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.

Fan
widths measuring
aa
to

are
most preferred because they offer
more
control
while
spraying and
are
less likely
to
plug.
