper and lower rail mounts for optional accessories such as a side handle or flashlight (both sold separately). The mounts swivel around the clamp to keep accessories steady as the hose twists during blasting.
    Also known as deadman switches, these switches stop blasting if you lose control. They automatically spring back to the off position to prevent injuries and reduce wasted material. To avoid accidental activation, a secondary safety lock requires an additional motion to begin blasting.
