Value Collection 4013040513 Air Blow Gun Safety Nozzle

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4013040513 is a safety-nozzle air blow gun designed for controlled compressed-air blowdown tasks in shop, industrial, and light manufacturing environments. The gun uses a 1/4 NPT inlet thread and delivers up to 24.67 standard cubic feet per minute (SCFM) of airflow through a 4-inch steel safety nozzle. The body is constructed from nylon and fiberglass for lightweight durability. The safety nozzle tip is engineered to reduce backpressure risk at the nozzle face, meeting the design intent of OSHA 29 CFR 1910.242(b) dead-end pressure guidelines. Installation and daily use require no special tools beyond a proper air fitting for the 1/4 NPT inlet.

This blow gun is suited for general-purpose compressed-air blowdown in automotive shops, HVAC service vehicles, plumbing shops, and light industrial facilities. It is appropriate wherever a technician needs a handheld blowdown tool for clearing debris, drying parts, or purging small passages. The 4-inch tube length provides enough reach for most bench-level tasks without adding excessive weight or bulk. The nylon-fiberglass body keeps the overall package weight low at 0.34 pounds, making it practical for frequent handheld use throughout a workday.

Key Features

• Safety nozzle tip designed to limit dead-end pressure at the nozzle face per common OSHA blow-gun guidelines
• 1/4 NPT inlet thread fits standard shop-air quick-connect fittings and compressed-air hose ends
• 4-inch steel nozzle tube provides extended reach for blowdown tasks
• Nylon and fiberglass body construction offers lightweight handling at 0.34 pounds
• Rated airflow of 24.67 SCFM supports fast, effective debris clearing
• Decibel rating of 97.8 dB — hearing protection is recommended during use per standard shop-safety practice

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or addition for standard 1/4 NPT compressed-air blow-gun setups in shop and field service environments. No specific OEM system compatibility is stated for this part.

Installation Notes

A licensed or qualified technician or shop mechanic should verify the compressed-air supply is depressurized before connecting or disconnecting the blow gun from the air line. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the 1/4 NPT male inlet threads before installation to prevent air leaks at the fitting. Always wear ANSI-rated safety glasses and hearing protection during operation, as the decibel output of 97.8 dB exceeds recommended exposure limits for extended use without protection. Never aim the nozzle at personnel.
