Clarke International Spray Gun - Pgf14 - 1.4Mm

While specific PSI can vary with coating and application, a general starting point is between 30-50 PSI. Always consult the product manual for precise recommendations and adjust based on your specific needs and coating.

The PGF14 is suitable for a wide range of automotive and industrial coatings, including primers, base coats, clear coats, lacquers, and enamels. Ensure the coating's viscosity is appropriate for the 1.4mm nozzle and follow manufacturer thinning recommendations.

For best performance and longevity, the nozzle and air cap should be thoroughly cleaned immediately after each use. Regular maintenance cleaning is crucial to prevent clogs and ensure consistent spray patterns.

The spray gun requires a minimum of a 3HP air compressor with an average air consumption of 11 CFM for efficient operation. Using a smaller compressor may result in poor atomization and inconsistent spray patterns.

The Clarke PGF14 comes equipped with a 600ml nylon gravity cup.

While it can be used for DIY projects, the PGF14 is designed as a professional-grade tool. Its performance is optimized for trade applications, and it requires a suitable air compressor. Users new to spray painting may benefit from practicing on scrap material first.

Ensure the air cap is correctly aligned and tightened. Check for blockages in the nozzle or air passages. Adjust air pressure and fluid flow. Ensure the coating is properly thinned.

Increase air pressure slightly. Ensure the nozzle and air cap are clean and undamaged. Verify the coating viscosity is within the recommended range.

Check that the cup is securely fastened. Inspect seals and O-rings for damage and replace if necessary. Ensure all connections are tight.

Check for blockages in the fluid needle, nozzle, or cup filter. Ensure the air supply is adequate and consistent. Prime the gun by holding a rag over the nozzle and briefly opening the air valve to draw paint up.
