What happens here

The video begins with an introduction to the necessary components for operating an airless sprayer. You will need a RAX guard and a Rack X tip. For spraying trim, a green fine finish tip, typically a 310 (6-inch fan, 0.010 orifice), is recommended. For general painting, a blue RAX tip, such as a 517 (10-inch fan, 0.017 orifice), is typically used. The first digit of the tip number (e.g., 5 in 517) represents the fan width (5 x 2 inches = 10 inches), and the last two digits (e.g., 17 in 517) represent the orifice size.

Goal: Select the correct spray tip and guard for the painting task.

Tools and materials

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 to be doing. We start off with the
