Why does my Metallisation Paint Sprayer pistol backfire?
- DdixonmicheleAug 6, 2025
A Metallisation Paint Sprayer pistol might backfire due to several reasons: * Leaks in the Nozzle Assembly. Inspect ‘O’ Rings for damage or loss and tighten the Air Cover. * Oversize gas holes in the Nozzle Shell. Replace the Nozzle Shell. * Incorrect Pressures. Ensure that air, gas, and oxygen pressures are as recommended. * Incorrect Nozzle parts. Check the part numbers. * Restrictions in Oxygen/Gas holes in the Mixing Block. Check oxygen and gas ports and clean them if needed. * Debris in the Air Nipple. Carefully clean the Air Nipple. * Opening the valve too quickly. Open the Valve less quickly. * Wire protruding too far forward from the Nozzle. Pull the wire back until it is flush with the Nozzle face. * Wire feeding too fast. Slow down the wire speed.
