A comfortable full finger trigger and convenient hanger loop are built-in to this 1/4 NPT Safety Air Gun. The Nano Super Air Nozzle requires only 8.3 SCFM and is made of Type 316SS or PEEK thermoplastic.

CE compliant, Exair’s precision safety air gun is available with a standard, 12 in. or 20 in. extension that can also be outfitted with an impact resistant polycarbonate chip shield. The air gun body is made of high impact, glass reinforced nylon. The airflow that exits the nozzle can’t be blocked, assuring safe operation and meeting required OSHA standards 1910.242(b). The air gun produces a quiet 75 dBA noise level that is well below the limits of the OSHA noise exposure standard 29 CFR 1910.95(a).
