To identify tip sizes, use the following formula. A “517” tip size will be used in
this example.
The first digit multiplied by two represents the size of the spray pattern when
spraying 12” away from the work surface:
5 x 2 = 10” spray pattern
The second two digits represent the diameter of the orifice on the tip:
17 = .017” orifice

Worn spray tips will adversely affect the spray pattern and result in
reduced production, poor finish, and wasted material. Replace worn
tips immediately.

operation. Flush the gun and spray tip after each use and store in a dry
location. Do not leave the gun or any of its parts in water or solvents.
