Tip Selection
Selecting Tip Hole Size
Tips come in a variety of hole sizes for spray-
ing a range of fluids. Your sprayer includes an
0.015 in (0.38 mm) tip for use in most spraying
applications. Use the following table to deter-
mine the range of recommended tip hole sizes
for each fluid type. If you need a tip other than
the one supplied, see the Reversible Tip
Selection Chart on page 14.
HINTS:
• As you spray, the tip wears and enlarges.
Starting with a tip hole size smaller than the
maximum will allow you to spray within the
rated flow capacity of the sprayer.
• Maximum tip hole sizes supported by the
sprayer:
– dx: 0.015 in. (0.38 mm)
– XR5: 0.015 in. (0.38 mm)
– XR7: 0.017 in. (0.43 mm)
– XR9: 0.019 in. (0.48 mm)
