WARNING
Always turn off the power, air, and fluid supply to the gun, and trigger the gun to relieve system pressure before
installing or removing the air cap/fluid nozzle assembly. This will help reduce the risk of serious injury, including
splashing in the eyes or on the skin, or electric shock.
NOTE: Refer to your air spray gun instruction manual to install the air cap and fluid nozzle. If you do not have a
copy of the manual, copies are available at no charge from Graco Inc.

Viscosity
Light: 20 centipoise at 21_C (70_F)
Medium: 70 centipoise at 21_C (70_F)
Heavy: 160, 260 centipoise at 21_C (70_F)
High Solids: Over 360 centipoise at 21_C (70_F)
Centipoise = centistokes x fluid specific gravity.
NOTE: Refer to the Viscosity Conversion Chart on
the back cover to convert to other units of measurement.

2. The thick vertical line in each graph represents the
target flow rate for that nozzle size. Find the graph
that has the marked point closest to the thick
vertical line. This is the recommended nozzle size
for your application. Significantly exceeding the
target flow rate may result in lower spray performance due to excessive fluid viscosity.
Use the procedure below to select the proper fluid
nozzle for your application.
1. For each of the fluid nozzle graphs, find the point
on the graph corresponding to your desired fluid
flow rate and viscosity. Mark the point on each
graph with a pencil.
3. From the marked point, move across to the vertical
scale to find the required fluid pressure. If the
required pressure is too high, then use the next
largest nozzle size. If the fluid pressure is too low
(< 0.35 bar, 3.5 kPa, 5 psi), then use the next
smallest nozzle size.
