Spray Tip Selection - AIRLESSCO LP 2400 Operation Manual And Parts List

SPRAY TIP SELECTION

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

PATTERN WIDTH
Thickness of the paint coat per stroke is determined by spray
tip "fan width", rate of the spray gun movement, and distance
to surface.
SPRAY TIP SELECTION
Two tips having the same tip size, but different pattern widths
will deliver the same amount of paint over a different area
(wider or narrower strip).
A spray tip with a narrow pattern width makes it easy to spray
in tight places.
Tip Identification: All tips have a 6 digit part number. The first 3 digits identifies it as a Rev-Tip (560) or a Flat
Tip (570). The 4th digit is the fan width - the number is half the fan width, ie. 5 means a 10" fan when it is held
12" from the surface. The 5th and 6th digit is for the orifice size and is measured in thousands of an inch,
ie: 17 = 0.017 inch- the higher the number, the larger the tip.

Consult your paint manufacturer for application recommendation.
Spray tip size is based on how many gallons of paint per
minute can be sprayed through the tip. Do not use a tip
larger than the maximum pump flow rate or capacity the
sprayer can accommodate. Pump flow rate is measured in
gallons per minute (GPM).

SPRAY TIP REPLACEMENT
During use, especially with latex paint, high pressure will
cause the orifice to grow larger. This destroys the pattern.
Replace tips before they become excessively worn. Worn tips
waste paint, cause overspray, make cutting-in difficult, and
decreases sprayer performance.
