Airless paint sprayer tips are the unsung heroes of the painting world, responsible for transforming liquid paint into a fine, even mist for efficient application. Choosing the right tip is crucial for achieving a flawless finish and optimizing paint usage. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you navigate the world of airless sprayer tips:
Tip Sizes:
Tip numbers: Represented by a three-digit code, where the first digit indicates the spray pattern (round, fan, etc.), the second digit indicates the orifice diameter in tenths of a millimeter, and the third digit (optional) denotes additional features like a reverse-clean mechanism.
Tip Patterns:
Round: The most common pattern, producing a circular spray ideal for precision work like trim and doors.
Fan: Offers wider coverage for walls and large surfaces, available in various angles (e.g., 45°, 55°) for different fan widths.
Wall Texture: Designed for applying textured coatings, creates a stippled pattern for decorative finishes.
Additional Features:
Reverse-clean tips: Allow for easy cleaning by unscrewing and rinsing the tip, preventing clogs and paint buildup.
Stainless steel tips: More durable and wear-resistant, ideal for heavy-duty use and abrasive paints.
Tip guards: Protect the tip from accidental damage and overspray.

Light projects (stains, varnishes): 211, 311 tips
General painting (latex, acrylics): 415, 517 tips
