What happens here
The rubber/metal washer inside the spray gun nozzle cradles the tip and is crucial for proper function. With certain brands like Graco, the washer tends to 'snap in' and stay firmly in place, even when unscrewed. However, with other brands like Titan, especially when the guard is brand new, the washer (seat) might fall out until it has been used a few times and paint has helped it seat securely. Generally, it is recommended to use the manufacturer's guard with their respective tips to ensure proper fit and retention. If your washer consistently falls out, consider replacing the guard or ensuring it's from the same manufacturer as the tip.
Goal: This step explains differences in how rubber/metal washers are retained within spray gun nozzles between brands like Graco and Titan, and how new components may behave.
