0 MMI Enterprises 289 Report post Posted November 14, 2008 Assuming flat work/high pressure of say 3kpsi you would be needing more like a 6.5 tip...what are you cleaning as your at under 2kpsi now with a #8? http://www.dultmeier.com/pdfs/tech-library/C_Nozzle.pdf If your downstreaming chems there is one main gun of choice that allows them to work proper with no problems...Someone else surely will chime in with the model #. Mines locked up in the truck right now. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 ECS MARK 19 Report post Posted November 14, 2008 If you are looking for trigger gun recomendations my favorite for up to 8 GPM @ 5000 PSI is the AL35. AL35 Easy Pull spray gun features five thousand psi maximum pressure, eight gallons per minute maximum flow and three hundred degrees maximum temperature.The Easy Pull trigger makes this an anti-fatigue spray gun. Three eighths inch fpt inlet and one quarter inch fpt outlet with a stainless steel inlet tube Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Paul Kassander 26 Report post Posted November 14, 2008 Like Russ said if you downstream look for a gun with the largest size ball inside they will give the best draw rates. Really what you want is a gun that fits the capacity of your machine and one that is comfortable in your hand and offers the least fatigue. Look for an "easy squeeze" or Hydraulic compensating gun they offer the best comfort when working. Also take into consideration the size of the workers hands a big or fat gun in small hands can be tiring on the operator. The general pump YG5000 is a good gun for smaller hands and the YRL50 is good for small hands and is an hyd compensating (what I use). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Scott Stone 604 Report post Posted November 15, 2008 I prefer the general guns. I think that it is a personal preference thing, but have found that the more expensive guns are usually more cost effective. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
