FAQs
What size air compressor do I need?
While the gun fits standard lines, a high-CFM compressor is recommended to maintain the steady pressure needed for effective sandblasting.
Can I use any type of abrasive media?
The ceramic nozzles are designed for most common abrasives, but avoid using media with high moisture content as it will clog the gun.
How do I replace the ceramic nozzle?
Use the included hex key to loosen the housing, remove the old nozzle, ensure the rubber cushion is in place, and insert the new nozzle before retightening.
Is the gun body rust-proof?
The gun is constructed from durable iron, but it should be kept dry and stored in a moisture-free environment to prevent corrosion.
Why is the spray pattern uneven?
An uneven pattern is usually caused by a partially clogged nozzle or insufficient air pressure; inspect the nozzle tip for debris.
Does this kit include a media hopper?
The kit includes the sandblasting gun, nozzles, and fittings; check your specific packaging to see if a hopper or suction hose is included as part of your system.
Troubleshooting
Air leaking from the gun body
Check that the internal rubber sealing block is correctly seated and the connections are tightened with the provided hex key.
Inconsistent abrasive flow
Check the media hopper for clogs or moisture, and ensure you are using the correct nozzle size for your specific abrasive grit.
Trigger sticking
Clean the trigger mechanism of any abrasive dust buildup and apply a light machine oil if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
- Ensure your air compressor is turned off and disconnected.
- Secure the chosen ceramic nozzle into the gun head, ensuring the rubber cushioning is properly seated.
- Attach the air hose using the provided barb fitting, ensuring the rubber sealing block is in place to prevent pressure leaks.
- Use the included hex key to tighten all connection points before connecting to the air supply.
Maintenance
- Post-Use Cleaning: After each session, run a small amount of dry air through the gun to clear leftover abrasive dust from the internal passages.
- Nozzle Inspection: Regularly inspect ceramic tips for signs of uneven wear or cracking. If the aperture has expanded due to friction, replace the nozzle to maintain consistent pressure.
- Storage: Store in a dry, low-humidity environment to prevent internal oxidation of the iron components.
