Iwata LPH400-LVX HVLP Compliant 1.3mm Nozzle Spray Gun (5660)

The Iwata LPH400-LVX HVLP Compliant 1.3mm Nozzle Spray Gun (5660) represents the pinnacle of spray technology from ANEST IWATA, a pioneer in the industry for over 75 years. This gravity-feed spray gun is expertly engineered to meet the demands of professional automotive refinishing and a wide range of industrial applications, particularly excelling with basecoats, metallics, and pearls. Its design focuses on increasing productivity and achieving superior finish quality with high material transfer efficiency.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:HVLP Compliant Design: Operates at low air pressure (16 psi) for high material transfer efficiency, significantly reducing overspray and minimizing paint waste, making it compliant with environmental regulations.LVX eXtreme Basecoat Technology: Specifically optimized for spraying 90-95% of all basecoat colors, including both solvent and waterborne types. This technology ensures an ultra-smooth application and boosts productivity in professional settings.Patented LV Technology with Split Nozzle: Incorporates a unique pre-atomization process before paint leaves the nozzle, resulting in less air consumption and further material savings compared to conventional nozzles.Orange Air Cap (LVX): A specially designed air cap that provides optimal atomization and pattern control for consistent and high-quality finishes, particularly effective with metallic, stain, and dye materials.Gravity Feed System: Promotes efficient material flow and allows for easy cleanup, reducing downtime and optimizing the painting process.Designed for Durability and Easy Maintenance: Constructed with quality materials and minimal wear parts, simplifying routine cleaning and ensuring a long product lifespan.SPECIFICATIONS:Nozzle Diameter: 1.3 mmRecommended Work Pressure: 16 psi (1.1 bar)Average Air Consumption: 9.8 CFM (275 LPM)Pattern Size: 300 mm (11.8 inches)Fluid Output: 120 ml/minGun Weight: 380 gAir Inlet Thread: 1/4″HOW TO USE:Preparation: Ensure your compressed air system is clean and dry. Connect the spray gun to an air hose with a regulator, setting the pressure to the recommended 16 psi (1.1 bar) at the gun’s inlet.Material Loading: Fill the gravity cup with your prepared basecoat, metallic, or pearl paint. Ensure the paint is properly mixed and strained according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.Setup and Adjustment: Adjust the fluid needle to control paint flow and the pattern adjustment knob to set the desired spray fan width. Practice on a test panel to fine-tune settings for optimal atomization and coverage.Spraying Technique: Maintain a consistent spray distance of 6-8 inches from the surface. Overlap each pass by 50% for even coverage. Keep the gun perpendicular to the surface, moving at a steady pace.Cleaning: After each use, disconnect the gun from the air supply. Empty any remaining paint from the cup and clean thoroughly with appropriate solvents or water, depending on the paint type. Disassemble the air cap and nozzle for detailed cleaning as needed.BENEFITS OF USING IWATA LPH400-LVX HVLP COMPLIANT 1.3MM NOZZLE SPRAY GUN (5660):Achieves very smooth and consistent finishes with minimal texture (orange peel).Significantly increases painting speed and overall productivity, especially for basecoat applications.Reduces material consumption due to high transfer efficiency and reduced overspray.Provides versatility for spraying a wide range of basecoats, including challenging metallic and pearl finishes.Offers reliable performance and a long operational life, characteristic of Anest Iwata’s build quality.FEATURES:Optimized for basecoat application with specialized LVX technology.Equipped with a precision 1.3mm fluid nozzle.Efficient gravity-feed cup design for easy material handling.Designed for low air pressure operation for compliance and efficiency.Features an orange air cap for enhanced metallic and pearl application.Includes minimal components for simplified cleaning and maintenance.Compatible with the 3M PPS cup system via a Type 2 adapter.Constructed with a cast aluminum gun body for balance and feel.Stainless steel fluid tip, nozzle, and fluid needle for material compatibility.Provides a wide and uniform spray pattern for excellent coverage.
