Airless Spraying Tip Guards! Spraying with The Idaho Painter.

What happens here

The presenter demonstrates that most standard airless spray tips, regardless of brand, are compatible with a G-thread guard. He takes a Graco RAC 5 tip and inserts it into a Bedford G-thread guard, showing it functions properly. He then repeats this with a TriTech tip, a Titan HEA tip, and a Bedford tip, demonstrating that they all fit and work in the same G-thread guards. This highlights the broad compatibility of tips with non-proprietary G-thread guards.

Goal: This step shows that most standard airless tips (excluding proprietary ones like Graco RAC X) are interchangeable and will fit into any G-thread guard.

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 this is where people ask me well will my graco or my titan gun you know use graco products you can screw a graco rack x guard on there but it has to have a rack x tip to go along with it you cannot take a rack guard and put tips from any other manufacturer in there they are proprietary guards and tips they will not line up it will not seat in their property and it will not work even graco rack five tips graco wrap five tips will not work in a rack x guard and that's probably the reason why orr is the reason why i highly recommend you do not purchase and use rack rack x guards this is the graco blue guard because you're very limited to what you can use you are limited to only using graco rack x tips
