Choosing the Correct Tip for the Job
Consider coating and surface to be sprayed. Make sure you use best tip hole size for that coating and best fan width for that surface.
Tip Hole Size
Tip hole size controls flow rate - the amount of paint that comes out of the gun.
HINTS:
•Use larger tip hole sizes with thicker coat- ings and smaller tip hole sizes with thinner coatings.
•Maximum tip hole sizes supported by 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)
•Tips wear with use and need periodic replacement.
Fan Width
Fan width is the size of the spray pattern, which determines the area covered with each stroke. Narrower fans deliver a thicker coat, and wider fans deliver a thinner coat.
HINTS:
•Select a fan width best suited to the surface being sprayed.
•Wider fans allow provide better coverage on broad, open surfaces.
•Narrower fans provide better control on small, confined surfaces.
Understanding Tip Number
The last three digits of tip number (i.e.: 221413) contain information about hole size and fan width on surface when gun is held 12 in. (30.5 cm) from surface being sprayed.
