Abstract: A non-destructive media flow control valve (10) for regulating the consumption rate of non-destructive media in a coating removal environment wherein, the flow control valve (10) has a valve housing (20) having a longitudinal bore (21) the intermediate portion of which is enlarged to define a valve chamber (23) dimensioned to slidably receive a valve body (51) provided with a plurality of fluted grooves (54); wherein, the position of the fluted grooves relative to one end of the valve chamber (23) regulates the consumption rate of the non-destructive media flow (120) from a high pressure air hose (100) through the valve chamber (23) past the valve body (51) and the fluted grooves (54) and out a nozzle (40).
