SIZE SELECTION CHART
PATTERN WIDTH
Thickness of the paint coat per stroke is determined by
spray tip "fan width", rate of the spray gun movement, and
the distance to the surface being sprayed. Airlessco "Wide
Pattern" spray tips offer fan patterns up to 18-24" wide for
optimum coverage speed. Due to the fine atomization at
the edge of the spray pattern on Wide Pattern tips, they
may not be the best choice for exterior use when wind
is present.
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 which is very
abrasive, high pressure will cause the orifice to grow larger.
This destroys the spray pattern. Replace tips before they
become excessively worn.
Worn tips waste paint, cause overspray, make cutting-in
difficult. They can effect sprayer performance too because
the volume of paint going thru a "blown out" tip can be
greater than the pumps maximum output capacity.
Spray tip selection is based on paint viscosity, paint
type, your pumps output capabilities, and job needs.
For light viscosities (thin paints), use a smaller tip;
for heavier viscosities (thicker paints), use a larger
tip size.
Going to larger spray tip sizes is dependent on how many
gallons of paint per minute can be sprayed by your pump
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 min. (GPM), or where
appropriate, liters per min. (LPM).
