Spray Tip Selection. AIRLESSCO 8-10-11 SL810,SL1100,910E,1110E, 910E

SPRAY TIP SELECTION

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

TIP SELECTION CHART

REV -TIPS (P.N. 560-XXX)

FLAT TIPS (P.N. 570-XXX)

For sizes not shown, call factory for availability.

FULL RANGE OF TIP SIZES

Tip Identification: All tips have a 6 digit part number. The first 3 digits identifies it as a Rev-Tip (560) or a Flat

Tip (570). The 4th digit is the fan width - the number is half the fan width, ie. 5 means a 10” fan when it is held

12” from the surface. The 5th and 6th digit is for the orifice size and is measured in thousands of an inch,

ie: 17 = 0.017 inch- the higher the number, the larger the tip.

PATTERN WIDTH

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

SPRAY TIP SELECTION

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.

SPRAY TIP REPLACEMENT

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.
