Iwata WIDER1L-2-12J2G 1.2mm Small Gravity Spray Gun (11020)

The Iwata WIDER1L-2-12J2G 1.2mm Small Gravity Spray Gun (11020) represents a significant advancement in professional-grade spray equipment. Engineered for high transfer efficiency and optimized atomization at low air pressure, this spray gun is a reliable tool for achieving exceptional finishes across a variety of applications, including automotive refinishing, metal painting, and wood or resin coating. Its thoughtful design focuses on enhancing both the user's experience and the quality of the final product, integrating improvements in ergonomics, maintenance, and spray pattern control. The WIDER1L-2-12J2G is a testament to precision engineering, designed to provide consistent, high-quality results while supporting more efficient paint usage and reduced environmental impact from overspray. This model is ideal for professionals seeking a dependable and advanced spray gun that supports intricate and demanding coating tasks.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• High Transfer Efficiency & Optimized Atomization: Achieves excellent material transfer and fine atomization even at low air pressure, leading to less material waste and a smoother finish. This translates to potential paint savings and reduced overspray, which also extends spray booth maintenance intervals.
• Ergonomic Design: Features a comfortable, balanced design that is 5 grams lighter than previous models. Tapered adjustment knobs with deeper grooves provide a secure grip for precise adjustments, and a smoother trigger tip allows for easier operation, especially with low paint volumes, reducing user fatigue during extended use.
• Simplified Maintenance: Designed for quicker and easier cleaning and component handling. The cap's improved thread pitch allows for faster removal (half the turns), and the reshaped needle valve back end makes removal and attachment more straightforward. Straight, threadless sections on air and fluid nipples facilitate easier connector attachment.
• Linear Pattern Adjustment: A newly developed pattern adjustment set provides a more intuitive and linear response. This allows for fine, predictable control over the spray pattern width, making it easier to achieve desired coverage and blending.
• Consistent Performance (Repeatability): Revised air valve seat design ensures uniform air volume regardless of installation position. This eliminates potential inconsistencies in paint output and pattern width, providing more repeatable and reliable results across applications.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Model: WIDER1L-2-12J2G
• Part Number: 11020
• Nozzle Diameter: 1.2 mm
• Paint Feed System: Gravity
• Air Cap: WIDER1L-2-J2
• Standard Spraying Pressure: 0.1 MPa
• Included in the product: The spray gun itself and typically a gravity feed cup. (Specific accessories like cleaning brushes or wrenches may vary by distributor but the core product includes the spray gun and cup).

HOW TO USE:

1. Preparation: Before first use, thoroughly clean the spray gun and cup to remove any manufacturing residues. Ensure your workspace is well-ventilated and wear appropriate personal protective equipment (respirator, gloves, eye protection).
2. Mix Paint: Prepare your paint according to the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring it is properly mixed and strained to remove any impurities that could clog the gun.
3. Fill Cup: Fill the gravity feed cup with the prepared paint. Do not overfill. Securely attach the cup to the spray gun.
4. Connect Air Supply: Connect the spray gun to a regulated air compressor using a suitable air hose. Set your air pressure to the recommended 0.1 MPa (approximately 14.5 psi) or adjust as needed for optimal atomization.
5. Adjust Settings: Adjust the fluid output knob for the desired paint volume and the pattern adjustment knob for the desired spray pattern width. Test on a practice surface to fine-tune settings before applying to your workpiece.
6. Spray Application: Hold the spray gun perpendicular to the surface, maintaining a consistent distance. Apply paint with smooth, overlapping passes. Release the trigger at the end of each pass.
7. Cleaning: Immediately after use, thoroughly clean the spray gun. Disassemble the air cap, nozzle, and needle. Clean all components with appropriate cleaning solvents. Flush the paint passages until clear. Lubricate moving parts as recommended by the manufacturer.
