Iwata LPH400 LVX HVLP Compliant 1.3mm Spray Gun w/1000ml Cup (5663)

The Iwata LPH400 LVX HVLP Compliant 1.3mm Spray Gun w/1000ml Cup (5663) is a high-performance tool engineered to optimize basecoat application in professional automotive refinishing and industrial settings. This gravity-feed spray gun is specifically designed with Iwata's patented LVX eXtreme Basecoat Technology, making it highly efficient for 90-95% of all basecoat colors, including both solvent and waterborne formulations. It delivers exceptional speed and an ultra-smooth finish, significantly enhancing productivity for "middle-range" colors where efficiency is paramount. While the LPH400 LVB model remains the specialist for the most complex metallic and pearl colors, the LPH400 LVX excels in everyday basecoat tasks, providing consistent results without requiring changes to established painting techniques. Its compliant HVLP design ensures high material transfer efficiency, reducing overspray and material waste, which contributes to both cost savings and environmental benefits. The robust construction, featuring a cast aluminum body and stainless steel components, ensures reliability and ease of cleaning, making it a valuable addition to any professional painter's toolkit. This specific offering includes a 1000ml aluminum cup, ready for immediate use.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Optimized for Basecoats: Specifically developed with LVX eXtreme Basecoat Technology for excellent performance on 90-95% of solvent and waterborne basecoat colors.
• Increased Productivity: Engineered for faster application speed, leading to increased output and efficiency in painting operations, especially for common basecoat shades.
• Ultra-Smooth Application: Delivers a consistent and smooth finish, contributing to high-quality results without visible defects.
• Consistent Performance: Maintains performance similar to a standard LPH400, allowing painters to use existing inlet pressures, spray distances, and overlap techniques without adjustment.
• High Transfer Efficiency: HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) compliance minimizes overspray, resulting in significant material savings and reduced environmental impact.
• Ergonomic Design: Features a comfortable and balanced design to reduce painter fatigue during extended periods of use.
• Durable Construction: Built with a cast aluminum gun body and corrosion-resistant stainless steel fluid tip, nozzle, and fluid needle for long-term reliability and easy maintenance.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Fluid Nozzle Size: 1.3mm
• Cup Capacity: 1000ml
• Feed Type: Gravity
• Air Inlet Pressure (Recommended): 1.1 bar (16 psi)
• Air Consumption: 9.8 CFM
• Pattern Width: 300mm (11.8 inches)

HOW TO USE:

1. Preparation: Ensure your spray gun is clean and free of any debris. Prepare your basecoat material according to the manufacturer's specifications, including proper mixing and straining.
2. Attach Cup: Securely attach the 1000ml cup to the spray gun.
3. Fill Cup: Carefully pour the prepared basecoat material into the cup.
4. Connect Air: Connect the air hose to the spray gun's air inlet. Ensure your air compressor can supply the recommended air pressure.
5. Adjust Settings: Set the air inlet pressure to approximately 1.1 bar (16 psi). Adjust the fluid control knob for desired material flow and the fan control knob for the desired spray pattern width.
6. Test Spray: Before applying to your workpiece, perform a test spray on scrap material to confirm atomization, pattern, and coverage. Make any final adjustments as needed.
7. Apply Basecoat: Maintain a consistent spray distance and overlap as you would with a normal LPH400. Apply even coats, allowing appropriate flash-off time between coats as recommended by your paint manufacturer.
8. Clean Up: Immediately after use, thoroughly clean the spray gun by flushing it with appropriate cleaning solvents. Disassemble the air cap, fluid nozzle, and fluid needle for individual cleaning to ensure proper future operation.
