What airless spray tips works best? Get the perfect finish!

What happens here

Unlike other tips, HEA tips are specifically designed to be run at low pressures, ranging from 800 to 1100 PSI. Running them at higher pressures will result in significant overspray and a poor spray pattern. To ensure accurate pressure, use a Titan HEA gauge, which has a green indicator point to show the correct PSI range for these tips. This gauge can be attached to the pump for convenience, as attaching it to the gun can make the gun feel heavier and obstruct movement. Knowing the precise pressure at the gun is vital for all tips, especially HEA tips, to function correctly.

Goal: Operate HEA tips at a low pressure of 800-1100 PSI, using an HEA gauge to ensure the correct setting and prevent overspray or poor performance.

pressure at now i'm going to talk a little bit about the ata tips so one of the confusion about ata tips it's a green tip this is these are not fine finish tips you don't want to confuse them with graco green tips that are fine finish tips this is a high production tip eta stands for high efficiency airless tip these tips have to be run in low pressures if you don't run them at low pressures you're going to have all kinds of issues with the tip not spraying right huge amounts of overspray the pressure range is going to be somewhere between 800 and 1100 psi is where you're going to get you know the proper spray pattern with an hea tip they do say they last longer from my experience experiences they don't last longer because they run under pressure but they give a nice feathered edge and on the interiors that's exactly what you want when it comes to knowing that pressure titan makes a gauge called an he8 gauge that has a green indicator point that tells you exactly where your pressure is on your palm so you know you're running the proper pressure if you're running like a 410 or 440 that doesn't have a pressure gauge you need to know the pressure at your gun to get these things to run correctly and give you the proper spray pattern so what is a titan ata gauge you might add that that's a gauge that you would attach to your pump or you would attach to your gun to know the exact psi that you're actually running your sprayer at or your gun at the heat tips have to be run at a specific price pressure right between 800 and 1100 psi to function properly i like to run the pressure indicator that gauge at my pump because putting it on the gun it makes the gun a lot more a lot heavier and it just gets in the way i attach it to the pump and you can you can use it for any tips because i like to with my production tips with my fine finish tips even hga tips i like to know what the pressure is um that i'm running it with all my tips not just he8 tips so it's good to have on all your pumps and your pumps that don't have like a digital readout you get one of those hca gauges for um 50 feet of hose there's typically about a 50 to 75 drop in psi from the hose to the gun so if you wanted it to um run at 100 psi you're probably going to be wrong wanting to run at 1170 psi to get the proper pressure at the gun
