Rev-Tip™ Selection Chart - AIRLESSCO HSS 9000 Service & Operation Manual

Spray tip selection is based on paint viscosity, paint type,
and job needs. For light viscosities (thin paints), use a
smaller tip; for heavier vis cos i ties (thicker paints), use a
larger tip size.

PATTERN WIDTH
Thickness of the paint coat per stroke is de ter mined by spray tip "fan width", the rate of the
spray gun move ment, and the distance to surface you are painting.
SPRAY TIP SELECTION
Two tips having the same tip size, but different pat tern widths will deliver the same amount
of paint over a dif fer ent area (wider or narrower strip). A spray tip with a narrow pattern
width makes it easy to spray in tight places.
SPRAY TIP REPLACEMENT
During use, especially with latex paint, high pres sure will cause the orifi ce to grow larger.
This de stroys the pattern that distributes the paint effi ciently across the surface being
sprayed. Always replace tips before they become excessively worn. Worn tips waste paint,
cause overspray, make cut ting-in diffi cult, and can decrease sprayer per formance.
