Nozzle, Needle, and Tip Selection Nozzle, Needle, and Tip Selection The chart below lists the available nozzle sizes and required fluid needle and nozzles for the Delta Spray XT guns. The HVLP, Compliant, and Airspray guns all use the same nozzle design and fluid needles. When spray- ing high flow rates and high viscosity materials use the larger nozzle sizes and when spraying light materials or low flow rates, use the smaller nozzle sizes.
