Iwata LPH300-184LV 1.8mm Spray Gun w/ PCG4D-2 400mL Cup (3961)

The Iwata LPH300-184LV 1.8mm Spray Gun w/ PCG4D-2 400mL Cup (3961) represents a pinnacle of compact, high-performance HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) spraying technology. Engineered by Anest Iwata, this gun is designed for professionals and serious hobbyists who demand efficiency, precision, and consistent results in their coating applications. With its 1.8mm nozzle, it is specifically configured to handle a variety of materials, including primers, sealers, and thicker basecoats, making it an incredibly versatile tool for automotive refinishing, woodworking, and various industrial applications. The LPH300-184LV distinguishes itself by offering the capabilities of a full-sized spray gun in a more compact and lightweight form factor, which significantly reduces user fatigue during extended spraying sessions.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:High Transfer Efficiency (HVLP Technology): Maximizes material utilization by applying coatings with minimal overspray, reducing waste and contributing to a cleaner workspace.1.8mm Nozzle Size: Optimized for effective application of a wide range of materials, including primers, sealers, and various basecoats, providing excellent coverage.Compact and Lightweight Design: Ergonomically designed to minimize user fatigue, allowing for comfortable and sustained operation during long spraying tasks.”Tulip Inspired” Spray Pattern: Produces a wide, even, and finely atomized fan, ensuring uniform material distribution and a smooth, consistent finish.Stainless Steel Fluid Passages: Allows for compatibility with both solvent-borne and waterborne paints and coatings, offering broad application flexibility.Included 400mL Aluminum Gravity Cup (PCG4D-2): Provides a convenient and durable material reservoir that is easy to fill, clean, and maintain.Reduced Air Requirements: Operates efficiently at lower air pressures compared to conventional guns, supporting energy savings and less wear on compressors.SPECIFICATIONS:Model: LPH300-184LVNozzle Size: 1.8mmCup Type: Gravity FeedCup Capacity: 400mL (PCG4D-2 Aluminum Cup)Gun Weight (without cup): Information not explicitly provided, but described as “lighter weight.”Fluid Passages Material: Stainless SteelIncluded in Product When Purchased: Iwata LPH300-184LV Spray Gun, PCG4D-2 400mL Aluminum CupHOW TO USE:Preparation: Ensure your work area is well-ventilated and you are wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including a respirator, safety glasses, and gloves. Prepare the surface to be painted by cleaning, sanding, and masking as necessary.Mix Material: Prepare your paint or coating according to the manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring proper viscosity for spraying. Strain the material to remove any impurities that could clog the gun.Fill Cup: Pour the prepared material into the 400mL aluminum gravity cup. Securely attach the cup to the spray gun.Connect Air Hose: Connect your air compressor hose to the air inlet of the spray gun.Adjust Settings: Set your air pressure according to the material manufacturer’s recommendations or a suitable starting point for HVLP (typically lower than conventional guns, often between 10-20 PSI at the cap). Adjust the fluid control knob (at the back of the gun) and the fan pattern control knob (on the side) to achieve your desired spray pattern and material flow. Test on a scrap piece of material.Spray Application: Maintain a consistent distance from the surface (typically 6-8 inches) and move the gun parallel to the surface in smooth, overlapping passes. Trigger the gun fully at the beginning of each pass and release at the end to prevent excessive material build-up.Cleaning: Immediately after use, disconnect the air hose. Empty any remaining material from the cup. Clean the cup and gun thoroughly using appropriate cleaning solvents for the material you sprayed. Disassemble the air cap and fluid tip for detailed cleaning as needed.BENEFITS OF USING IWATA LPH300-184LV 1.8MM SPRAY GUN W/ PCG4D-2 400ML CUP (3961):Professional Finish Quality: Delivers exceptionally smooth and uniform coatings due to fine atomization and consistent spray patterns.Cost Efficiency: High transfer efficiency means less paint waste, saving on material costs over time.Reduced Fatigue: Lightweight and compact design allows for longer spraying sessions without discomfort.Versatile Application: Capable of handling a broad spectrum of coating types, from thin stains to thicker primers and sealers.Environmental Responsibility: Lower overspray contributes to a cleaner work environment and less airborne particulate matter.Easy Maintenance: Designed with minimal wear parts and smooth surfaces for straightforward cleaning and upkeep.Reliable Performance: Anest Iwata’s reputation for quality ensures consistent and dependable operation.FEATURES:Center post gravity-feed designLV (Low Volume) Technology for superior material transferSpecifically engineered “tulip pattern” fan for even coverageRobust construction with durable componentsDesigned for compatibility with 3M PPS cup system (Adapter Type 2)External air cap for precise air distributionErgonomic grip for comfortable handlingPrecise fluid and fan pattern adjustments
