Iwata LPH400-134LV 1.3mm HVLP Spray Gun Only (5640)

The Iwata LPH400-134LV 1.3mm HVLP Spray Gun Only (5640) is a high-performance, center post gravity-feed HVLP spray gun crafted for precise and efficient paint application. This gun is a part of the Classic Plus Series, known for delivering high-quality finishes across various painting applications, including automotive refinishing, woodworking, and general industrial use. Its design focuses on maximizing material transfer efficiency and achieving superior atomization, resulting in smooth, even coatings with minimal overspray.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• High Volume, Low Pressure (HVLP) Technology: Enables high transfer efficiency, reducing material waste and overspray, which translates to cost savings and a cleaner working environment.
• Patented LV Technology with Split Nozzle Design: This specialized technology enhances fluid delivery and pre-atomization, ensuring superior atomization for a fine, consistent spray pattern and allowing for significant material savings.
• Gravity-Feed Design: The top-mounted cup uses gravity for paint flow, simplifying cleanup procedures and further reducing material waste.
• 1.3mm Nozzle: A versatile nozzle size, particularly well-suited for applying basecoats and clear coats in automotive refinishing, as well as various general-purpose coatings.
• Low Air Consumption: Operates efficiently, requiring less compressed air compared to some conventional spray guns, optimizing compressor use.
• Superior Atomization and Tulip Inspired Spray Pattern: Delivers a finely atomized, even spray, producing smooth, professional-quality finishes without mottling or streaking, especially with metallic and pearl paints.
• Easy Maintenance: Constructed with a quality surface for simple cleaning and featuring minimal wear parts to ensure straightforward maintenance and longevity.
• 3M PPS Cup System Compatibility: Seamlessly integrates with the 3M PPS cup system (Adapter Type 2), offering convenience and quick color changes.
• Versatile Material Compatibility: Suitable for use with both solvent-based and waterborne paint products.

HOW TO USE:

• Prepare the Surface: Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and properly prepared (sanded, primed, etc.).
• Mix Paint: Mix your paint according to the manufacturer's specifications, including thinning agents if necessary, and strain it to remove any impurities.
• Fill Cup: Pour the prepared paint into the gravity-feed cup and attach it securely to the spray gun.
• Connect Air Supply: Connect the air hose to the 1/4" air inlet on the spray gun. Ensure your air compressor is set to the recommended air pressure (98 PSI max working pressure, 16 PSI atomizing pressure).
• Adjust Settings:
  • Fluid Knob: Adjust the fluid control knob (at the back of the gun) to control the paint volume.
  • Fan Pattern Knob: Adjust the fan pattern control knob (usually on the side) to set the desired spray pattern width.
  • Air Adjustment Valve: Use the air adjustment valve on the gun or regulator to fine-tune the atomizing air pressure.
• Test Spray: Before painting your final surface, test the spray pattern and fluid output on a piece of scrap material to ensure optimal settings and a consistent finish.
• Apply Paint: Hold the gun at a consistent distance from the surface (typically 6-8 inches) and use smooth, overlapping passes. Trigger the gun fully at the beginning of each pass and release at the end to avoid heavy spots. Maintain a consistent speed.
• Clean Up: After use, disconnect the air supply. Empty any remaining paint from the cup and clean the cup thoroughly. Disassemble the air cap and nozzle for cleaning. Use appropriate cleaning solvents for your paint type and ensure all passages are clear. Lubricate moving parts as recommended.
