Spray Tip Selection
Selecting Tip Size
Spray tips come in a variety of hole sizes for
spraying a range of fluids. Your sprayer
includes a tip for use in most paint spraying
applications. Use the coatings table on page
20 to determine the range of recommended
tip hole sizes for each fluid type. If you need
a tip other than the one supplied, see the
Reversible Spray Tip Selection Chart,
page 29.
Hints:
•
As you spray, the tip wears and
enlarges. Starting with a tip hole size
smaller than the maximum will allow
you to spray within the rated flow
capacity of the sprayer.
• Use larger tip hole sizes with thicker
coatings and smaller tip hole sizes with
thinner coatings.
• Tips wear with use and need periodic
replacement.
• Tip hole size controls flow rate - the
amount of paint that comes out of the
gun.
Fan Width
Fan width is the size of the spray pattern,
which determines the area covered with each
stroke.
Hints:
•
Select a fan width best suited to the
surface being sprayed.
• Wider fans allow provide better cover-
age on broad, open surfaces.
• Narrower fans provide better control on
small, confined surfaces.
Understanding Tip Number
The last three digits of tip number (i.e.:
286413
) contain information about hole size
and fan width on surface when gun is held 12
in. (30.5 cm) from surface being sprayed.

Example: For an 8 to 10 in. (203 to 254 mm)
fan width and 0.013 (0.33 mm) hole size,
order Part No. 286413.
Lacquer Conversion Kit
To spray lacquers with the ProX17 or
ProX19, you must purchase a lacquer
conversion kit, and follow Static Grounding
Instructions (Oil-Based materials), page
30, when using oil-based materials. See
ProX17 and ProX19 parts list, page 45 or 47.
The X5 and X7 must not be used with
lacquers.
