GRACO RAC 5 SwitchTips (black handle) are high-performance tips and the #1 selling tip on the market today. RAC 5 provides excellent fan pattern life and a high-quality finish. The most widely used reversible spray tip on the market. Used for residential and commercial applications Includes OneSeal for most common coatings Large selection of tip sizes available Easy to identify laser stamped tip sizes Solvent seal available when using extremely hot solvents Helpful Hints Tip Number Calculation: The first digit is half of the fan width, the "5" in "517" equals a 10 inch spray fan width (5 x 2 = 10). The last two digits are the size of the tip opening in thousandths of an inch, the "17" in "517" means the tip hole size is .017 inch. Speed Advice: Use smaller tip size when applying thinner materials such as stains and enamels. Use larger sizes for thicker materials such as exterior, latex and oil based paints. The larger the size of the tip hole, the faster the material leaves the gun. A 313 tip sprays faster than a 411 tip. Sprayer Specifications: 515 tip is included with each sprayer. A sprayer can support all smaller tips up to its maximum tip rating. 515 is sized to spray paint. A smaller tip is recommended for stain. Understanding Tip Wear: It's important to replace a tip when it gets worn to ensure a precise spray pattern, maximum productivity and quality finish. When a tip wears, the orifice size increases and the fan width decreases.Choosing the right spray tip is essential for ensuring a quality finish -- no matter which coating material is being sprayed. However, spray tips will wear with normal use. This causes more paint to hit a smaller area, which wastes paint and slows productivity. Tip life varies by coating, so if a tip is worn, replace it. Extend tip life by spraying at the lowest pressure that breaks up the coating into a complete spray pattern (atomize). Do not increase the pump pressure; it only wastes paint and causes unnecessary pump component wear. Recommended Spray Tip Replacement Time: Latex - Replace after 15-40 gallons Oils & Stains - Replace after 35-60 gallons
