Guardair 970003s Air Gun 1/4 in Fnpt Cast Zinc

Product Description

The GUARDAIR 970003s is a thumb-lever air gun designed for compressed-air blow-off tasks in industrial, mechanical, and shop environments. Built with a cast zinc body, it connects via a 1/4-inch female NPT inlet and delivers a focused air flow pattern suited for clearing chips, debris, and dust from workpieces and equipment. The gun ships with one brass nozzle tip featuring a straight, 3-inch venturi safety design that meets OSHA pressure compliance requirements. Output thrust is rated at 1 lbf, and the sound level is 104 dBA. Licensed HVAC techs, plumbers, electricians, and general shop technicians all rely on this type of air gun for routine maintenance and cleaning tasks.

This air gun is well suited for use at stationary shop benches, service bays, and field maintenance applications wherever a regulated compressed-air supply with a 1/4-inch NPT connection is available. The thumb-lever actuator allows single-handed operation, keeping the other hand free to position or hold parts. The OSHA-compliant safety tip limits dead-end pressure to reduce risk of air injection injury, making it appropriate for both professional shop floors and job-site use.

Key Features

• OSHA-compliant venturi safety nozzle tip reduces dead-end pressure hazard
• Cast zinc body provides durable, corrosion-resistant construction
• 1/4-inch female NPT air inlet fits standard shop-air quick-connect setups
• Brass straight nozzle tip, 3 inches in length, delivers focused airflow

• Ships with 1 nozzle included — ready to use out of the box

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-use compressed-air blow gun compatible with standard 1/4-inch female NPT compressed-air systems and fittings common in shop and field service environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by any trade professional with access to a compressed-air supply. Depressurize the air line before threading the gun onto the supply fitting to avoid injury. Use thread sealant tape on NPT connections and tighten by hand before applying a wrench — do not overtighten cast zinc fittings. Always wear eye protection when operating compressed-air blow guns, and verify downstream pressure is within the rated operating range of the tool.
