Several factors influence, and need to be observed to maintain the recommended pressure at the nozzle. Among
factors causing pressure drop are:
- extended hoses or hose bundles
- extended hose whip-end line
- small internal diameter hoses
- high paint viscosity

- inadequate air capacity from compressor
- incorrect or clogged filters
Other application tools
Brush application
Suitable for application by brush. Recommended for first coat or stripe coating application in corners, on edges
and other areas difficult to reach. A stiff brush is recommended. It will be necessary to apply additional coats to
achieve a similar dry film thickness as when the coating is applied by airless spray.
Roller application
Roller application is only permitted in scallops and rat holes where even a brush would not be suitable.
