In the near future this page will be dedicated to tips and tricks we have gathered from the field.
This page will provide some basic ‘how to’ guides and advice that should help you be more productive
with your Micro-Blaster.
Situation: You have your own air tank, but the Micro-Blaster will not connect to the tank.
Solution:
AIR TANK CONVERSION FOR USE WITH THE MICRO-BLASTER IIX3 KIT
In order to use a 5, 7, or 10 gallon portable air tank as the air source for triggering the Micro-Blaster IIx3 System, you will first need to unthread the hose assembly from the valve block of your tank. In its place on the tank valve block, install a compatible quick connect fitting (description below). Be sure to use thread sealant or Teflon™ pipe tape on the 1/4" male pipe thread end of the quick connect fitting to prevent leakage from the charged tank at this connection. We recommend 2 complete wraps around the threads if using Teflon™ tape. Note: tightly wind tape in a clockwise direction around the fitting. (when viewed from the threaded end). If using pipe sealant use liberally but do not allow it to flow into the fitting as this may cause problems with the function of your system. With the tank filled with air and the valve on the tank open, test this connection with some soapy water to make certain you have sealed the threads completely. If bubbles appear you will need to tighten the connection until they no longer appear. Your new tank is now ready for use with your Micro-Blaster IIx3 System.
Always follow tank manufacturers warnings and do not over inflate the tank beyond their recommendations!
To use the hose assembly that you have just removed from the tank you will need to install a quick connect plug (description below) on the threaded end of the hose assembly. Use either Teflon tape or pipe sealant and thread this fitting onto the hose assembly, checking for leaks. This will allow you to fill tires etc. with your tank as well as trigger Micro-Blaster II single head systems by momentary attachment to the tire valve fitting on the end of the Micro-Blaster II hose assembly (single head system).
Parts Needed:
- 1/4" Industrial Interchange Quick Coupler w/ 1/4" male pipe thread
- 1/4" Industrial Interchange Quick Connect Plug w/ 1/4" female pipe thread
- Teflon™ pipe sealing tape or pipe sealant
