The Model H.E.L.P. 1600B High Efficiency Low Pressure
Bleeder Spray Gun was designed to produce the highest
quality finish with today’s fluids as well as the the Low
V.O.C.
(volatile organic compound) fluids of tomorrow.
This spray gun can spray most coatings or finishes cur-
rently being used for automotive refinish, industrial, aero-
space, marine, wood, plastic and architectural applica-
tions, while easily operating from any paint delivery sys-
tem, including pressure pots of any size, or remote
pumps for production line operation.
If input air pressures are maintained at or below 15 psi
(1.05 bar), maximum air cap pressure will be 10 psi (0.7
bar), which is required to meet all new regulations.
The Typical Installation shown above is only a guide for
selecting and installing the equipment needed for an au-
tomatic spray system. It is not an actual system design.

Graco representative.
INSTALLATION
Ventilate the Spray Booth
WARNING
To prevent hazardous concentrations of toxic
and/or flammable vapors, spray only in a properly
ventilated spray booth. Never operate the spray
gun unless ventilation fans are operating.
Check and follow all of the National, State and
Local codes regarding air exhaust velocity
requirements.
Check and follow all local safety and fire codes.
Mount the Gun
Mount the gun on a 0.50 in. (12 mm) diameter rod mount-
ing fixture that allows adjustment of the spray pattern
direction and the distance from the workpiece.
Connect the Fluid Line
1.
Before connecting the fluid line, blow it out with air
and flush it with solvent. Use solvent which is com-
patible with the fluid to be sprayed.
2.
Install a fluid regulator on the fluid line to control fluid
pressure to the gun.
3.
Connect the fluid line to the 3/8–18 npsm (R 3/8–19)
gun fluid inlet.
