I was expecting a tighter spray fan. I seemed more than 6". Spraying the type of picket fence I have I needed a smaller spray fan to eliminate waste. I used Behr barn and fence paint and this paint clogged a lot. I didn't use a pre-mesh filter because its messy. My Krause & Becker sprayer supplied good pressure and when it clogged it was hard to reverse the tip because of the pressure probably. All in all it was ok.

Spike,
Sorry to hear about your experience. The 313 tip will give a 6" to 8" fan at 12" distance from the surface. Be sure you are at the correct distance. If the paint clogs a lot in the future, I would recommend straining.
Thank you,

I had a problem with the paint gun squirting paint every time I released the trigger so I'm not sure if I purchased the correct tip size for the paint I purchased.

Michel, When the gun keeps spraying, even after releasing the trigger, the issue would be the needle in the gun. Try cleaning the gun first. If that doesn't solve the issue, the needle or gun would need to be replaced. If your sprayer is still within the warranty period, please call us at 844-241-9499 to discuss this. Regards, Graco Technical Service GracoInc

Hello Shanuk1980,

We are sorry to hear that you are dealing with some clogging issues. By the sounds of it, the tip you are using is too small for the paint. Without knowing the material you are spraying, we would suggest trying a 313 or a 315 tip. If you want to discuss your options with us, don't hesitate to call our Tech Support team at 888.541.9788 M-F 7:30-5:30 CST.

    Works just as well as the 515 which comes standard with the Graco sprayers. Stain is atomized and leaves a smooth application which dries fast in almost any environment because it's so thin. The ability of Graco tips to be reversed for clog clearing instead of manual removal saves a ton of time, particularly if you're on a ladder or in a place where you'd need to leave before you could work on clearing the clog. Latest use of this specific tip was applying Cabot stain to a 1yo treated deck and 12yo untreated outdoor furniture. Every piece looks the same because of the consistent application. This would be near impossible with stain when using a brush.

        Works well
        The tip does what it was designed to do. Just have to reverse it more often for cleaning than the 515. Understandable since the opening is much smaller.

                Quality Product
                Gave me the spray pattern I was looking for with a semi-transparent deck stain. The tip that came with the sprayer had too large an opening. Very easy to substitute this tip - less than a minute, It is well made and cleans very easily with soap and water with a water-based stain. I can't speak to oil based. This is my first time with an airless sprayer and after a learning curve I am very pleased with the results. Masking takes longer than with a roller or brush but the application is very fast.

                Graco Paint Tip
                Needed a larger tip for spraying an exterior sealant. This was the largest available. It was easy to install in the handle although the instructions on the package did not indicate how the replacement seal installs.

                  Graco paint tip
                  It was great for a smaller job saved paint because it sprayed lest width. It was also at a good price.

                  Great tip
                  I bought this to spray stain on my new siding. My Harbor Freight sprayer came with a tip that wouldn't spray the thick stuff. This tip fit it perfect and worked great and never clogged.
