Whip Hose for Airless Paint Sprayer FAQ: Airless Spraying Tips? #airlessprayer

What happens here

The speaker demonstrates a test setup by connecting a 25-foot airless hose whip to an airless sprayer, and then attaching an even smaller diameter Swedish Exitflex whip to the end of the 25-foot hose and then to a paint gun. He explains that this dual-whip configuration led to significant pressure-related issues with the airless sprayer, including the sprayer not building up proper pressure, not sensing the correct pressure, and causing paint to spit when the trigger was pulled.

Goal: Identify and demonstrate the problems caused by combining a 25-foot whip hose with another smaller whip hose.

hose so i've done some testing out here i had this hose hooked up and then i had a swedish whip hooked up to this hose done some testing right here here's our sweetest witch whip which is even smaller diameter inside diameter than our lime green hose hooking these two whips up caused all kinds of pressure related issues with the airless sprayer not building up the proper pressure not sensing the proper pressure and then pulling the trigger and getting spits on it so the test putting it to the test you do not want to put a exit flex whip on the end of this hose because this hose actually is a whip in itself it's just 25 feet
