Tip Selection
Selecting Tip Hole Size
Tips come in a variety of hole sizes for spray- ing a range of fluids. Your sprayer includes an 0.015 in (0.38 mm) tip for use in most spraying applications. Use the following table to deter- mine the range of recommended tip hole sizes for each fluid type. If you need a tip other than the one supplied, see the Reversible Tip Selection Chart on page 14.
HINTS:
•As you spray, the tip wears and enlarges. Starting with a tip hole size smaller than the maximum will allow you to spray within the rated flow capacity of the sprayer.
•Maximum tip hole sizes supported by the sprayer:
–dx: 0.015 in. (0.38 mm)
–XR5: 0.015 in. (0.38 mm)
–XR7: 0.017 in. (0.43 mm)
–XR9: 0.019 in. (0.48 mm)
