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. See the Air Cap
chart, page 7, for maximum inlet pressures.
6313516C
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. Graco
compliant guns have no restrictions on air cap
pressures. See the Air Cap chart, page 7, for
maximum inlet pressures.
Conventional Guns
An airspray gun has excellent atomization and
high production rates typically with some
reduction in transfer efficiency.
Proper Needle/Nozzle Selection

The spray gun's needle/nozzle kits range in
size to provide 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
(0.035–0.14 MPa, 0.35–1.4 bar).
•For high flow rates or high viscosity fluid,
select the larger nozzle sizes.
•For abrasive fluids, the high wear gun models are recommended.

See the chart to determine air consumption. Add the air consumption values shown for the atomizing air and fan air pressures to get the total air consumption. For example, air cap 24B544 with
20 psi atomizing air pressure uses 3 scfm atomizing air. A 30 psi fan inlet pressure adds 5 scfm
fan air for a total of 8 scfm air consumption.
The Automatic AirPro spray gun can spray
most coatings or finishes currently being used
for automotive, industrial, aerospace, marine,
wood, plastic and architectural applications,
while easily operating from paint delivery systems, such as pressure pots or remote pumps
for production line operation.
The air regulator must have a minimum air flow
capacity of 30 scfm at 100 psi (0.7 MPa, 7.0
bar) air pressure.

•Check and follow all national, state, and
local codes regarding air exhaust velocity
requirements.
4. Install the gun on the manifold, using the
four screws (13). Start the threads of all
four screws. Tighten the front two screws
first, and then tighten the back two. Torque
all four screws evenly to 65 in-lb (7.3 N•m).
Non-circulating System
1. See FIG. 1. Apply anti-seize lubricant to the
threads and mating faces of the manifold
(101), plug (109), and elbow (107), supplied unassembled.
2. Install an elbow (107) in one fluid port of
the manifold (101), and a plug (109) in the
other port.
3. Install the internal plug (19) in the gun fluid
port on the same side as the manifold plug.
4. Connect the fluid supply line to the fluid
inlet elbow (107).
•Check and follow all local safety and fire
codes.
Configure Gun and Manifold
The gun is supplied with an internal fluid plug
and seals (19, 20, 21). To use the gun in a circulating system, remove the internal plug. In a
non-circulating system, leave the plug in place
to minimize flush time.
Circulating System
1. Apply anti-seize lubricant to the threads
and mating faces of the manifold (101) and
the elbows (107), supplied unassembled.
2. Install the elbows (107) in both fluid ports of
the manifold (101).
3. Connect the fluid supply line to one elbow
and the fluid return line to the other. The
manifold fluid ports are reversible.
5. Install the gun on the manifold, using the
four screws supplied. Start the threads of
all four screws. Tighten the front two
screws first, and then tighten the back two.
Torque all four screws evenly to 65 in-lb

Ground Air Compressors and
Hydraulic Power Supplies
Ground the air compressors and hydraulic
power supplies according to the manufacturer
recommendations.
Ground Spray Gun
Ground the spray gun by mounting the manifold to a properly grounded reciprocator, robot,
or stationary mount. Check the electrical resistance between the manifold and a true earth
ground. The resistance must be less than 1
megohm.
Ground Fluid Supply Container
Ground the fluid supply container according to
local code.
Ground Object Being Sprayed
Ground the object that is being sprayed
according to local code.
Ground System
The following grounding instructions are minimum requirements for a system. Your system
may include other equipment or objects that
must be grounded. Check your local electrical
code for detailed grounding instructions for
your area and type of equipment. Your system
must be connected to a true earth ground.
Ground Pump/Fluid Supply
Ground the pump by connecting a ground wire
and clamp between the fluid supply and a true
earth ground as instructed in your separate
pump instruction manual.
Ground Solvent Pails
Ground all solvent pails that are used when
flushing according to local code. Use only
metal pails, which are conductive. Do not place
the pail on a non-conductive surface, such as
paper or cardboard, which interrupts the
grounding continuity.

Stationary Support
To mount the gun on a stationary support
(refer to F
hole layout for your manifold, pages 38-42):
1. Align the manifold with the alignment pins.
Locate alignment pins and holes per the
mounting hole layout.
2. Secure the gun to the support with two M5
x 0.8 capscrews (C). The screws must be
long enough to engage the threaded holes
in the gun manifold to a depth of 1/4 in.

Connect Air Line
NOTE:
•You must install an air pressure regulator (F) on each gun air line to control air
pressure to the gun. See F
•If your regulated air source does not
have a filter, install an air filter (G) on
each air line to ensure a dry, clean air
supply to the gun. Dirt and moisture can
ruin the appearance of your finished
workpiece. See F
IG.6.
•Install a bleed type air shutoff valve (E)
on each gun air supply line, downstream of the gun air regulator, to shut
off air to the gun.
1. For manifolds with a separate ATOM and
FAN port, the gun cylinder, fan, and atomization air must be supplied and regulated
separately. For the manual fan valve manifold, only one supply line is required for
both atomization and fan air.
NOTE: The gun atomizing and fan air inlets
are 3/8 in. O.D. tubing. The cylinder air inlet
accepts 1/4 in. (6.3 mm) O.D. tubing. Use 3/8
in. (9.5 mm) O.D. tubing for fan and atomization air to minimize excessive pressure drop in
the hoses.
IG.6.
Connect Fluid Hose
NOTE:
•Before connecting the fluid line, blow it
out with air and flush it with solvent. Use
solvent that is compatible with the fluid
to be sprayed.
•Install a fluid regulator (L) on the fluid
line to control fluid pressure to the gun.
•Install a fluid shutoff valve (M) to shut off
the fluid supply to the gun.
•Filter the fluid line of coarse particles
and sediment to avoid clogging the fluid
nozzle and causing finishing defects.
Inline fluid filter 24B707 is available.
See Accessories, page 34.
1. Connect the fluid supply hose (J) to the gun
fluid inlet (S), 1/4 npsm thread. See F
2. Connect the other end of the fluid hose (J)
to a regulated fluid supply outlet (M).
3. In a circulating system, connect a
grounded fluid return hose to the gun fluid
outlet (T). See F
IG.8.
In a non-circulating system, remove the
gun fluid outlet fitting (T) and plug the outlet
port with the pipe plug supplied. See F
IG.8.
