What happens here

The presenter attaches a dual-head tip extension to the spray gun. This extension allows two spray tips to run simultaneously, doubling the spray width and improving efficiency. He explains that running two 515 tips with this extension creates a 12-inch fan pattern, compared to a single 12-inch tip (like a 1221) which would require more power and cause more overspray. The dual-head extension also helps control overspray and can be converted to a single-tip operation by turning one tip sideways. He mentions preferring a two-finger trigger gun for better control and grip. He then puts on his respirator and gloves, confirming the sprayer is ready to go.

Goal: Equip the sprayer with a dual-head tip extension for efficient application and ensure personal safety.

two tips on this gun at the same time so it gives me a significantly wider pattern but i can run smaller tips also so i'm running two 515s so and i'll get a 12 inch pattern versus running a 12 inch um like a 12 21 it'll give me a lot more overspray so this is going to control overspray another advantage of this is if i want to just run one tip all i got to do is turn one tip back um sideways and the tip is now off i could run one tip or two tips so i've got two tips twice the distance spread this is called the um it's the high dual head tip extension so you'll be able to spray especially you'll see when i'm spraying these soffits under these overhangs it's going to make it a lot faster to spray because i don't like looking up and causing my neck to just hurt all day long got the gopro action going on so we can see what we're doing while we're spraying so it's ready to go my pressure's set gonna get my respirator get my gloves on i always like wearing gloves because the gun if it's sitting on the sun it could get hot gloves also give me better grip when it comes to holding on to the gun when you're spraying all day long i do like two finger triggers can't stand four finger triggers because you need two fingers to control your gun and then two fingers to pull the trigger so if you got a four finger gun get rid of it and get a two finger gun all right sprayers ready to go the other thing is is running two 515s a little pump like this can handle a width um fan width at 12 inches with two 515s but a little pump like this would not be able to run at 1221. so another advantage um to this um the dual head tip extension being able to use it with smaller pumps i'm going to go back and we're going to spray start with a soffit in the back i think i got enough hose to reach back there i think i got about 150 feet of hose and let's get rocking and rolling two high production um tips titan h um titan high production 5 15 tips is what we're rocking today so let's go [Music]
