Sandblasting setup

[marsden]

As the the title say I'm wanting some advice I've got two petrol compressors and a blasting pot and a cheap mask what pipes do I need to link everything together please

 

[marsden]

What fittings do I need to connect everything up

Sorry but the info you have given is very vague hence no replies , CFM of compressors type of blasting pot etc would be helpful. There is plenty of info on the web of hose sizes to CFM most fittings will be BSP or BSPT

Apologies I'm not the best at explaining so I've got a sandblasting mask a compressor and a blasting pot what fittings do I need to connect up the mask

is the mask an air fed blasting helmet possible 2 comps 14cfm and a cheap pot with a 3mm blast jet

This is what I have

You would need a pressure reducing (flow control )valve, breathing air filter and a connection hose to the helmet. From those pics there is no way of determining that. Full system air pressure goesto the breathing air filter, then to the flow control valve (also called a climate control valve), followed by a flexi hose to the helmet. The climate control valve that we use here in Au is a Nova 2000 (or 3000) cold air tube or a hot air tube!

Thank you for taking the time to reply I'll look at getting these parts

we still need to know the CFM of each compressor, type of pressure pot. what gun? All of these things have a bearing if It will even work properly

 

[marsden]

SIP Airmate ISHP5.5/50 Industrial Petrol Belt-Driven Air Compressor
16 CFM I believe and the specs of the pot is
Inlet Size 1/4"BSP
20 Gallon
Work pressure 60-125psi & 6-25cfm
Sadly it doesn't say in the description what time of gun it has here is the link

Pardon our interruption...

your breathing is all 1/4 bsp you need a bit more 1/4 or 6mm flexi pipe than the blast hose, a male PCL to hose barb.
On the pot a filter for breathing (this is not any old filter it takes any oil out) a small regulator + the bits to connect which are mostly male to male - sizes may vary. Mount it all on the pot, 1 PCL quick release with male 1/4bsp going into the breathing filter.
That should get you close to what you want.
Start with the grit valve on the bottom of the pot closed and open till you get enough grit flow to work. Turn the thing on and off at the air valve on the top of the pot or you end up forever messing with the grit.

that pot will have a 3.0mm blast jet fitted even using a 28cfm comp .the both will soon use that up and drop in pressure. i can run the pot with 3,0mm jet nicely at 90 psi without the airfed helmet
