AIR PRESSURE RECOMMENDATIONS
All guns produced since December 15,
1990 have a 54-3946 fan control as stan-
dard equipment. Maximum recommend-
ed nozzle atomizing pressure is 10 psi.
The 95P and 905P air nozzles are most
suitable for conventional materials.
Use of very low fluid delivery rates with
these nozzles will produce a narrower
than normal fan pattern.
Use the 97P air nozzle for heavy bodied,
high solids materials and low fluid rates
with conventional materials. High flow
rates with light bodied materials may
result in some minor “smoking” or fluid
build-up on the face of these nozzles.

*NOTE
Regulator pressures are based on
25' of 5/16" diameter hose in
good condition without Quick-
Disconnects or other restrictive
fittings. Use the air nozzle test
gauge accessory to confirm the
atomizing/regulator pressure
relationship for your actual air
supply set-up.
These recommendations are for
“typical” or “average” fluids, and
are intended to serve as a starting
point. Adjust as necessary for
your specific application.
