Airless Spraying Tip Guards! Spraying with The Idaho Painter.

What happens here

The presenter advises viewers to choose non-proprietary G-thread (7/8") guards, such as those from Bedford, to ensure compatibility with a wider range of tips from different manufacturers. This approach offers greater flexibility and cost-effectiveness compared to proprietary systems like Graco RAC X, which restrict users to specific brand-matched tips. He encourages viewers to explore other videos on his channel for more detailed information on tip sizing and selection for various painting projects.

Goal: The video concludes by recommending the use of non-proprietary G-thread guards for maximum versatility and directing viewers to additional resources for in-depth tip selection.

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 is this guard actually when you turn it and to spray it locks itself into place and it does not come out so if your guard is not tightened onto your gun you'll very tightly if you turn a gun the tip's not going to fall out and that is you know a plus if you have a brand new tip um i'll take a brand um see if one's got a seat in it this one's got a seat but it's not brand new and it may stay in there titan guards they do not lock in the titan guard so i'll put a tip in there and i'll see if it'll fall out if i turn it upside down once they've been used a few times they usually are snug in there so that's not that's snug in there but it will you can actually pull it out when it's in the spray position it does not lock into place so there's no locking mesh mechanism that keeps it locked into place so that is one of the benefits to this guard but still i would stick to a non-proprietary guard that way i can use you know any tip that i want to use with the gun itself so there you have it the difference between an f thread and a g thread hopefully i answered your question you know about threads here now i got tips of multiple videos and videos that go in depth on tips tip sizing and what tips you should use where on my youtube channel pain life tv you can go search out and find that or i'll leave a link to that one of the latest videos that i did really explaining tip sizing and what tip you should use where in detail but if you got any questions or comments about this subject just leave it down in the comment section below um don't forget if you enjoyed the video if it's helped you at all please consider giving us a thumbs up it really helps encourage us to continue making more videos to help you guys out and please subscribe to the channel hit the notification bell that way you get notified every time i come out with a new video it's simple easy to do doesn't cost you a dime out
