Guardair
Guardair 80 Air Gun 1/4 in FNPT Alum Gray
Pistol-grip air gun with 1 1/2 inch aluminum nozzle delivers focused airflow at 93 dB while meeting OSHA pressure requirements
- OSHA-compliant pressure for safe operation
- Whisper Jet design reduces noise to 93 dB
- Conical tip prevents nozzle blockage during use
- 1 lbf output thrust delivers superior cleaning power
- Aluminum body with 1/4 in FNPT inlet for durability
Purpose-built air tool
The Guardair 80 air gun is a pistol-grip blow gun designed for industrial cleaning and drying tasks. Its 1/4 inch female NPT inlet connects directly to standard shop air lines. The aluminum body and single included nozzle suit technicians who need a durable, focused air stream for bench work or machinery maintenance.
Quiet compliant operation
Sound output is rated at 93 dB during use, meeting OSHA pressure-compliance requirements for occupational noise exposure. The Whisper Jet conical tip reduces turbulence while preventing blockage, delivering 1 lbf of thrust without excessive air consumption. Aluminum construction dissipates heat naturally during extended blowing cycles.
Ready-to-mount configuration
One straight aluminum nozzle with a 1 1/2 inch length and conical tip ships in the box, eliminating the need for separate tip purchases. The focused airflow pattern improves debris removal precision on work surfaces. No additional fittings or software are required; the tool operates immediately when connected to a regulated compressed-air supply.

Questions about this item
How do I install the Guardair 80 air gun onto my 1/4 in NPT air line without creating leaks?
Wrap PTFE tape clockwise on the male threads, then thread the gun's 1/4 in FNPT inlet onto the hose fitting by hand before tightening with a wrench; the step most people skip is cleaning both thread faces first so debris cannot prevent a full seal.
Which parts of the Guardair 80 air gun will need replacement after extended use in a shop environment?
The aluminum conical nozzle tip and internal O-ring seals are the primary wear items; inspect the tip for erosion that reduces the 1 lbf thrust and listen for air bypass around the trigger valve as signs replacement is due.
At what point does the Guardair 80 air gun hit its practical limit during continuous blowing tasks?
The 93 dB sound level is the first constraint operators notice; sustained use at that volume requires hearing protection, and the fixed 1 lbf thrust cannot be increased regardless of supply pressure because the nozzle geometry caps output.
