Iwata LPH400-164LV 1.6mm Gravity Fed HVLP Spray Gun Only (5560)

The Iwata LPH400-164LV 1.6mm Gravity Fed HVLP Spray Gun Only (5560) represents a precision tool for professional coating applications, designed to deliver exceptional finishes with efficiency. This high-performance, center post gravity-fed HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) spray gun integrates Iwata’s patented “LV Technology” and a distinct “tulip-inspired” spray pattern. This combination ensures superior atomization of materials while significantly reducing air consumption and material waste, making it an economical and environmentally conscious choice. Its gravity-feed design further enhances user convenience by simplifying the cleanup process and allowing for more efficient use of coating materials, even in smaller batches. Engineered in Japan, the LPH400-164LV is recognized for its robust construction and consistent performance across a wide spectrum of finishing tasks, from automotive refinishing to detailed woodworking and furniture applications.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:Superior Atomization: Patented “LV Technology” ensures incredibly fine atomization, resulting in smooth, uniform finishes with minimal “orange peel.”Material Efficiency: High transfer efficiency means more coating reaches the target surface, leading to significant savings on expensive materials and reduced overspray.Low Air Consumption: Designed to operate efficiently with lower air volume requirements, making it compatible with a wider range of air compressors and reducing energy costs.Precise Spray Pattern: The unique “tulip-inspired” spray pattern provides precise and consistent coverage, ensuring an even application across the entire surface.Easy Cleanup & Reduced Waste: The gravity-feed cup design allows for quicker and more thorough cleaning, minimizing wasted material and simplifying color changes.Versatile Application: Effectively applies a wide range of coatings, including sealers, enamels, medium to high viscosity materials, base coats, and clear coats.SPECIFICATIONS:Nozzle Size: 1.6 mmPattern Width: 11.8 inchesOptimal Operating Pressure: 16 psiAir Consumption: 9.5 cfmMax Working Air Inlet Pressure: 98 PSIAir Inlet Size: 1/4″Included in Product: Spray Gun Only (cup, PPS adapters, and other accessories are sold separately).HOW TO USE:Prepare Your Work Area: Ensure your painting area is clean, well-ventilated, and free from dust. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including a respirator, safety glasses, and gloves.Prepare Your Material: Thoroughly mix and filter your coating material according to the manufacturer’s specifications. Adjust viscosity as needed for optimal spraying with the 1.6mm nozzle. Pour the prepared material into the gravity-feed cup.Connect Air Supply: Connect the spray gun to your air compressor using a suitable air hose. Ensure your air compressor can supply a consistent 9.5 cfm at 16 psi at the gun. Use an air regulator to set the pressure accurately.Adjust Spray Gun:Fluid Adjustment: Turn the fluid adjustment knob to control the amount of material flowing through the gun.Pattern Adjustment: Adjust the pattern control knob to achieve your desired fan width (up to 11.8 inches).Air Cap: Ensure the air cap is securely tightened and properly aligned.Test Spray: Before spraying your final piece, perform a test spray on a piece of scrap material. Adjust the fluid, air, and pattern settings until you achieve a consistent, even spray pattern with proper atomization.Apply Coating: Hold the gun perpendicular to the surface, maintaining a consistent distance (typically 6-8 inches). Move the gun in smooth, even passes, overlapping each pass by 50%. Release the trigger at the end of each pass.Clean After Use: Immediately after finishing, thoroughly clean the spray gun. Disassemble the air cap and fluid tip, and clean all components with the appropriate cleaning solvent. Flush the gun body and fluid passages until no paint residue remains.BENEFITS OF USING IWATA LPH400-164LV 1.6MM GRAVITY FED HVLP SPRAY GUN ONLY (5560):Achieves professional-grade finishes with minimal effort.Reduces overall painting costs through efficient material usage.Offers a comfortable and balanced feel, reducing user fatigue during extended use.Provides consistent, repeatable results across various coating types.Enhances the safety of your workspace by minimizing airborne overspray.Simplifies the maintenance process due to its user-friendly design.FEATURES:Designed with a specific center post gravity-feed mechanism.Equipped with a precision 1.6 mm fluid nozzle.Features an optimized air cap that generates a unique “tulip” pattern.Incorporates “LV Technology” for improved material break-up at lower pressures.Constructed with high-quality components for long-term reliability.Balances weight for ergonomic handling during operation.Allows for fine-tuning of air and fluid flow for diverse applications.
