AIRLESSCO SL 6250 Service & Operation Manual - Tip Selection Guide
12
13
Thickness of the paint coat per stroke is determined by
spray tip "fan width", rate of the spray gun movement, and
distance to surface. Two tips having the same tip size, but
different pattern widths will deliver the same amount of
paint over a different area (wider or narrower strip).
A spray tip with a narrow pattern width makes it easy to
spray in tight places.
Spray tip selection is based on paint viscosity, paint type, &
job needs. For light viscosities (thin paints), use a smaller
tip; heavier (thicker paints), use a larger tip size. Spray
tip size is based on how many gallons of paint per minute
can be sprayed through the tip. Do not use a tip larger
than maximum pump flow rate or capacity the sprayer can
accommodate. Pump flow rate is measured in gallons per
minute (GPM).
TIP IDENTIFICATION:
1ST 3-DIGITS identifies it as a REV-TIP
TM
for airless
paint spraying (P.N. 560-xxx) or a REV-TIP
TM
for airless
line striping (P.N. 562-xxxST).
4TH DIGIT is the fan width - the number is half the fan
width, e.g., 5 means a 10” fan.
5TH AND 6TH digits are for the orifice size and is
measured in thousandths of an inch, e.g., 17 = 0.017 inch
- The higher the number, the larger the tip.
*Pump will support tip worn to next larger size.

TIP SELECTION GUIDE
During use, especially with latex paint, high pressure will
cause the orifice to grow larger. This destroys the pattern.
Replace tips before they become excessively worn. Worn
tips waste paint, cause overspray, make cutting-in difficult,
and decreases sprayer performance.
