3 MUST HAVE Airless Spray Tips!
What happens here
Titan's green HEA (High Efficiency Airless) tips are introduced, distinguishing them from other manufacturers' green fine finish tips. HEA tips are designed to reduce overspray by allowing operation at significantly lower pressures (800 to 1000 PSI at the gun, compared to 2200 PSI for high production tips). They provide a fine, 'feathered' edge rather than a sharp edge, which is excellent for controlling overspray and preventing lap marks or 'fingering' on smooth (Level 5) walls and ceilings. The HEA 619 tip is specifically recommended for ceilings and walls, offering dramatic improvements in spray quality and ease of application without visible lap marks. It's also suitable for outdoor projects like staining fences on windy days where overspray control is crucial.
Goal: Learn how HEA tips reduce overspray and provide a quality finish, especially on smooth surfaces.
