Choosing the Correct Tip for
the Job
Consider coating and surface to be sprayed.
Make sure you use best tip hole size for that
coating and best fan width for that surface.
Tip Hole Size
Tip hole size controls flow rate - the amount of
paint that comes out of the gun.

Understanding Tip Number

The last three digits of tip number (i.e.:
221413) contain information about hole size
and fan width on surface when gun is held 12
in. (30.5 cm) from surface being sprayed.
First digit when doubled
= approximate
fan width.
Last two digits = tip hole size in thousands
of an inch.
Use larger tip hole sizes with thicker coat-
ings and smaller tip hole sizes with thinner
coatings.
Maximum tip hole sizes supported by
sprayer:
– dx: 0.015 in. (0.38 mm)
– XR5: 0.015 in. (0.38 mm)
– XR7: 0.017 in. (0.43 mm)
– XR9: 0.019 in. (0.48 mm)
Tips wear with use and need periodic
replacement.
Select a fan width best suited to the surface
being sprayed.
Wider fans allow provide better coverage
on broad, open surfaces.
Narrower fans provide better control on
small, confined surfaces.
