Guardair 74BH018Z Safety Flexible Extension Tube Blow Gun

Product Description

The GUARDAIR 74BH018Z is a pistol-grip safety air blow gun designed for directed airflow in industrial and shop environments. It features an 18-inch flexible extension tube that allows technicians to reach blind holes, recessed cavities, and tight clearances without repositioning the workpiece. The body and nozzle are constructed from aluminum, keeping weight low at 0.9 pounds. With a flow rate of 35 standard cubic feet per minute (SCFM) and a 1/4 NPT inlet, this blow gun connects directly to standard shop air lines. It meets OSHA compliance standards for safety air nozzles, making it appropriate for use in regulated work environments. Machinists, maintenance techs, and fabricators are the primary users.

This blow gun is suited for cleaning out blind holes and removing chips, dust, and debris from metal, wood, and plastic workpieces. The flexible extension tube bends to direct airflow precisely into confined spaces where a rigid nozzle would be impractical. The classic pistol-grip handle provides a secure, familiar hold during extended use. It is a common tool in machine shops, metal fabrication facilities, woodworking operations, and general maintenance settings where compressed air is already plumbed to the work area.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified maintenance technician or any trade professional working with compressed air systems. Before attaching or removing the blow gun, depressurize the air line and verify the supply valve is closed. Thread the 1/4 NPT inlet into the air supply fitting by hand first, then snug with a wrench — do not overtighten aluminum fittings. Verify the connection is leak-free before directing airflow toward a workpiece, and always follow applicable workplace safety regulations regarding compressed air use.
