Air blow off

[davyfireball]

What do you guys use for a blow off. I don t want a attachment that only puts out 20lbs pressure. I build car engines and I could really use a good tool

Volume is your friend, not to worry about pressure limiters. The ports do prevent injury. look for ~ 1/8" orifice and flow.

now i heard of guys, none that i know personally of course, that will take a male and female milton type coupler plugs and screw them together. when
the gizmo is plugged in to the coupler, massive volumes of air come out. thats what i heard anyway.

Thanks id like to thank you . I ll just get the torch out and braze the two together. Or I could put a valve in the center and make her look store bought.

Milton makes one with a rubber tip for bowing passageways.

The best IMHO, Vacula... Get the tip accessory's for it life will be good... The tips snap on and off they come in different sizes.

Most blow guns can be made FULL flow : ) these two are older than the hills I use them mostly when going engine work... Remove the original tip and find a brass fitting that will screw in then make up copper extensions for it...

 

[kevinj54]

Yep, I have a couple like that too.

There are some jobs that the safety nozzles just will not do.

 

[Steve@Advance]

Remember these?

Didn't think they still made them, but get rid of the safety tip, this will move some air!

now here is a nudder option. i heard lotta guys take the milton air chuck plug, screw it in a pipe coupling and then install a hose barb on the other end.
yup, that what i hear a lotta guys do. yup lotta guys. not me of course. they look kind a like this. cheap too

Like Hobo sez - brake line fittings will screw into those type of blow guns, and you can bend the brake line to get into a tough spot. We've all got scraps of brake line.

I forgot about those.

We had one on the farm but it is low volume compared to a real blow gun.

This one is the real deal. The name says it all. Can be controlled from a little air to a typhoon. It is what I use.

This is what I use for blowing out my radiator from the back. I can get lots of crud out with it. The barbed brass for tubing just screws in like the original nozzle.

 

[Stephen Newell]

Thanks to OSHA it's difficult to find an air nozzle that blows a descent amount of air. I use one made in the 1970's.

A fitting like that is handy for other reasons too. I happen to know someone who uses one to fill a portable air tank equipped with a female coupling. ;-)
