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.

these paints anymore can you talk about the rubbers no can you talk about the rubber / metal washer inside the nozzle that cradles the tip I have one nozzle and where this washer just falls out other nozzles seem to hold it in firm are they a universal size so you have I know this you have tighten guards and you have great Bogaerts and we'll just kind of do the comparison I know the Graco guards until you screwed it in and use it a couple times it kind of may be some pain or something I mean like seats in there when it's bad nude that little seat X if you unscrew up a moment it falls out the great goal that little seed has a tendency to stay in there and I kind of like snap in and it stays in it never falls out and think that the same the great goat tips when you turn on they actually are unturn them unlock them they have a lock in a non lock so that it actually won't fall out if it's not screwed onto a gun and yeah generally just use the right manufacturers stuff with the same guard and that's gonna help you a lot of the way but yeah it's gonna fall out until you tighten it on there sometimes it does anyway and it's just it's I just got a great ghost sprayer not commercial
