Familiarizing Yourself with Graco Fine Finish Tips

Graco Fine Finish Tips

Each project requires different sizes of spray tips depending upon the spray coating being applied as well the items being sprayed. Therefore, it is useful to understand how, for example, Graco fine finish tips vary from other sizes. If you are familiar with airless and air airless assisted equipment, then you understand the sizing system used by several spray tip manufacturers. The last three digit part of the tip size tells you how wide the spray fan will be, and how large the orifice size is. For instance, a Graco fine finish tip 63-509-513 tip is made to produce a spray pattern of 10 inches when sprayed about 12 inches from the surface (two times the “5” in “513”) and has an orifice size of .013 inches (.001 times the “13” in “513”).

Graco Fine Finish Tips

Just knowing that much about sizing Graco fine finish tips should be useful in choosing a tip size when you already know what type of product you will be using, and what you will be applying it to. Smaller orifice sizes will apply product at slower rates than larger ones will, so they are more effective for applying varnishes, stains, and lacquers. Additionally, the Graco 63-509 fine finish tips or 63-611 air assisted airless tip series will complete jobs on metal, woodwork, or cabinetry in a short amount of time.

Looking for Paint Sprayer Tips Online?

Paint Sprayer Tips

It is an unfortunate fact, but airless paint sprayer tips do not have an infinite lifespan. Like any consumable accessory, how long your sprayer tips last will depend on how often you use them. However, how you use them also factors into the longevity. For example, what is the quality of the product(s) you spray? Is the material gritty at all and, if so, how gritty is it? What is the pressure you use when spraying or applying product? All of those issues can affect how long sprayer tips last.

Paint Sprayer Tips

An additional factor is how you care for your paint sprayer tips. Not cleaning airless tips after each use will affect their performance and can reduce their lifespan. Many times all that is required is the use of tip cleaning needles along with running a solvent solution through the tip, but depending on the material you most recently worked with, sometimes a wire or nylon brush is required to thoroughly clean the exterior of the tip.

Time to Replace Your Paint Sprayer Tips?

When the quality of the spray fan changes, you will know it is time to replace the old tip. Over time and with use, the fan will diminish until, rather than spraying in a rectangular pattern, the product comes out in a circle. While it is possible to continue to use a sprayer tip that has that amount of wear, doing so isn’t very efficient or economical. It will take more product to get the job done at that rate, and it will take you more time to do it–and isn’t saving time and doing a quality job the reason you use airless equipment in the first place?

Come to KM Coating when it’s time to replace those worn paint sprayer tips. KM Coating has a large selection of quality paint sprayer tips and tip accessories, for the best results and at discounted prices.

PTFE Hose

PTFE Hose

It is the versatility and durability of PTFE hose that makes it such a popular choice for use with airless and air assisted airless spray equipment. Its strength and resilience make it useful for applying a variety of spray coatings but also for handling chemicals, gas, hydraulic oils, and even high-temperature materials like steam. Even solvents such as acids pose no threat to the integrity of quality PTFE, making it useful across multiple industries.

Several Types of PTFE Hose Available

PTFE Hose

There are several types of PTFE hose that KM Coating offers. Both smooth bore and convoluted PTFE hose feature 304 stainless steel braid and a 0.30 minimum wall thickness. Each of these options offer different benefits; for instance, the convoluted version provides more flexibility with a larger diameter hose. When a smaller diameter hose is desired or required, the smooth bore type of PTFE hose not only allows a fast flow for fluid dynamics, but it also assembles quickly and easily. Both types are excellent at resisting deterioration and they have the lowest friction coefficient.

When your high pressure hose application needs include resisting high temperatures up to 500°F, transferring harsh chemicals, and/or optimal fluidity, KM Coating has the PTFE hose for the job. We even have PTFE thermoplastic hose that is rated up to 5000 PSI, for that extra PSI requirement needed. In addition, we can customize high pressure hose to your specified length and fitting configuration. KM Coating offers everything you need in a high pressure hose and even goes beyond to ensure superior performance and results.

Airless Spray Tips

Airless Spray Tips

With a variety of airless spray tips available, it can be a challenge to choose the right spray tip for your application. For example, you may appreciate the diversity of jobs flat spray tips can perform, ranging from industrial finishing to line marking, and fine finishing, too. Flat airless spray tips are tailor-made to perform those tasks depending on the size you choose, and can even be made to work with robotic airless equipment for mass-production projects.

Airless Spray Tips – Reducing the Downtime with Quality Equipment

Sometimes, whether or not you are working in an industrial setting, reducing downtime as much as possible is a priority. Reversible spray tips are the ideal choice in those instances. They come in standard, industrial, and fine finish varieties, so they offer results comparable to flat tips. However, the biggest benefit to opting for reversible tips is that they are built for clearing out clogs. Unfortunately, clogs are inevitable, even when you take precautions and use paint filters multiple times before the spray coating is being applied. Typically, clearing out those clogs costs you time because you have to shut down production, remove the tip, clean it, replace it, and test the spray before you can continue working. With a reversible spray tip, all you have to do is put the tip in the reverse position and spray through to quickly removing the clog, so you may continue with your project.

Of course, you may choose to use a flat airless spray tip for some jobs and a reversible one for others. Whatever airless spray tips you need, you can find them at KM Coating. We offer a large selection of quality flat and reversible paint spray tips in standard and fine finish versions to help you solve all your fluid handling requirements.

Hydraulic Hose

Rubber hydraulic hoses are useful for a number of applications such as transporting petroleum and synthetic or water based fluids within the agricultural, construction, earthmoving and material handling industries. One of the most popular hydraulic hoses used is PTFE hose. It has become so common because it is effective for those jobs that require chemicals to be transported or when high temperatures are used. Plus, PTFE hose is available in a number of different ways that allow you to address flexibility and flow issues so you’ll always have the right equipment to get the results you want.

It has a maximum working pressure rated at 8,000 PSI and guarantees the same smooth swivel function at all pressure ranges.

Upgrading is as simple as attaching the 79-201 Industrial Swivel between a length of heavy duty hose and an industrial spray gun.

Stainless Steel Braided Hose

Stainless Steel Braided Hose

Stainless Steel Braided HoseStainless steel braided hose is the best type of hose to use with an airless spray system when you need top of the line quality. While it is true that basic airless hoses made from polyamide and polyurethane can be high quality, it is the ability of hoses made from braided stainless steel to withstand high temperatures and resist chemical damage that make them the best choice when the job requires ultimate strength and durability. Regardless of the quality of a basic flexible hose, you can avoid the cost and frustration of repeatedly replacing hoses on your airless when you opt for braided stainless steel.

Stainless Steel Braided Hose Might not be the Most Cost Effective Option

Even if you mostly use your airless sprayer for painting, stainless steel braided hose still might be the most cost-effective option for you. If you occasionally use it to transfer any type of chemicals, including hydraulic oil or gas, or if high temperature steam will be flowing through the hose, you will be happy you equipped your airless with the premium hose. Chemicals will not eat away at the braided stainless steel, nor will steam compromise it. In the end, you will be able to switch back to using your airless to apply the typical spray coatings you normally use it for without wondering how soon the hose will need to be replaced.

When it comes to outfitting your airless equipment with vital high quality accessories, KM Coating has a wide selection of all kinds of hoses including high or low pressure, rubber, PTFE tubing, thermoplastic, and stainless steel braided hose. They can even customize the length of any hose to the perfect measurement and will also attach the fitting configuration you request.
