Convert Your Old System

If you have a blaster that just isn’t what you want it to be or just doesn’t perform the way you think it should, then a Pirate Brand® conversion kit is the cost effective solution you are looking for. When you replace your current piping and valves with a conversion kit, you are in control.

Do you want a blaster that stays pressurized when you release the control handle so you can blast in short bursts with faster starts and stops? Try converting your blaster with one of our SPH (Pressure Hold) kits. Or maybe you want your blaster to
have a simple and easy to maintain set up. One of our SPR (Pressure Release) kits will do the trick.

Pirate Brand® Conversion Kits allow you to get the blasting system you want without replacing the whole blaster which is costly and unnecessary. Our conversion kits are engineered and tested to work with several OEMs including but not limited to Schmidt®, Empire, P&G and Clemco®*.

Rebuild Your System

Do you have a blaster that already uses our SPR (Pressure Release), SPH (Pressure Hold), or similar set up by another manufacturer but it is simply worn out? Pick up a conversion kit and replace those worn out parts.

A conversion kit rebuild is far cheaper than replacing the whole blaster and when you use our conversion kits, you get the added benefit of using our top-quality, reliable Pirate Brand® valves.

If you are doing a complete rebuild... remember Pirate Brand® carries
a complete line of replacement parts including pop-ups, hand-way gaskets and wheels.

Pirate Brand Valve Options

APVII™ Metering Valve
(Automatic Plunger Valve II)
The APVII™ is a premium automatic metering valve with several improvements over the standard design that makes it a long-wearing, low-maintenance and reliable valve. It features a tungsten carbide plunger and sleeve, quadruple plunger seal arrangement, a clean out port and many more premium features making the APVII™ a tough valve that is up to the job.

APV Metering Valve
(Automatic Plunger Valve)
The APV is our long-time standard automatic metering valve. It is available with a urethane sleeve or tungsten carbide sleeve depending on what will serve your needs best. It has been improved over the years with an anti-vibration disc which prevents unwanted turning of the adjustment knob and a filtered vent to prevent abrasive dust from entering the piston chamber.

MPV Metering Valve
(Manual Plunger Valve)
The MPV is our standard manual metering valve. Featuring a urethane sleeve and simple design, this tried and true design will perform reliably for you time and time again.

Combination Valve
(Dual Function Remotely Controlled Valve)
The Combination Valve is used on pressure release (SPR) systems and is a 2 in 1 design that will stop the air blasting and relieves the pressure from the vessel when the control handle is released. The combination valve is great for eliminating premature blow down failure that is common with other manufacturers. Another simple, but effective and reliable design.

AAV
(Automatic Air Valve)
The AAV is an automatic air shut-off valve used on pressure hold systems that controls the flow of air through the system based on input from a remote control device. In addition to the standard AAV line, we offer the AAV in a BIG GUNTM full flow version. This zero pressure drop version is a must when using #7 , #8, #10 & #12 nozzles.
