SPRAY TIP SELECTION
SPRAY TIP REPLACEMENT
PATTERN WIDTH
SPRAY TIP SELECTION
Thickness of the paint coat per stroke is determined
by spray tip "fan width", rate of the spray gun movement,
and distance to surface.
Two tips having the same tip size, but different pattern
widths will deliver the same amount of paint over a different
area (wider or narrower strip).
A spray tip with a narrow pattern width makes it easy
to spray in tight places.
During use, especially with latex paint, high
pressure will cause the orifice to grow larger. This
destroys the pattern.
Replace tips before they become excessively
worn. Worn tips waste paint, cause overspray, make
cutting-in difficult, and decreases sprayer perfor-
mance.
Spray tip size is based on how many gallons of
paint per minute can be sprayed through the tip. Do
not use a tip larger than the maximum pump flow rate or
capacity the sprayer can accommodate. Pump flow
rate is measured in gallons per minute (GPM).
Spray tip selection is based on paint viscosity, paint
type, and job needs. For light viscosities (thin paints), use
a smaller tip; for heavier viscosities (thicker paints), use a
larger tip size.

Tip Identification: All tips have a 6 digit part number. The first 3 digits identifies it as a Rev-Tip (560) or a Flat
Tip (570). The 4th digit is the fan width - the number is half the fan width, ie. 5 means a 10” fan when it is held
12” from the surface. The 5th and 6th digit is for the orifice size and is measured in thousands of an inch,
ie: 17 = 0.017 inch- the higher the number, the larger the tip.
