Proper Needle/Nozzle Selection
The spray gun's needle/nozzle kits range in size to pro-
vide different fluid flow rates.
As a general guideline, use the fluid nozzle that will give 
the required flow with the needle fully triggered at a fluid 
pressure of 5-20 psi (0.035 MPa, 3.5 bar - 0.14 MPa. 14 
bar)
For low flow rates or light viscosity fluid, select the 
smaller nozzle sizes.
For high flow rates or high viscosity fluid, select the 
larger nozzle sizes.
For thicker, abrasive fluids, hardened SST needle tips 
and nozzles are recommended.
Gun Selection
HVLP Guns
An HVLP gun is a high transfer efficiency gun that limits 
the air pressure at the air cap to 10 psi (0.07 MPa, 0.7 
bar) maximum. In some areas, an HVLP gun is required 
for compliance with environmental standards.
Compliant Guns
A compliant gun is a high transfer efficiency gun that has 
been tested to have a transfer efficiency greater than or 
equal to HVLP guns. In addition, the compliant air cap 
consumes much less air than the HVLP air cap. 
The Graco compliant guns have no restrictions on air 
cap pressures, but the gun inlet pressure must remain 
under 30 psi (0.21 MPa, 2.1 bar) to remain in compli-
ance.
Airspray Guns
An airspray gun has excellent atomization and high pro-
duction rates typically with some reduction in transfer 
efficiency.
Air Caps

feed, gravity, and siphon feed guns.
