Piping size. The TLR-100 is the 1″ system with a 1″ NPT inlet valve, used on smaller Classic blast machines. The TLR-300 is the 1-1/4″ system with a 1-1/2″ NPT inlet valve for larger machines and bigger nozzles. Both are pneumatic pressure-release remote controls and work identically — press the RLX handle to pressurize and blast, release it to depressurize and stop.
Suffixes stack onto either model: D means a diaphragm outlet valve instead of the standard piston valve (recommended for fine-mesh or aggressive abrasives), and C adds the abrasive cutoff system (ACS). So a TLR-300DC is the 1-1/4″ system with diaphragm outlet valve and ACS.
For pneumatic TLR remote controls, we recommend switching to electric (electro-pneumatic) remote controls when the nozzle and control handle are farther than 100 feet from the blast machine. Over longer distances the pressure drop in the pneumatic control lines increases response time — the lag between releasing the handle and the machine actually shutting down — which prevents fast, safe operation.
Within 100 feet, the standard system (50-ft. twinline to the handle plus 5-ft. twinline at the machine, joined by unions) responds quickly: pressurization starts when the handle is pressed and depressurization occurs when it's released.
