RE: Sandblasting Valves
I have no experience, but could mention that at one of Europes (at that time) largest steel foundries, a sandblasting holding booth for cleanblasting casted steel objects gave problems with very fast detoriation and excessive wear of the booths steel walls. Solution: walls clad /protected with rubber.
(Soft sealing NBR or EPDM clad valves if suitable? Pinching valve?)
RE: Sandblasting Valves
Thanks, I'm going to test with a pinch valve. I will tell you later about it.

Not introducing sand until you absolutely have to would also seem like a good idea...
My motto: Learn something new every day
Also: There's usually a good reason why everyone does it that way
