Airless Spraying Tip Guards! Spraying with The Idaho Painter.

What happens here

The presenter provides a close-up visual comparison of an F-thread (11/16") guard and a G-thread (7/8") guard. The F-thread guard is noticeably smaller in internal diameter. He explains that older guns might have F-threads, but new F-thread guns are rare. This visual distinction helps users identify the thread type by sight if they have both guards available.

Goal: A side-by-side visual comparison shows the size difference between the smaller F-thread (11/16") and the larger G-thread (7/8") guards.
