Sharpe 1.8mm Nozzle HVLP FX3000 Spray Gun (288882)

Description

The Sharpe 1.8mm Nozzle HVLP FX3000 Spray Gun (288882) is a specialized tool for applying thick, high-viscosity materials. This gravity-fed, full-size spray gun is a core part of the Finex FX3000 series, a line known for its combination of performance and user-friendly design. It is particularly well-suited for automotive and industrial projects, where the application of primers, high-build primers, and other dense coatings is required. Its High Volume Low Pressure (HVLP) technology is at the heart of its function, allowing for greater control and material efficiency. By delivering a large volume of air at a lower pressure, the gun produces a wide and consistent spray pattern while significantly reducing overspray. This not only results in a more professional finish but also minimizes material waste, making it a cost-effective choice for professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike. The gun’s construction emphasizes durability and ease of maintenance, featuring a black nickel finish and a simplified design with fewer internal components than previous models. Its ergonomic qualities, including a lightweight and balanced build, contribute to reduced operator fatigue, especially during large-scale or extended projects.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• HVLP Technology: Ensures maximum material transfer efficiency, reducing overspray and lowering material costs.
• Simplified Design: 29% fewer parts make the gun easier to clean, disassemble, and reassemble, saving time on maintenance.
• Ergonomic Trigger: Low trigger pull reduces hand fatigue during long painting sessions.
• Wide Spray Pattern: Up to 12.5 inches for rapid coverage of large surfaces, increasing project efficiency.
• Large Cup Capacity: Includes a 600cc aluminum cup for longer spray times without frequent refills.
• Accessory Compatibility: Compatible with 3M™ PPS™ system for flexible material application and cleanup.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Part Number: 288882
• Nozzle Diameter: 1.8 mm
• Application: Primer, high-viscosity materials
• Cup Size: 20 oz (600 cc)
• Air Inlet Size: 1/4″ NPSM
• Max. Air Inlet Pressure: 29 psi
• Air Consumption: 9.5 SCFM at 29 psi

HOW TO USE:

1. Prepare the Surface: Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and properly prepared according to the material manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Mix the Material: Mix your primer or high-viscosity material to the correct consistency as specified by the manufacturer. Pour the prepared material into the provided 600cc aluminum cup.
3. Adjust Air Pressure: Connect the spray gun to a compatible air compressor and set the air pressure at the regulator to 29 psi.
4. Practice Spraying: Test the spray pattern on a scrap piece of cardboard. Adjust the fan pattern and fluid control knobs as needed to achieve a smooth, consistent application.
5. Apply the Coating: Hold the gun at a consistent distance from the surface and apply the material using smooth, even passes. Overlap each pass by 50% to ensure uniform coverage.
6. Clean the Gun: Immediately after use, disconnect the gun from the air supply. Empty any remaining material and clean the gun thoroughly with an appropriate cleaning solvent. Disassemble the air cap and nozzle to clean all fluid passages.
