Airless Spraying Tip Guards! Spraying with The Idaho Painter.

What happens here

The presenter illustrates how a Titan RX Pro gun, which has a G-thread 7/8" connection, can accept G-thread guards from different brands, including Graco RAC 5, Graco RAC X, Titan Standard High Performance, older Titan models, and Bedford. He then shows that various tips (Graco RAC 5, Tritech, Titan HEA, Bedford) can be inserted into a G-thread guard. He clarifies that while different brands of G-thread guards fit a G-thread gun, proprietary tips (like Graco RAC X tips) are only compatible with their corresponding proprietary guards.

Goal: This step demonstrates the broad compatibility of G-thread (7/8") guards and tips from various manufacturers with a modern G-thread airless spray gun.

over 20 years all the guns i got i got multiple manufacturers from graco to titan to dp airless to spray tac to uh i mean multiple other different manufacturers i have and every single gun has a g thread 7 8 thread gun on it and so that's going to be the standard guard that you'll probably be using if you have a really old gun you might be getting an f 11 16 thread but here's a gun right here this is a g threaded gun right here now i can take all these guards i've got a graco iraq 5 guard right here i've got a graco rack x guard i've got a titan standard high performance guard and i've got an older model titan guard and i've got two bedford guards right here i really like these guards from bedford right here they cost significantly less than other guards bedford manufactures not oem products but products that meet all the specifications of oem products and they're significantly cheaper in price and so i use their guards so i got a g threaded guard right here from bedford and it's marked right on the thing it says g thread 7 8 threaded on there so this g thread will thread onto any new standard gun that you'll find probably across the world right here so there's your g threaded guard threaded right on there 7 hd thread now i can take all these other guards and the question i get is uh quite often on my um platform or at my store is will my great go tips and guards work on a titan gun or any other gun so here's a graco gun if you have a 7 8 threaded g-threaded guard it's going to thread onto your gun no matter what manufacturer it is and that's the standard so it screws on there so that's a graco rack five guard this is a graco rack x guard screws right on there they're all gonna screw on to that guard i can put my my bedford guard on here's the thing um that you'll want to know i could take a bedford guard and bedford doesn't sell sprayers they sell all kinds of parts for sprayers and tips i can take a rack 5 tip it's going to go into a bedford guard and function and work properly i can take here's a tritech tip this is from tritech airless sprayers their guns have seven hg threads on them also that will work in there i can take a titan he a tip that's going to work and they're just fine into this g-threaded 7hd threaded guard so depending on how i want it to shoot there it's set up right there so just to show you now i can take this off now this is the one kicker i have a graco rack x guard right here it's g thread it's going to thread right on there and…
