ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE 

Before reassembling the RTB16 spray gun apply 
a moisture resistant valve lubricant such as Dow 
Corning MOLYKOTE 111 to all O-ring seals.  
Sliding metal surface should be lubricated with 
Logix Thread Smart Anti-Seize compound.  

 

When reassembling the RTB16 spray gun, apply 
LOCTITE 243 to FRONT BODY BUSHING (2), 
and HEX HD. SCREW (8). 

 

1.  Check that BODY (1) is clean and ready for 

assembly. 

 

2.  Insert STEM ASSEMBLY (3) into BODY (1) 

until it is fully seated.  Make sure all seals are 
undamaged, properly lubricated and intact. 

 

3.  Applying careful pressure to compress the 

spring, screw FRONT BODY BUSHING (2) 
with O-RING (4) into BODY (1). 

 

4.  Assemble HANDLE (9) with HANDLE 

BUSHING (6), BODY BUSHING (7) and HEX 
HD. SCREW (8). 

 

5.  Install RUBBER COVER (5) by first inserting 

the BODY (1) handle into the cover.  Slide on
