Understanding Tip Numbering: Fan Width and Orifice Size

to are three-digit numbers. And they refer to the fan width in inches. So if I'm uh calling out a 621 tip, the first number is a six, which is the fan width in inches times 2. So the 6 multiplied by two is 12. So, this blue tip, a 621, will actually throw a 12 in fan out. That's how far the fan width of a gun when you're actually spraying will actually cover. On a fine finish tip, the tip itself is a 210. So, the first number is a two multiply by two, which is four, and that gives you a 4 inch fan. So, it's a lot narrower of a fan. The last two digits re the last two digits refer to the orifice size. And the larger the number, the larger the orifice, the more paint it throws out. So a 210, the orifice is a 10. A 621, the orifice is a 21. So these fine finish tips don't throw out nearly as much paint as these rack 621 tips. And that's why they actually create a finer finish than the larger tips. And those are the actual tips that we use for 90% of all of our interior and exterior painting. Typically, when you rent a sprayer, they're going to they're
