Graco Magnum Pro x 17 paint pressure gauge and Hero 8 problems

I started out to make a video showing me installing a paint pressure gauge on my Magnum Pro X 17 paint sprayer pump. Murphy's law took over from there. My GoPro Hero 8 decided to format the memory card all on it's own after I had finished recording. It erase ALL of my video files. So, I used my other camcorder and redid the video. Enjoy :o)

Great Video!! I love your comments !! piece of useful info the nut you were talking about for no tape ....are called compression fittings.

[@nmsidewinder]

Hi Tony Thanks for the nice comment as well the compression fitting information. I just couldn't remember what you call them to save my life. Glad you enjoyed the video.

I agree the pressure control valve should be more that a dial with a sticker on it. How did this work for you so far?

[@nmsidewinder]

Hi Jerry It worked out good, I just adjusted the psi the paint manufacturer recommended and it worked great. Beats the trial and error method and wasted paint doing it. Thank for commenting.

Where did you buy the fitting that comes from the sprayer into the tee? Im having a hard time finding one. Thanks.

[@nmsidewinder]

Look at the comment I replied to Jerry Johnson. In my reply I gave the Name, address and part number where I bought mine from. The guage came with everything you need. You just remove the hose and connect the unit to the pump, then connect the hose. Hope this helps. Thanks for commenting 🙂.

Jerry I got mine from a company in Austin, Texas. By the way I got the name and address from Graco.. go figure. lol Here's the company: E.A.H Austin, INC. P.O.

I’d like to know how low the pressure can go

[@nmsidewinder]

Hi Murphy The lowest reading on the guage is 200psl. The range of the guage is 0 to 5000psi. Each mark is 100psi with the exception of the 1st mark past 0 which is 200psi the following marks are ALL 100psi each after that. Hope this helps. There are numbers for 1000, 2000,3000,4000, and 5000. Thanks for commenting.

Where can I find this?

[@nmsidewinder]

I suggest you contact Graco and they can provide the latest information about where to purchase the pressure gauge. I would give you the information but I can't find the paperwork at the moment and it is best to get the latest information from Graco because of the supply issues we are having.
