You will find that pinholes in the finished surface are usually can be blamed on people used wd40 or pledge polish in the close environment. If a cocommecial customer comes up with this problem is 99% its time to change the furniture polish u use. It even effects powered coating.

[@asonou]

Hi deren thanks for this video, a great and clear explanation. I was wondering if HEA Wagner Tips can be mounted on standard Wagner tip guards and used on an Older Wagner Project Pro 117 ?

[@AirlessDiscounter]

Hi Alfred, you can use the HEA Profi tips with a standard Wagner tip holder (Wagner Trade Tip 3 tip holder). This way they would fit your ProjectPro 117 too. But be careful there are also Wagner HEA for the new DIY series (ControlPro series). There tips will not fit. Best regards, Stefan

[@scotteebee]

Great video. It was almost all the info I was looking for; however, it lacked info about the RAC IV tips. I have an older sprayer - Graco Magnum LTS17 Pro.

I m from India sir and i m paintre sir

[@MatteusClement]

What is the most aggressive solvent you can use to clean your tips? (Latex) Ammonia? Laquer?

[@AirlessDiscounterInternational]

To clean the nozzle you can use a Nitro dilution or CHC (stripping). but that would also attack the plastic, so you would need to be careful when cleaning the metal parts of the spray tip only. Otherwise simply insert in a Tip Cleaner. But you will need to check cleaning requirements for multi-component materials.

[@kentma7516]

can you use gasket and seat interchangeably, meaning use 210 gaskets and seat in 310 tips?

Great video for a DIY beginner painter. Question, when investing in a sprayer should I look at Graco or Titan? Thx

[@DIYAllied]

I personally love graco products.

[@AirlessDiscounterInternational]

Hi, Each supplier has more or less equivalent models.

[@marcus6425]

Which would theoretically be better for walls; the FFLL or LP tip? Currently using a FFLP 412 but thinking of using an LP 415.

[@AirlessDiscounterInternational]

Hi Marcus, without any other information, spraying walls can be done with a standard 415 spray tip. You can use the low pressure spray tip too, if desired. Fine finish spray tips are generally used for your woodwork, trimmings, staircases, cabinets.

[@carlcox7332]

I mean you could use an fflp tip but youd be there way longer so kinda defeats the reason for having an airless to begin with.

Great video, thanks for that. I just recently got Graco TC Pro handheld sprayer from Home Depot and it came with gray guard and gray tip 514 - what's the difference between it and blue guard with blue tip in 514 or 515? And why can't I put blue tips in the gray guard? I'm planning on painting the walls inside my garage and then later my kitchen and bedroom walls. Thanks.

[@AirlessDiscounterInternational]

Hi, The tip of your sprayer looks like a green low pressure tip like RAC X FFLP. But as it is a special product delivered only within USA, we would advise you to get in touch with your original supplier to be able to buy the right tips for it. Kind regards, Airless Discounter team

[@chocolatepuddingpant]

I can't find an answer from Graco or online. Can you use a Graco TC Pro with the RAC X tips? Do I just need to get a RAC X spray guard? Or is the TC Pro not compatible with the RAC X tips?

Hi Deren thanks for this video, it is a great and clear explanation. I have a NEW sprayer (used once) that I won, but I am sure it is discontinued. It's a Milwaukee paint sprayer Model M4910-21. I believe the spray guard is a 7/8 ". I have 2 spray tips #619 and #310. I think the #619 is for heavier paints, and #310 tip is for finish applications. MY QUESTION is what are the available tips that you stock, that will fit this Milwaukee spray gun? Any other information you can provide will be appreciated.

[@AirlessDiscounterInternational]

Hi, Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately, we do not know and work with this brand. Best for you is to consult the manufacturer and check all thread sizes. Guns/hoses threads for Graco and Wagner are 1/4" today. Guns/Tip holders threads are 7/8" and so extensions are therefor 7/8". Thanks for your understanding. Airless Discounter team

[@shevinsacrey5862]

Hi, thanks alot for the video it's great. I've got a few questions/requests for you. Are you able to go into a bit more detail, or point me in the direction of any videos you have that do, on the wagner tips that you showed that have the HEA marking on it with the soft spray technology. Also you spoke of how the guards are able to work on all the guns, so what are your thoughts on say using a different guard with different tips on the gun of a different brand, this is something I might have to do as I've got a wagner airless sprayer but it's quite hard to find tips for it in my city, while we have quite a decent availability for titan and graco sprayers. Or do you know if any of the spray tips are interchangable with the guards of different brands?

[@AirlessDiscounterInternational]

Hi, Thanks for your question. Regarding the HEA tips, you'll find the product link below as well as the blog article related to it : - Shop : www.airless-discounter.de/airless-spray-tips - Blog : www.airless-discounter.de/news/airless-nozzle/ For the compatibilities ; Which low pressure tip would you like to use with which gun ?

[@AirlessDiscounterInternational]

Hi Masood, the data sheet did also recommend thinning the material for Airless spraying. Did you try that too? This material also has a drying time - dry to touch of 20 minutes, which also might be contributing to the clogging issue. Let us know if thinning the material helped.

Can I use the HEA tips with a graco magnum X5?

[@AirlessDiscounterInternational]

No, the Wagner HEA tips are used for the Wagner Control Pro models 250 and 350. There are HEA "Pro" tips that are compatible, but please first check which spray tips you have - since both HEA and HEA Pro tips from Wagner are green but the cylinders are different sizes.

[@jlai3861]

HEA tips that has part number start with 353-xxx is for Wagner or Titan HEA gun only , they are not interchangeable. HEA tips with part number 554-xxx in Europe or 330-xxx in North America are ones that can be used on some other guns.

[@Tdawg90]

whats the significance of the different guards to the different tips? is it a matter of simply fitting or something more? Same goes with the insert valve thingy that comes with the tips, and the gasket

What kind of solvent you use for cleaning a Wagner 350 m after oil base paint ? And the oil for long storage can be either 10w30 or cooking oil ( olive oil ) ? Thank you in advance

[@AirlessDiscounterInternational]

Hi, Please don't use any cooking oil for your machine. It is not a french fry machine. You'll use some dissolvant you'll find in supermarket or DIY shops to clean it. What important is for you to wash the pump inside with water after you used these products to clean the oil base paint. This way you'll protect you pump a little longer. Kind regards, Airless Discounter team

[@alexpap708]

Airless Discounter International thank you for your information. So if I understand correctly is you clean first with the dissolvment and then with the water. As far as the cooking oil, it’s an advise from Wagner to use cooking oil or 10w30 for long storage. It is written on the manual of the product ( 350 m) Thanks again you are doing great job !!!
