AIRLESS TIP SELECTION

Tips

are

selected

by

the

orifice

size

and

fan

width.

The proper selection is determined

by

the

fan

width required for a

specific job

and

by

the

orifice

size

that will supply the desired amount

of

fluid

and

accomplish proper atomization.

For

light viscosity fluids, smaller orifice tips generally

are

desired.

For

heavier viscosity materials, larger orifice tips

are

preferred. Please refer

to

the

chart below.

Note: Do not exceed the pump's recommended tip size.

The following chart indicates

the

most

common

sizes

and

the

appropriate materials

to

be

sprayed.

less likely

to

plug.
