Here at Bedford® we stock standard tips, line striper tips, fine finish tips, and the most recent add to this Tip line, the large barrel tip. This line of reversible tips complements our line of spray guns, extensions, guards, fittings, hoses, pump and repair parts that Bedford has been supplying for 58+ years.
In addition to the various types of tips, there are different sizes that are specific to certain manufacturers. We sell tips that are equivalent to Graco® Rac® 5 Tips and Titan® SC-6 Tips.
The type of tip that is best for your project depends on the project itself, but also the size of your sprayer and how wide you would like the spray to be.
What Does “Reversible Tip” Mean?
Reversible means that the tip can be turned around to clean out the orifice. The benefit of a reversible tip is that it makes it much easier to clean. When you turn the tip around and spray, it unplugs a clogged paint spray gun.
What Is the Typical Lifespan of a Reversible Tip?
The lifespan of your reversible paint gun tip will depend on the type of coating being sprayed and the pressure at which the pump is operating. Generally, tips will need to be replaced after 50-100 gallons of use. Tips can be used longer than that, but the spray pattern deteriorates over time. This will cause more “overspray,” which results in excess gallons of paint being used.
It's a good idea to have a few tips on hand because of this.
