Pistol-Grip Air Gun with Safety Tip
The Guardair air gun uses a pistol-grip handle and cast-aluminium body for industrial blow-off tasks. A single straight nozzle with an aluminium safety tip delivers a focused air pattern and extra thrust. The tool accepts a 3/8 inch female NPT inlet and meets OSHA pressure compliance. It is suited for maintenance crews who need a compact, rugged blow gun.
Sound Level and Air Consumption
Operation produces a measured 101 dB sound level, so hearing protection is advisable in enclosed areas. The focused airflow pattern concentrates force on the workpiece while the safety tip limits dead-end pressure. No compressor sizing or flow-rate data is supplied, so match the tool to your existing supply without assuming a specific consumption figure.
Build Integration and Limitations
The 3/8 inch female NPT inlet threads directly onto common shop hoses and quick-connect fittings. Aluminium construction resists corrosion in typical garage environments. Buyers who need multiple nozzle angles, variable flow control or a lower-noise alternative will not find those features on this model.

Questions about this item
How do I connect the 3/8 in female NPT inlet without stripping the threads?
Wrap the male fitting with PTFE tape, thread it in by hand until snug, then tighten one full turn with a wrench — overtightening cracks the cast-aluminium body.
Will the aluminium nozzle tip wear out and need replacement?
The single aluminium Xtra Thrust tip is integral to the 2 in straight nozzle; it is not sold separately, so the entire nozzle must be swapped if the tip erodes.
What limits continuous use first — heat, noise or air supply?
At 101 dB the sound level reaches the occupational exposure ceiling within minutes, making hearing protection the practical limit before the 3 lbf thrust or aluminium body temperature become factors.
