Guardair 74GLVB Low Volume Air Blow Gun 1/4 Npt

Product Description

The GUARDAIR 74GLVB is a low volume air blow gun designed for controlled compressed air delivery in industrial and shop environments. Built with a brass body and a 1/4 NPT inlet, it delivers up to 17 standard cubic feet per minute (SCFM) at a decibel rating of 80 dB, making it suitable for applications where noise and airflow volume must stay within safe and manageable limits. The maximum transmissible thrust is rated at 1 pound, keeping it in compliance with OSHA dead-end pressure guidelines for personnel safety. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general maintenance professionals commonly use this type of blow gun for clearing debris, drying components, and cooling parts during service work.

The 74GLVB is suited for use in commercial and industrial shops, maintenance facilities, and light manufacturing environments. Its low volume tip reduces the risk of injury and noise-related OSHA citations compared to standard open-pipe blow guns. The brass construction handles operating temperatures from -30 degrees F to 180 degrees F, making it reliable across a wide range of seasonal or indoor shop conditions. It threads directly onto standard 1/4 NPT compressed air supply lines and hose fittings without adapters in most typical shop setups.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct addition for standard compressed air systems equipped with 1/4 NPT supply connections in industrial, shop, or maintenance environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by maintenance technicians or qualified tradespeople familiar with compressed air systems. Depressurize the air line fully before threading on or removing the blow gun. Apply thread sealant tape to the 1/4 NPT male threads as appropriate per shop practice. Do not exceed the rated operating temperature or use the blow gun to direct air at personnel.
