Spray Tip Selection Guide - AIRLESSCO SL1500 Service & Operation Manual

TIP SELECTION GUIDE
Spray tip selection is based on paint viscosity, paint type, &
job needs. For light viscosities (thin paints), use a smaller
tip; heavier (thicker paints), use a larger tip size. 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 maximum pump flow rate or capacity the sprayer can
accommodate. Pump flow rate is measured in gallons per
minute (GPM).

Thickness of the paint coat per stroke is determined by
spray tip "fan width", rate of the spray gun movement, and
distance to surface. 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.

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.
