Gun Selection

Conventional Guns

Excellent atomization and high production
rates typically with some reduction in transfer
efficiency.

HVLP Guns

An HVLP gun is a high transfer efficiency gun
which limits the air pressure at the air cap to
10 psi (0.07 MPa, 0.7 bar) maximum. In some
areas, an HVLP gun is required for compliance
with environmental standards.

WARNING

Compliant Guns

A compliant gun is a high transfer efficiency
gun which has been tested to have a transfer
efficiency greater than or equal to HVLP guns.
The Graco compliant guns have no restrictions
on air cap pressures, but the gun inlet pres-
sure must remain under 35 psi (0.24 MPa,
2.4 bar) to remain in compliance.
