Airless Spraying Tip Guards! Spraying with The Idaho Painter.

What happens here

The presenter clarifies what happens if you try to use a G-thread guard on an F-thread gun. Since the F-thread is significantly smaller, the G-thread guard will not thread onto the gun; it will simply slide on and off. This confirms that the two thread types are incompatible for secure attachment, highlighting the importance of matching the guard's thread type to the gun's thread type. He re-emphasizes that only the thread on the guards is different, allowing a wide range of tips to fit into the correctly threaded guard.

Goal: If a gun has an F-thread, a G-thread guard will simply slide on and off without threading, indicating incompatibility for secure attachment.

What they say

Hide

is the threads on them and them threading onto a gun so now this would thread onto this bedford guard would thread on to an f-threaded 11 16 gun and any tip is going to go into that guard so you can run i guess i got to clarify that not any tip that's back to the kicker a graco rack x tip will not fit in either of these guards it simply won't fit in any standard guards out there the diameter of this tip is a lot bigger now my suspicion is graco did that so you would have to only buy their tips and guards together and you couldn't cross use them and so it's making a proprietary product that you can't use with anybody else's product the one thing nice i gotta say about this guard
