The original Thompson Valve is a normally closed, self sealing, abrasive metering valve known for its instant, smooth response to either pneumatic or electric deadman controls. This fail-safe valve shuts off abrasive flow to the nozzle and seals the tank at the same instant. A remote abrasive cutoff is available, allowing the operator to stop the flow of media while continuing a constant flow of air. This provides a quick and easy way to clear the blast hose and blasting area of abrasive. Designed for superior operator safety, the Thompson Valve is ideal for multiple outlet use and is easily adaptable to most existing blasting systems.
Features • One knob precisely controls abrasive (all types) flow • Standard urethane sleeve for normal operation, or optional tungsten carbide sleeve for extended life • Design minimizes air turbulence in mixing chamber, providing even media flow • A short path helps ensure constant abrasive media flow • Orifice is sized for precise metering of abrasive • Rugged, non-corrosive body
