Iwata LPH-400-LV 1.2mm HVLP Gravity Feed Spray Gun Only (5540)

The Iwata LPH-400-LV 1.2mm HVLP Gravity Feed Spray Gun Only (5540) is a high-performance tool engineered for professionals seeking superior paint finishes. This specific model, featuring a 1.2mm nozzle, integrates Iwata’s patented LV Technology, ensuring excellent atomization while significantly reducing overspray. It is a versatile spray gun suitable for a wide range of solvent and waterborne products, making it an ideal choice for applying base coats, clear coats, and single-stage products in automotive refinishing, woodworking, and metalwork. The gravity-fed design contributes to efficient material use and straightforward cleaning, making it a reliable addition to any professional painting setup.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:LV Technology: Iwata’s patented Low Volume Technology delivers consistently fine atomization for smooth, high-quality finishes, while simultaneously reducing overspray. This leads to less material waste and a more environmentally friendly painting process by minimizing VOC emissions.Optimal Air Consumption: Operates efficiently on a low air consumption rate of 9.5 CFM, making it compatible with a broader range of air compressor setups while maintaining high performance.Superior Atomization: Engineered to break down paint into exceptionally fine and even particles, resulting in a consistent, uniform spray pattern and eliminating common issues like “orange peel” texture.Versatile Material Compatibility: Designed to perform effectively with both solvent-based and modern waterborne coatings, providing flexibility across various painting applications.Application Specific Design: Specifically developed for excellent performance with base coats, clear coats, and single-stage products, crucial for achieving professional-grade automotive and industrial finishes.SPECIFICATIONS:Model: LPH-400-LV (5540)Fluid Tip Size: 1.2mmTechnology: HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) with LV TechnologyFeed Type: Gravity FeedAir Consumption: 9.5 CFMIncluded: Spray gun only (paint cup is typically sold separately)HOW TO USE:Prepare the Paint: Thoroughly mix your chosen paint (solvent or waterborne base, clear, or single-stage) according to the manufacturer’s specifications. Strain the paint to remove any impurities that could clog the gun.Fill the Cup: Pour the prepared paint into the gravity-feed cup attached to the top of the spray gun. Secure the cup lid tightly.Connect Air Supply: Attach your air hose from the compressor to the air inlet at the bottom of the spray gun. Ensure your air compressor is set to provide 9.5 CFM at the recommended operating pressure.Adjust Settings:
Fluid Knob: Adjust the fluid knob (usually at the back of the gun) to control the amount of paint flow.
Fan Pattern Knob: Adjust the fan pattern knob (often on the side) to change the width and shape of the spray pattern.
Air Cap: Check that the air cap is clean and free of obstructions to ensure proper atomization.Test Spray: Before applying to your actual workpiece, perform a test spray on a piece of scrap material. Adjust the fluid, fan, and air pressure settings until you achieve a consistent, even spray pattern with good atomization.Apply Paint: Maintain a consistent distance and speed while spraying. Overlap each pass by approximately 50% to ensure even coverage. Apply thin, even coats rather than thick, heavy ones to prevent runs and achieve a smoother finish.Clean After Use: Immediately after painting, disassemble the gun and thoroughly clean all paint-contacting parts with the appropriate solvent or water-based cleaner for your paint type. Regular and thorough cleaning is essential for maintaining optimal performance.BENEFITS OF USING IWATA LPH-400-LV 1.2MM HVLP GRAVITY FEED SPRAY GUN ONLY (5540):Achieves professional-grade, smooth, and high-gloss finishes on painted surfaces.Reduces paint consumption significantly due to high transfer efficiency and minimized overspray.Contributes to a cleaner and safer work environment by lowering airborne paint particles.Offers reliability and consistent performance across a variety of painting projects.Designed for straightforward maintenance and cleaning, extending the product’s lifespan.Provides flexibility with its compatibility across both solvent and waterborne paint systems.FEATURES:Patented LV Technology integrated into the air cap for precise paint atomization.Ergonomic center post design for balanced handling and control during spraying.Lightweight construction for extended use without fatigue.Adjustable fluid control for precise material volume regulation.Fan pattern adjustment for customizing spray shape and width.Corrosion-resistant components for long-term durability with various paint types.
