Spray Tip and Pressure Selection
Spray Tips come in a variety of sizes for
spraying a wide range of materials. Your
sprayer includes a 515 Spray Tip for use with
most paints on large surfaces such as walls
and ceilings. If you are spraying stain or need
a different spray fan width, refer to the Spray
Tip chart below to select the best Spray Tip
for your project. Additional Spray Tip sizes
are available where paint sprayers are sold.
1. What material are you spraying?
•
The thicker the material, the larger
Spray Tip size you will need.
2. What spray fan width is needed for your
project?
•
Narrow spray fan for smaller
projects
•
Wider spray fan for larger projects
Tip Number Calculation:
•
The first digit is half of the fan width
(#5 x 2 = 10 inch fan width).
•
The last two digits are the size of the
tip opening in thousandths of an
inch.
•
As you spray, the Spray Tip wears and as a result, the hole size gets larger. Starting with
a Spray Tip hole size smaller than the maximum will allow you to spray longer within the
compatibility of the sprayer.
•
Spray Tips wear with use and need periodic replacement.
