Setting the correct pressure for spraying with a Wagner paint sprayer. Wagner paint sprayer cleaning..
An issue raised frequently on the PaintHQ channel, is those purchasing a Wagner Control Pro Airless Paint Sprayer, wanting to swap out the Control Pro HEA gun or use a professional airless hose.. this video will demonstrate that this is not possible.. for safety reasons the Control Pro series of sprayers can only use their own proprietary fittings.. however the 7/8” tip guard thread is standard, so professional 7/8” fittings and accessories such as gun extensions can be used.. this will also be demonstrated in the video..
Wagner HEA ProTip and Fine Finish tips require the Wagner Professional TradeTip 3 Tip Guard.. Wagner Control Pro Spray Tips only fit the proprietary Control Pro Tip Guard.
Also, airless spray gun filters explained. Plus spraying with a Wagner Control Pro 311 and Wagner Professional Fine Finish 208 tip.. is there a difference?
