identies it as a
REV-TIP
TM
for airless
paint spraying (P.N. 560-xxx), a
REV-TIP
TM
for airless
line striping (P.N. 562-xxxST), or a
REV-TIP
TM
for ne
nishing (P.N. 571-xxx)
4TH DIGIT
is the fan width - the number is half the
fan width, e.g., 5 means a 10” fan, when 12” from the
substrate. Exception are the“W” prex tips which indicate a
wide spray pattern.
5TH AND 6TH DIGITS
are for the orice size, which is
measured in thousandths of an inch, e.g., 17 = 0.017 inch
- The higher the number, the larger the tip. Orice size is
important as it is matched up to the type of coating to be
sprayed, e.g. 11 for clear coats, 17 for latex paints, and 25
for some elastomerics.
NOTE:
Tips are a wear item. For example, a .017 tip
spraying latex paint can wear to a .019 orice in as little as
50 gallons, then to a .021 after another 50 gallons. As this
happens, the fan pattern starts to become more circular,
until the edges start to nger. On smaller volume (GPM)
airless paint sprayers, a tip can become so large that the
unit can no longer maintain good spray pressure.

Your airless spray gun can be used to spray a wide
range of coatings. These coatings fall into three general
catagories: architectural/industrial, line striping, and ne
nishing. Each of these catagories uses a different style of
tip. The line striping tips differ from standard tips as they
are machined to spray heavier on the edges of the pattern
to create crisper lines. The ne nish tips have double
orices to better atomize light-weight coatings, such as
lacquers. All three styles of REV-TIP
TM
tips use the
same REV-GUARD
TM
base. Each REV-TIP
TM
style
is color coded to ease identication, with standard rev-tips
being blue, line striping, orange, and ne nish, green.
