Important things to know about tip wear
It's important to replace a tip when it becomes worn, this ensures you''ll have a precise spray pattern,
maximum productivity and a quality finish. When tip wears, the hole(orifice) size increases and spray
pattern width decreases.
Tip life varies by coating, Extend tip life by spraying at the lowest
pressure that breaks up(atomizes)the coating into a complete
spray pattern.
Recommend tip replacement
