What happens here

Begin by understanding the components of your airless sprayer and selecting the appropriate spray tip. You will need a RAX guard and a compatible RAX tip. For detailed work like spraying trim, a green fine finish tip such as a '310' is often used, providing a 6-inch fan width and a 0.010-inch orifice. For general spraying of broader surfaces, a blue RAX tip like a '517' is typical, offering a 10-inch fan width and a 0.017-inch orifice. Remember that the first digit of the tip number (multiplied by two) indicates the approximate fan width in inches when spraying 12 inches from the surface, and the last two digits represent the orifice size in thousandths of an inch.

Goal: Prepare necessary tips and understand their specifications.

BNK Painting in Boise, Idaho. We're going to give you a quick demonstration on how to run an airless sprayer. To start the task off, what you'll need when you wet your sprayer is you're going to need a RAX guard and you'll need a Rack X tip. And if you're going to be spraying trim, you'll want a green fine finish tip. And typically, we use a 310 or you'll want to use a blue RAX tip. And we typically use a 517. The first number, the five is the fan width, how wide the spray is going to be. So the 310 will be a 6 in fan. The orifice size is the last two digits, a 10. The 517 has an orifice size of 17. And the 17's larger than the 310. So you would want either one of these tips or both of them depending on the job you're going
