INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important warnings
and information.
READ AND KEEP FOR REFERENCE.
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
the lowest fluid pressure.
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.
NOTE:
D To help select the proper needle/nozzle size, a fluid
pressure gauge may be connected temporarily to
the gun fluid inlet to determine the fluid pressure.
See Accessories, page 28.
D See page 17 for troubleshooting information.

The Delta Spray HVLP spray gun was designed to
produce the highest quality finish with today’s fluids as
well as the Low V.O.C. (volatile organic compound)
fluids of tomorrow.
This 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 any paint delivery
system, including cups, pressure pots, or remote
pumps for production line operation.
The spray gun typically utilizes 40 psi (280 kPa, 2.8
bar) inbound air pressure to produce high quality paint
finishes at 10 psi (70 kPa, 0.7 bar) atomizing air pressure.
The air regulator must have a minimum air flow
capacity of 30 scfm at 100 psi (0.7 MPa, 7 bar) air
pressure. Refer to the Pressure Drop Charts, page
11.
Ventilate the Spray Booth
WARNING
To prevent hazardous concentrations of
toxic and/or flammable vapors, spray
only in a properly ventilated spray booth.
Do not operate the spray gun unless
ventilation fans are operating.
Check and follow all of the National,
State and Local codes regarding air ex-
haust velocity requirements.
Check and follow all local safety and fire codes.

Setup
1. Connect the Air Line
NOTE:
D You must install an air pressure regulator (F) on the
gun air line to control air pressure to the gun. See
Fig. 2.
D If your regulated air source does not have a filter,
install an air filter (G) on the air line to ensure a dry,
clean air supply to the gun. Dirt and moisture can
ruin the appearance of your finished workpiece.
See Fig. 2.
D Use a 5/16 inch (7.9 mm) I.D. air hose to minimize
excessive pressure drop in the hose. See the
Pressure Drop Chart on page 11 for the expected
pressure drops through a 25 ft. (7.625 m) hose.
A. Connect the air hose (D) to the 1/4 npsm gun air
inlet (C).
2. Connect the Fluid Hose
NOTE:
D Before connecting the fluid line, blow it out with air
and flush it with solvent. Use solvent which is
compatible with the fluid to be sprayed.
D Install a fluid regulator (L) on the fluid line to control
fluid pressure to the gun. See Fig. 4.
D Filter the fluid line of coarse particles and sediment
to avoid clogging the fluid nozzle and causing
finishing defects.
A. Connect the fluid hose (J) to the gun fluid inlet (B)
3/8–18 npsm [R 3/8–19] compound thread.

3. Flush the Spray Gun.
Before putting any paint through the spray gun, flush
the gun out with a solvent that is compatible with the
fluid to be sprayed, using the lowest possible fluid
pressure and a grounded metal container.

WARNING
PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD
To reduce the risk of a serious injury whenever you
are instructed to relieve pressure, follow the Pres-sure Relief Procedure on page 12.
7035A
6. Adjust the Spray Pattern
WARNING
COMPONENT RUPTURE HAZARD
Do not exceed the 100 psi (0.7 MPa,
7 bar) maximum fluid and air pres-
sure of this gun. Higher pressures can cause parts
to rupture and result in serious injury.
Follow these steps to establish the correct fluid flow
and air flow:
A. Turn the fluid adjustment knob (21) counterclock-
wise until no restriction of the trigger movement is
felt, then turn out another half turn. When the knob
is turned far enough, the trigger should be able to
touch the gun handle when the gun is triggered.
WARNING
PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD
To avoid injury, never open the fluid adjustment
knob (21) beyond the one half turn indicated in
Adjust the Spray Pattern.
4. Relieve the Pressure.
5. Position the Air Cap
Rotate the air cap as needed to achieve the desired
spray pattern direction. To create a round pattern, turn
the pattern air off by turning the pattern adjustment
knob (13a) fully clockwise. Refer to Fig. 12, page 11.

6. Adjust the Spray Pattern (continued)
B. Adjust the fluid flow using the fluid pressure
regulator (L) installed in the gun fluid line. Typical
industrial flow rates will vary with regulator pressures from 5 to 30 psi (34 to 210 kPa, 0.3 to
2.1 bar).

Fig. 8
C. Hold the gun parallel to the floor and adjust the fluid
pressure to yield a 1 to 6 inch (25.4 to 152.4 mm)
straight fluid stream before the stream falls off.
7019A
NOTE: A larger fluid nozzle at a reduced fluid pressure
will maintain the same flow rate, but slow down the
fluid stream (velocity). When air is applied, this allows
the air to act on the fluid longer and improve the atomization.
D. If further fluid flow restriction is needed at the gun,
turn the fluid adjustment knob (21) clockwise to
reduce the volume of fluid output by limiting the
needle travel.

WARNING
PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD
To avoid injury, never open the fluid adjustment
knob (21) beyond the one half turn indicated in
Adjust the Spray Pattern, page 9.
CAUTION
Restricting the trigger and fluid needle travel by
continuously spraying with the fluid adjustment knob
closed (turned clockwise), will cause accelerated
abrasive wear on the fluid needle and wear on the
trigger/air valve shaft interface.
For the best results, use the gun fluid regulator to
adjust the fluid flow or use a different size needle/
nozzle/air cap combination.
