What Airless Spray Tip Is Right For You? What Do The Numbers Mean?

What happens here

For faster application on new construction exteriors where overspray is less of a concern (e.g., houses not yet lived in, surrounded by dirt), larger tips like the 619 (0.019-inch orifice, 12-inch fan) or even 1221 (0.021-inch orifice, 24-inch fan) can be used. These tips allow for a higher volume of paint to be sprayed, significantly increasing speed. However, using too large an orifice can lead to runs if the paint product isn't suitable or if applying too much paint too quickly.

Goal: Understand how larger tips are used for speed in new construction projects.

few years I used a 619 and the 619 is going to give you a big fan a bigger fan width and it's going to be a bigger oversiz so it's going to throw out more pain if you feel like you're going too slow with a 515 you want to speed it up uh going to a 619 is going to give you the ability to go faster you know eventually I came to you know the speed that I need to go with a 515 the overlap I need to go with a 515 and it worked really well it's a great tip to teach teach new people to use also on exteriors when it came to new construction exteriors we actually were even using 122s cuz you you don't you're not concerned about overspray cuz it's just dirt everywhere most of the houses aren't even painted there's um no people living in the houses it's new construction and so you can actually paint extremely fast you know with a 1221 but we're talking you know actually repaints um a lot of liability with overspray with um close by neighbors you know um vehicle um in the neighborhood and stuff like that so 515 you know to me is um my recommended tip size for doing next year repaints for the body
