Spray Tip and Pressure Selection

Spray Tips come in a variety of sizes for spraying a wide range of materials. Your sprayer

includes a 515 Spray Tip for use with most paints on large surfaces such as walls and ceilings.

If you are spraying stain or need a different spray fan width, refer to the Spray Tip chart below

to select the best Spray Tip for your project. Additional Spray Tip sizes are available where paint

sprayers are sold.

1. What material are you spraying?

• The thicker the material, the larger

Spray Tip size you will need.

2. What spray fan width is needed for your

project?

• Narrow spray fan for smaller

projects

• Wider spray fan for larger projects

3. Confirm your sprayer can be used with

your Spray Tip size.

Tip Number Calculation:

• The first digit is half of the fan width

(#5 x 2 = 10 inch fan width).

• The last two digits are the size of the

tip opening in thousandths of an

inch.

• As you spray, the Spray Tip wears and as a result, the hole size gets larger. Starting with

a Spray Tip hole size smaller than the maximum will allow you to spray longer within the

compatibility of the sprayer.

• Spray Tips wear with use and need periodic replacement.
