The Elcometer C-Type Pneumatic Remote Control Handle, part number RCHC-B, is a deadman's handle for operating an abrasive blasting system remotely from the nozzle end of the hose. The Elcometer C-Type Pneumatic Remote Control Handle is used with a twinline remote control hose attached to a remote control valve, giving the operator control of the blast at the point of work.

The reason a deadman's handle matters is safety: blasting must stop the instant the operator lets go. The C-Type Pneumatic Remote Control Handle is a flip-over design that prevents accidental switch-on, so the system cannot be started unless the handle is deliberately operated. This guards against an uncontrolled blast stream during pauses or if the C-Type Pneumatic Remote Control Handle is dropped.

The Elcometer C-Type Pneumatic Remote Control Handle is supplied with a BSP thread. Replacement rubber stop buttons are available as spare parts for the Elcometer C-Type Pneumatic Remote Control Handle under part numbers MT28515-5 (pack of five) and MT28515-25 (pack of 25), so worn buttons can be renewed without replacing the handle. The C-Type Pneumatic Remote Control Handle is used in surface preparation and abrasive blasting work across coatings, corrosion control and industrial maintenance.

The Elcometer C-Type Pneumatic Remote Control Handle is supplied by BAMR, South Africa's authorised distributor.
