STOP paint overspray. Use Titan's New TR1 HEA Spray Tips.

[@01mrfrank]

like and respect your professionalism, not to mention sharing all your experience for free. you guys rock. regarding guages: i just start at a low number pressure and raise pressure slowly spraying on a piece of cardboard until the gun does'nt finger any more. works best for me .

[@gannong1]

Great info gents. Long time residential painter (unprofessional) walls, ceilings, baseboard and crown, the old school way with masking off and brush and rollers. I just bought a new home and will be buying the 1700, based on your videos. Thank you for that. Never sprayed before, but always appreciated that glass like finish. Cant wait to get started spraying for the first time ever. Thanks again, for the videos, content, and inspirational and confidence building videos!!!

[@brianholleran6340]

these tips as well as the gracos new ff low pressure tips are amazing. I like gracos a little better inside becaus I like using ff tips on walls. They are expensive but not when you consider the savings. You can save a ton of paint and the tip lasts much longer at the low pressure. I wouldnt say the instantly make a novice a pro but they do help the learning curve. The feathering helps bad strokes.

[@JonnyHxCftw]

graco has a table in some of their manuals that give you the pressure loss for lengths of different diameter hose, great videos guys !

[@ragandoil]

Chris gave me a HEA tip when he was in the UK last week at the SPRAY-TECH Academy in Preston we spent a whole day spraying lots of different products , on trim and walls with different spray units , i have been spraying since 84 professionally and i learned a new trick or two , many thanks .. using the tip next week on a job .. jack frost

[@Idahopainter]

So glad you came out, thanks for watching and always supporting!

[@josephsomeone1611]

Best demo ever; thanks, with my 840 there's a gage at the unit and now I have one on my gun, therefore I can see any drop with added hoses and adjust as needed for gun head pressure. Good stuff men, thanks. Joseph….GreenHeart

So, I have been dropping my pressure down to just above fingering for 30+ yrs now and I don't see how this is any improvement on that... nice trick though...

[@FrankMac59]

My understanding is that the gauge must be installed vertically as opposed to horizontally, at least if it ia oil filled as is mine that came with a Titan Impact 400 in Australia.

[@MrPmurfe]

Chris, I see that Grace offers an HEA style tip as well. Guys keep up the good work!

[@tonyd4346]

I noticed you guys prime your tape with caulk which is awesome, and laser straight. I am curious as I have never used a sprayer, whether or not you are also using that method when you spray? Thanks for the awesome videos. I watch daily!

[@johnnybarbar7435]

I can't see that the guages are needed if the pattern goes from fingering to feathered as the correct pressure is reached. That pump setting can be marked or noted for each paint type and hose length.

[@Idahopainter]

Yes

[@iamnegan1515]

Oh yea

[@albertgreco22]

I have a Titan 400 mainly spray doors and trim only have been using red 311 which produces good results. I tried the HEA 211 and 311 and seems my material wants to sag very easily. Have you experienced this with HEA tips ever. Thanks for all your great videos.

[@michaelfederoff3417]

You can get 25' 3/16 lines and 25' 1/8 lines(.15 or less tips) from an airless dealership. I use Valley airless in Carmichael CA. Jay the owner sends me stuff here on Maui...

curious question. Why not just put one gauge at the end of the hose, rather than two gauges, since the end of the hose pressure seems o be all that matters?

[@Idahopainter]

Yeah, thanks for watching Matthew!

[@lewisscruggspaintingco.pai1498]

My old boss used to run that pressure guage on an hvlp for spraying laquer and stain on high end interior work; Mostly cabinets, doors, crown molding, etc. It's a little outta place for exterior work, try waving that thing around for 6-8 hours spraying all day and it's going to end up cracked, and extra weight not worth the trouble. Just test your fan on a cardboard shield when you're setting up and you're good to go.

[@MrJFoster1984]

Think both of you guys missed the point of the video, they used the gauges to figure out how much extra pressure they needed to use in order to run these type of tips correctly with extended lengths of hoses.

[@armyguy209]

Thanks for all the videos. Been binge watching the last few days as I'm getting ready to paint my garage. Just picked up a used(1.5yr old) Titan 640 for $700 because I wanted the digital readout. Also picked up the Titan Pro-RX gun, 20" extension, and the rac X 310 fine finish and 517 tips. Do you think these Titan tips are better than the Rac X tips? I'm brand new to using an airless so curious on your thoughts.

[@edwardce8341]

armyguy209 I think the 310 and 517 rack X tips you have will work just fine. However these new tips from Titan (HEA) and Graco (FFLP) are meant to be shot at 55% less pressure than The original Rac X black tips. I spray the FFLP tips around 1250 psi on my Graco 490 and it also produces a finer finish. I only own FFLP tips. Spring at lower pressure has several benefits including prolonging the life of your sprayer, less aerosolized particles,

[@Idahopainter]

The HEA tips are completely different then the FFLP tips. Both tips serve different purposes even though they are the same color plastic

[@Idahopainter]

The HEA tips are great for reducing overspray.

[@weberollinpaint3875]

[@mariuso4879]

First of all, thank you for all the informative videos you post, mistakes you made and corrected( not too many people can acknowledge theirs, never mind putting them on the internet). I would like to see these airless guns have the pressure gauge incorporated in them like the SATAjet® 5000 B RP which has a digital one inside its handle. Question: Can you run these tips or Graco's RAC X FF LP with an air- assisted airless? Thank you.

[@Idahopainter]

Only the Graco tips can run through the air assisted.

[@mariuso4879]

Thank you, Chris.

[@billphillips3866]

Since there is a pressure reduction with these tips, do they limit your extension length to 24in and under? like some of titan 1700 and 1900 series sprayers

[@southsideshenanigans]

Where do you guys get the hose whips ?

[@Idahopainter]

[@danieljohnson6684]

I have a graco proX 17 should I put a gauge on it. I set it at max and get a lot of running? Sorry I'm new to airless painting, I do apartment maintenance and figured that a sprayer and power roller would be the quickest option for me. Any help would be appreciated.

[@Brady.John87]

Have. You tried just running it by feel like we do normal tips? Turning up the pressure to get rid of fingering untill it's solid with soft edges and working from there? I wonder If the gauge is really needed if you were in a pinch

[@Idahopainter]

It is too difficult to do without the gauge

[@wyoming777]

Great` video! If you were to use an HEA tip inside to do quite a bit of trim and raised panel wainscot (its en enclosed bar area), how much "fog" would you expect? Its a repaint, same color, semigloss using C2 Cabinet & Trim, Im thinking probably a 311 tip. You mention in the video that they arent really fine finish tip, would an HEA tip even be appropriate for that?

[@surfcharlie1ch]

I've been looking at the Titan and Graco paint sprayers. What makes the system a high efficiency/low overspray sprayer? Is it the tip or pump or both?

See those blocks under the shed? Those have nothing to do with leveling. They are there to hold and distribute the weight of the amount of paint on the shed. I think the shed is sinking into the earth every day. Ballistic walls though. Fire a few rounds into that wall and watch the bullets bounce off.

I’ve tried both, pretty much same thing , lower pressure bigger droplet size, I tried spraying walls on a new house, it’s really slow , also you must apply heaps of paint to fill pin holes that comes with the low pressure, I prefer just the regular graco blue ltx tip for walls ,

You sound like a typical snowflake. Knock it off. Nobody owes you shit. You need to learn how to use a sprayer and the right tips and pressures for each application. An hea tip can't fix that. A graco fflp can't fix that.
