Hand Drilling of Mix Modules
To balance pressure and
flow at the mix gun
Graco only makes 1:1 ratio mix modules. When apply-
ing a material that is different than 1:1 it is necessary to
modify the mix module to allow more material through
the larger part side.
The actual size of the orifice required is dependent on
many factors such as material viscosity, shear, ratio tip
size, etc. For example, a 2:1 material by volume does
not necessarily require the diameter on the larger part
side to be doubled.
Check Valve Filter Option
See Check Valve Filter Screens, page 52. Gun is
shipped with 80 mesh filters on both the A and B check
valves. 40 mesh (quantity 2) and 60 mesh (quantity 2)
filters are included with the gun. For wider ratio materi-
als it is advisable to decrease the filter size on the larger
part side to decrease pressure drop.
