INTRODUCTION
Your new TEKZ® spray gun is a vital link in the finishing application. In addition to
operating the spray gun properly, techniques of surface preparation, paint preparation
and the nature of the specific spray material to be used must be understood. These
instructions will explain the differences among various spray methods and serve as a
guide in the proper operation and techniques of spray painting. Please refer to the
Parts section of this manual for model specific information.
TYPES OF SPRAY GUNS
There are three basic types of spray guns: siphon feed, pres-
sure feed, and gravity feed. The type of spray gun used
depends upon the application and the size of the project.
These types of spray guns can be either “conventional” spray
or HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) spray.
Conventional spray guns use a much higher air cap pressure
(more than 10 PSI) to atomize the paint than is used by HVLP
spray guns which results in more overspray and lower transfer
efficiency. (Transfer efficiency refers to the percentage of paint
sprayed that actually adheres to the surface being painted).
HVLP, electrostatic and airless paint spray guns are the only spray methods that meet
the strict 65% transfer efficiency rate required by some air quality district regulations.
This improved transfer efficiency results in a significant material savings when com-
par
ed to conventional spray guns. Be sure to check local, state and national regula-
tions that may apply before performing any spraying operations.
