Product Information
Full details
The SwitZer Siphon Feed Sand Blast Gun (SBG02) is designed for automotive enthusiasts, fabricators, and restoration experts who need an efficient way to remove rust, paint, and contaminants from metal surfaces.

FAQs
What size air compressor do I need?
While it depends on the nozzle size, a compressor capable of maintaining 60-100 PSI with a high SCFM rating is recommended for consistent performance.
Are the ceramic nozzles replaceable?
Yes, the kit includes four sizes, and they can be replaced if they crack or wear out from extended use.
Can I use this for sandblasting wood?
Yes, but use the smallest nozzle and lowest pressure settings to avoid damaging the wood grain.
Is the abrasive media included?
No, the abrasive media must be purchased separately based on the material you are stripping.
How often should I clean the tool?
You should clear the feed lines and check the nozzle for debris after every single use to prevent clogging.
Troubleshooting
Abrasive flow is intermittent or stops
Check the siphon hose for clogs, ensure the media is dry, and confirm the intake tube is not buried too deep in the media bucket.
Air is leaking from the trigger area
Check the O-ring seals within the trigger assembly and ensure the main valve spring is properly seated.
Pros and Cons
Pros

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the SBG02, attach your high-pressure air hose to the intake fitting and ensure all connections are airtight. Select the ceramic nozzle that matches your project needs and secure it firmly.
Maintenance Tips:
- Always clear the internal passage of the gun after each use to prevent abrasive buildup.
- Periodically inspect the ceramic nozzles for wear; replace them when the orifice becomes enlarged to maintain pressure consistency.
- Keep the air compressor tank drained of moisture to prevent rust from forming inside the gun components.
