Gun Selection
Conventional Guns
Excellent atomization and high production
rates typically with some reduction in transfer
efficiency.
HVLP Guns
An HVLP gun is a high transfer efficiency gun
which limits the air pressure at the air cap to
10 psi (0.07 MPa, 0.7 bar) maximum. In some
areas, an HVLP gun is required for compliance
with environmental standards.
Compliant Guns
A compliant gun is a high transfer efficiency
gun which has been tested to have a transfer
efficiency greater than or equal to HVLP guns.
The Graco compliant guns have no restrictions
on air cap pressures, but the gun inlet pres-
sure must remain under the maximum compli-
ant pressure shown on pages 3-4 to remain in
compliance.
PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD
Fluid from the gun/dispense valve, leaks, or ruptured components can splash in the
eyes or on skin and cause serious injury.
•Follow Pressure Relief Procedure in this manual, when you stop spraying and
before cleaning, checking, or servicing equipment.
• Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.
• Check hoses, tubes, and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immedi-
ately.
TOXIC FLUID OR FUMES HAZARD
Toxic fluids or fumes can cause serious injury or death if splashed in the eyes or on

• Store hazardous fluid in approved containers, and dispose of it according to appli-
cable guidelines.
• Always wear impervious gloves when spraying or cleaning equipment.
