SELECTING A SPRAY TIP
See Figure 11, page 19.
Spray tips come in a variety of hole sizes and fan widths.
Your unit includes two reversible spray tips with a hole size
of .010 in. and .019 in. that will work for a wide variety of
applications. The 310 spray tip has a fan width of 6-8 in.
and is best for fine finish applications. The 619 spray tip has
a fan width of 12-14 in. and is best for airless applications.
HOLE SIZE: Spray tip hole size determines the flow rate,
which is the amount of paint that is discharged from sprayer.
A larger hole size is best for thicker materials. A smaller hole
size is best for thinner materials.
FAN SIZE: Fan width determines the size of the spray pat-
tern when sprayer is held approximately 12 in. from surface
to be painted.
A narrow fan width will provide thicker coverage of material
and is better suited for small, tight areas.
A wide fan width will give thinner coverage of material and
provide better coverage on large, broad areas.
SPRAY TIP NUMBERS: When selecting a spray tip, the last
three numbers of the spray tip number contain information
on hole size and fan width.
OPERATION
pistol-grip sprayer (without guard
For example, if the spray tip number is 1415, the 4, when
doubled is the approximate fan width of paint when applied
12 inches from surface. The last two numbers, 15, refer to
the hole size in inches. In this case .015 in.

SPRAY TIP WEAR: It is important to replace spray tips when
they become worn. A worn spray tip will cause uneven ap-
plication and finish of material. Over time the spray tip hole
size increases and the width of the fan spray decreases.
Spray tips need to be replaced after 50 to 60 gallons of use.
To increase the life of your spray tips, use the lowest pres-
sure setting needed to apply an even coating of material.
