Airless Paint Spray Tips

Buying guide
Airless spray tips are the replaceable nozzles of an airless paint sprayer; the tip sets the width of the fan and the flow of paint. The IMPA lines in this group are Graco standard tips identified by their three-digit size code (413, 415, 417, 613 and so on).[1]
Tips wear and block in use, so they are re-ordered with each paint campaign. The bosun or chief officer raises them, often with the paint order, for hull, deck and tank coating work.
How to specify it
Order by the tip code. The first digit times five gives the fan width in centimetres with the gun held 30 cm from the surface; the last two digits are the orifice size in thousandths of an inch, so a 517 gives a 25 cm fan through a 0.017 in orifice. Larger orifices pass more material and suit thicker coatings.[1]
Match the tip to the coating: Graco advises choosing it by the viscosity of the material and the flow wanted, and the right tip also lasts longer. The coating maker’s data sheet gives the recommended orifice; state the gun and tip guard in use so the supplier sends the matching tip series.[1]
Rules and certificates
The Code of Safe Working Practices: airless spray-painting equipment is particularly hazardous because paint is ejected at very high pressure and can penetrate the skin or cause serious eye injury; follow the manufacturer’s instructions, wear a combination suit, gloves, hood, eye protection and a suitable respirator, and do not exceed the hose’s recommended working pressure.[2]
To clear a blocked nozzle, lock the gun trigger closed and relieve system pressure before removing the nozzle; if it is reversible, blow through it, keeping clear of the nozzle mouth.[2]
Questions buyers ask
- What does the number on a Graco spray tip mean?
- First digit × 5 = fan width in cm at 30 cm from the surface; last two digits = orifice size in thousandths of an inch. A 619 gives a 30 cm fan through a 0.019 in orifice.
- Which tip size should I order for marine coatings?
- The one the coating’s data sheet recommends. Thicker materials need larger orifices; the fan width is chosen for the size of the surface being painted.
