Conventional Guns efficiency greater than or equal to HVLP guns. The Graco compliant guns have no restrictions Excellent atomization and high production on air cap pressures, but the gun inlet pres- rates typically with some reduction in transfer sure must remain under 35 psi (0.24 MPa,...
Check your local electrical code for detailed the air flow. If an air adjusting valve is grounding instructions. desired, use a Graco adjustable air valve (234784). Ground the gun through connection to a Graco-approved conductive air supply hose.
Setup Adjust Spray Pattern 6. To reduce fluid flow, turn the fluid control valve clockwise. 1. Rotate the air cap to achieve desired spray pattern. See F • If the fluid control valve is turned clock- wise all the way, the gun will emit only air.
Operation Operation When using the HVLP spray gun, instead of a conventional airspray gun, you may need to use a slightly slower hand movement and make fewer passes with the gun to coat a part. This is due to the reduced spray velocity pro- duced by lower HVLP air pressures, along with a larger fluid particle size because there is less Pressure Relief Procedure...
