What happens here
The rubber/metal washer, also known as the seat, located inside the nozzle cradles the tip. Some guards, like those from Titan, may allow this washer to fall out when new. However, after it's been used a few times with paint, the paint can help 'seat' it in place. Graco guards, on the other hand, are designed with a 'snap-in' feature and a lock/unlock mechanism, which helps retain the seat, preventing it from falling out. It's generally recommended to use components (guards, tips, seats) from the same manufacturer to ensure proper fit and functionality.
Goal: Nozzle seats (rubber/metal washers) can fall out of some sprayer guards when new, while others like Graco's have a design that helps them stay in place. Always use components from the same manufacturer for best fit and retention.
