Iwata LPH400-134LV 1.3mm HVLP Spray Gun Only (5640)

The Iwata LPH400-134LV 1.3mm HVLP Spray Gun Only (5640) is a high-performance, center post gravity-feed HVLP spray gun crafted for precise and efficient paint application. This gun is a part of the Classic Plus Series, known for delivering high-quality finishes across various painting applications, including automotive refinishing, woodworking, and general industrial use. Its design focuses on maximizing material transfer efficiency and achieving superior atomization, resulting in smooth, even coatings with minimal overspray.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:High Volume, Low Pressure (HVLP) Technology: Enables high transfer efficiency, reducing material waste and overspray, which translates to cost savings and a cleaner working environment.Patented LV Technology with Split Nozzle Design: This specialized technology enhances fluid delivery and pre-atomization, ensuring superior atomization for a fine, consistent spray pattern and allowing for significant material savings.Gravity-Feed Design: The top-mounted cup uses gravity for paint flow, simplifying cleanup procedures and further reducing material waste.1.3mm Nozzle: A versatile nozzle size, particularly well-suited for applying basecoats and clear coats in automotive refinishing, as well as various general-purpose coatings.Low Air Consumption: Operates efficiently, requiring less compressed air compared to some conventional spray guns, optimizing compressor use.Superior Atomization and Tulip Inspired Spray Pattern: Delivers a finely atomized, even spray, producing smooth, professional-quality finishes without mottling or streaking, especially with metallic and pearl paints.Easy Maintenance: Constructed with a quality surface for simple cleaning and featuring minimal wear parts to ensure straightforward maintenance and longevity.3M PPS Cup System Compatibility: Seamlessly integrates with the 3M PPS cup system (Adapter Type 2), offering convenience and quick color changes.Versatile Material Compatibility: Suitable for use with both solvent-based and waterborne paint products.SPECIFICATIONS:Nozzle Size: 1.3 mmGun Type: Gravity-Feed HVLPMax Working Air Inlet Pressure: 98 PSIAtomizing Air Pressure: 16 PSIAir Inlet Size: 1/4″Air Consumption: 9.5 CFMPattern Width: 280 mmFluid Output: 110 ml/min to 220 ml/minProduct Weight: 1.41 kg (without cup)Materials: Aluminum Alloy body, Stainless-steel nozzle, paint passage, and heat-tempered needleIncluded in Product When Purchased: Iwata LPH400-134LV Spray Gun Body, Gravity Feed Cup (specific size may vary by retailer, typically 600ml or 1000ml), Wrench Set, Cleaning Brushes, Owners Manual.HOW TO USE:Prepare the Surface: Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and properly prepared (sanded, primed, etc.).Mix Paint: Mix your paint according to the manufacturer’s specifications, including thinning agents if necessary, and strain it to remove any impurities.Fill Cup: Pour the prepared paint into the gravity-feed cup and attach it securely to the spray gun.Connect Air Supply: Connect the air hose to the 1/4″ air inlet on the spray gun. Ensure your air compressor is set to the recommended air pressure (98 PSI max working pressure, 16 PSI atomizing pressure).Adjust Settings:Fluid Knob: Adjust the fluid control knob (at the back of the gun) to control the paint volume.Fan Pattern Knob: Adjust the fan pattern control knob (usually on the side) to set the desired spray pattern width.Air Adjustment Valve: Use the air adjustment valve on the gun or regulator to fine-tune the atomizing air pressure.Test Spray: Before painting your final surface, test the spray pattern and fluid output on a piece of scrap material to ensure optimal settings and a consistent finish.Apply Paint: Hold the gun at a consistent distance from the surface (typically 6-8 inches) and use smooth, overlapping passes. Trigger the gun fully at the beginning of each pass and release at the end to avoid heavy spots. Maintain a consistent speed.Clean Up: After use, disconnect the air supply. Empty any remaining paint from the cup and clean the cup thoroughly. Disassemble the air cap and nozzle for cleaning. Use appropriate cleaning solvents for your paint type and ensure all passages are clear. Lubricate moving parts as recommended.BENEFITS OF USING THE IWATA LPH400-134LV 1.3MM HVLP SPRAY GUN ONLY (5640):Professional-Level Finishes: Achieves high-quality results with superior gloss and smoothness.Reduced Paint Material Consumption: High transfer efficiency leads to cost savings.Minimized Overspray: Results in less cleanup and a healthier working environment.Consistent and Uniform Application: Prevents common issues like mottling and streaking in metallic finishes.Comfortable Feel: Offers a balanced design during extended use, reducing user fatigue.Wide Range of Compatibility: Adaptable for various coatings, including both traditional solvent-based and modern waterborne materials.Easy Cleaning: Designed for straightforward maintenance and minimal component wear, ensuring a long operational life.FEATURES:Optimized Atomization: Utilizes unique pre-atomization technology within its split nozzle design for an exceptionally fine and even spray.Ergonomic Design: Features a balanced body and comfortable grip for extended painting sessions without discomfort.Precision Fluid Control: Equipped with highly responsive fluid and fan pattern adjustments for detailed control over application.Corrosion-Resistant Components: Internal fluid passages and needles are made from stainless steel, ensuring durability with various paint types.Efficient Air Cap Design: Engineered to produce the “tulip inspired” spray pattern, ensuring uniform coverage and a consistent finish.Streamlined Cleaning: The smooth exterior finish and simplified internal components facilitate quick and thorough post-painting cleanup.Built for Compatibility: Directly interfaces with the widely used 3M PPS cup system for convenient disposable cup usage.Reduced Emissions: HVLP technology contributes to lower volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions compared to conventional spray guns.
