Innovative Design—That Makes Your Job Easier
One Valve Has You Covered - You don’t need to stockpile spares or a collection of valves for different media. The GritWizard is your go-to valve for all common media types
and applications—out-of-the-box without modifications.
Precision Abrasive Metering - The adjustment knob calibrated at 20 turns per inch ensures a precise media-air ratio. The numbered gauge makes it easy to return to your preferred set point.
Plunger with Air-Assisted Close - Plunger incorporates a patent-pending, 2-point seal with an air-and-spring assisted closure mechanism that ensures a tight seal after the plunger closes, reducing internal wear in the valve.
