Trouble Shooting Airless Paint Sprayers

What happens here

To prepare for opening the sprayer's lower section and prevent paint from staining the work area, a drop cloth is laid out. The lower intake section, which houses the ball valve, is typically hand-tightened on most airless sprayers, allowing for removal without specialized tools. John demonstrates unscrewing this section by hand to gain access to the piston and ball valve assembly.

Goal: Safely remove the lower intake section of the sprayer.

Tools and materials

  • Airless Sprayer — The main equipment being disassembled
  • Drop Cloth — Protecting the work area from paint drips

so there's paint just dripping off cuz there's paint on the tube but there's no paint actually flowing out of the prime tube and he's got the prime knob pointing down and that's prime so we know it's not priming no paint is flowing through here so my initial thoughts were that something is stuck on the plane by the valve on pain valve itself so maybe some paint film that was built up on this tube or something smaller than the rock screen got through the intake tube and stopped and clogged that ball and it's interesting we've had weird things like a peanut blade of grass come through the intake tube and get in there and get stuck between the ball the blade of grass is stuck there and that would stop the ball from falling down in CD and they got this little round ball like a marble in there and that things just not seeding and that could be one of the things so we're gonna begin taking this apart and we're gonna show you just the simple process of troubleshooting that unfortunately there's no easy clean way to doing there to get paint on your hands we're on a tile form right here we were sitting on you know red laws in the paper but it's gonna be a good idea to have a drop cloth because when you take this off your paint is going to come off so I'm gonna grab a drop off set that under there and we're gonna show you how simple it is to just check that ball and see what and we're gonna show you what we find in there if we find anything so a couple simple tools that you may need for repairing your sprayer is a crescent wrench a small pair of needle nose pliers or tweezers some piston loop or tear cell look loop to lubricate your parts before putting your sprayer back together and don't forget if you enjoy our videos or the videos series what we put out please consider subscribing to our Channel check us out on Instagram and Facebook because we've got more cool tips and tricks like this that we're posting all the time subscribe BAM myself a drop off I'm just gonna want to lay this drop cloth out right here the paint got on the tile floor it easily just wipes right off no big deal but it really looks good to the customer if the customer walks in everything's sitting on a drop cloth the original customer around this house we're working on another multi-million dollar home here customers gone for a week so we're not worrying about that but here we go so we're gonna begin the process of
