Found this modification online and it works a lot better now. Cost approx. $25 at the Home Depot.

A - 1/2" MIP x 3/8" MIP
B - 1/2" ball valve
C - 1/2" x close nipple
D - 1/2" MIP x 1/2" barbed fitting
E - 1/2" galvanized Tee
F - 1/2" galvanized 45*
G - 1/2" MIP x 3/8" MIP
H - 3/8" brass coupling
Yet to use mine, good tip ^

I have a blast cabinet but it won't get used again until I get on the ball and add wheels to it so I can blast outside. Never again in the shop. Even with the vac running the stuff gets everywhere. really fine dust finds its way out.
