5 AMAZING Airless Sprayer Tips on SprayGuns!

What happens here

Observe the unique feature of the Graco Rack X guard: when the tip is inserted and twisted into the spray position, it locks into place, preventing it from accidentally falling out. In contrast, many other guards, including Farbmex, some Titan, and Tri-Tech guards, lack this locking mechanism. The tip in these non-locking guards can slide in and out freely, even when positioned for spraying. This means you need to be cautious to prevent the tip from dislodging during use or cleaning.

Goal: Be aware that some guards, like the Graco Rack X, feature a locking mechanism that secures the tip in the spray position. Other guards may not have this feature, allowing the tip to slide out if not carefully handled.

What they say

kind of um but this is the the what's interesting the Graco here's a Graco um rack and a Graco Rack 5. So, the Graco Rack 5 tip, they will work together, but a Graco Rack 5 tip will not work into um a Graco Rack Guard. You have to have a Rack X tip. The one thing I really, really like about the Graco Rackex guards is when they lock, the tip will not when it twists and lock and we're in the spray position, it's locked in there. It will not come out. There is no other guard system here that has a tip where it goes into the guard and when it's in the spray position, it's locked in there. So, for instance, um here's a rack five goes in the rack. It it will come right out when it's in the spray position. We will show you this is um this is a the China brand and it Well, actually, you know what? Here's a China brand. I've never messed around with this one. It does lock in position. and you learn something new every day. A cheap China one. So, my assumption was wrong, but a Farbax, it doesn't lock in. You can see it goes straight in. So, the tip can easily fall out. And I'll put it into a Titan guard right here. It doesn't lock in. Goes straight in. Now, here's a um this is a Tri-C tip. I really like Triex guards. I like their tips. They're really nice tips, but once again, they don't lock in in the spray position. it will come right out. It doesn't lock in. It's interesting because they're made to actually like they should lock in, but it doesn't have the locking mechanism. So, there's a little bit about, you know, tip combination, guard combinations, and the compatibility and how to get them to
