Why OEM parts matter
- Correct fit and material specs for the equipment model you run.
- Consistent performance and longer wear life vs. offbrand substitutes.
- Ongoing design enhancements are carried out through official replacement parts.
If you're replacing a valve, handle, or nozzle, OEM keeps the system balanced and predictable.

Blast Valves & Metering
Precise media control drives throughput and finish quality. We stock Thompson® Valve II, Microvalve® (MV2/MV3) components and rebuild kits—plus seats, bases, nipples, and urethane linings.
- Common needs: Metering valve rebuild kits, TV cylinder and pins, seats/seals.
Remote Controls & Deadman Systems
Operator start/stop at the nozzle with RLX handles, TLR pneumatic systems, G2 Deadman Handles, Combo Valves, electric/pneumatic pressurehold, twinline hoses, abrasive traps, and exhaust mufflers.
- Common needs: RLX and G2 handle assemblies, TLR50/100/300 repair kits, Combo Valve repair kits, twinline hose replacements and fittings.
Blast Hoses, Couplings & Nozzle Holders
2ply and 4ply blast hose for different duty cycles, plus quick couplings and nozzle holders to keep connections safe and leakfree.
- Common needs: 1″ and 11/4″ ID hose (50 ft), aluminum, nylon, and brass quick couplings,nozzle holders, gasket sets.
Nozzles & Blast Guns
Choose ceramic for light duty; tungsten carbide for general abrasive use; boron carbide for the longest life with aggressive media. We carry MH2/MH3 and BNP gun assemblies, air jets, and inserts.
- Common needs: replacement nozzles (ceramic/tungsten/boron), MH2 long gun assemblies, air jet kits.
Cabinet Spares
Keep visibility, ergonomics, and sealing where they should be with gloves, window gaskets, door latches, lighting, and regulators for popular cabinet models.
- Common needs: glove pairs, window and door gaskets, latch kits, lighting assemblies.
Air Prep & Moisture Control
Dry air improves flow and finish. Add aftercoolers, moisture separators, and filters to reduce clogs, wasted media, and flash rust. Wet air is one of the most common trouble shooting issues in air blast.
- Common needs: moisture separators, aftercooler systems, inline filtration.
Selection Tips
- Metering valves: Match the valve family to the pot (e.g., TV2/MV2/MV3). If media flow is inconsistent, start with seals and urethane linings before swapping the body.
- Remote controls: If the system dumps air each stop/start, you're likely running pressure release (TLR, Combo). For continuous pressurization between cycles, choose pressure hold (PQV-Pro, Thompson 2).
- Hose & couplings: Use 4ply for longer runs and higher duty; 2ply fits lighter applications. Always replace gaskets when coupling new hose and cut square.
- Nozzle material: Ceramic (lowest cost), tungsten carbide (balanced life/cost), boron carbide (longest life with aggressive media like aluminum oxide or garnet).
- Cabinet spares: If visibility drops, check window protectors and lighting first; air leaks often trace back to door gaskets/latches.
Industries We Support
Aerospace and defense, oil & gas, medical devices, additive manufacturing (AM/3D metal printing), firearms, energy, fabrication and trailers, remanufacturing (engines/automotive), and AMPP contractors. If your finish spec calls for repeatable media control and traceable parts, we can help.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which nozzle should I run for aluminum oxide?
Tungsten carbide is a solid baseline; switch to boron carbide for extended life with aggressive media.
Do you carry rebuild kits for Thompson® and Microvalve®?
Yes. Kits and individual wear parts are in stock; see Blast Valves & Metering.
My system depressurizes every time I stop blasting—normal?
That's typical of pressure release remote controls (e.g., TLR). If you need pressure hold between cycles, look at Quantum electric/pneumatic options.
Can I pick up parts today?
Many branches carry common spares. Call your local SurfacePrep or use the quote form—we'll confirm stock and timing.
Will nonOEM parts save money?
Up front, sometimes; over the life of the equipment, OEM usually wins on fit, life, and downtime avoided.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. We support customers across North America and the UK; contact us for export arrangements elsewhere.
