We get it. Struggling with a cheap import abrasive blast cabinet out of the box can be a nightmare. They clog. They spurt and sputter. Media flow is inconsistent. Blasting successfully more than a few seconds seems like a pipe dream. It’s frustrating. We’ve been there and we’ve felt your pain.
The good news is we have the solution to your blasting woes. It can all be fixed! Upgrading to one of our gravity assisted blast cabinet metering valves is a huge first step in saving your economy sandblast cabinet from the scrap pile.

Best Blast Cabinet Modification – Metering Valve
This may be the best upgrade modification you can make to your Harbor Freight or other blast cabinet! Simply mount mount our upgrade on the bottom of your blast cabinet and prepare to be amazed!
Our blast cabinet metering valve upgrade quickly and easily replaces the metal siphon tube in your blast cabinet and offers improved blasting performance.
Are you tired of surging, sputtering, poor flow and subpar blasting? Convert the terrible stock siphon tube to a gravity fed suction blast design with a blast cabinet metering valve and you’ll never look back.
Our gravity fed sandblasting valve design mounts to the bottom of your blast cabinet. It allows abrasive blast media to naturally flow down into the siphon system which works significantly better than the stock siphon tube. Making this upgrade offers:
- Dramatic improvements in media flow
- Less media waste
- Increased blasting efficiency
- The ability to blast with lower air pressure
- Precise adjustment and control of the media/air blast mixture
- Reduced clogging
- Elimination of frustration due to surging, sputtering and inconsistent abrasive flow
This simple and affordable blast cabinet upgrade makes a world of difference. If we had to recommend only one modification this would be it. You won’t believe the improvement in blasting performance! Our happy customers routinely tell us their only regret is not doing this upgrade much sooner.
Whether you’re removing rust or paint, preparing surfaces for paint or etching glass, our upgrades will end your siphon pickup tube sandblasting frustrations. Our blast cabinet metering valve upgrades are compatible with a variety of blast medias such as: aluminum oxide, soda blast, glass bead and more. Our products are ideal for hobbyists, DIYers, automotive restorations, metal fabrication shops and much more. We’ve got several options to choose from to meet your needs and budget.
