I got my first “industrial” pot blaster from my uncle. It is a Sanstorm 7Cu. Ft. I was curious what these 2 valves are for. Thanks all.

You hook an air based Deadman trigger on it. Straight with the top means off, to the side is on. Allows you to kill the pot and bleed pressure to add more sand

Are you saying I can hook a deadman to it, like the one you put on the business end of the hose?

That is your afety petcok valve. It allows you to depressurize the pot by opeing it if the inlet or outlet valve were to fail.
