Iwata LPH400-LV 1.4mm Gravity Spray Gun w/ 700ml Aluminum Cup (5552)

The Iwata LPH400-LV 1.4mm Gravity Spray Gun w/ 700ml Aluminum Cup (5552) represents a significant advancement in spray technology, building on Anest Iwata’s over 75 years of innovation since 1925. This high-performance HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) spray gun is engineered to provide exceptional finish quality with remarkable efficiency. Designed for professionals seeking precision and reliability, it is a versatile tool suitable for a wide range of finishing applications, including automotive refinishing, fine woodworking, and various metal finishing tasks. The gun’s advanced LV technology ensures superior atomization while maintaining low air consumption, contributing to a higher transfer efficiency and reducing material waste. Its gravity-feed design facilitates easy setup, quick color changes, and minimizes leftover material, making cleanup straightforward. The Iwata LPH400-LV 1.4mm is a testament to Anest Iwata’s commitment to delivering tools that meet the rigorous demands of professional painters, providing consistent, high-quality results every time.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:LV Technology for Superior Atomization: Utilizes Anest Iwata’s patented LV technology with a unique split nozzle design, delivering extremely fine atomization for smooth, uniform finishes, which is crucial for achieving high-quality clear coats and base coats.Efficient Material Transfer: The HVLP design combined with low air consumption ensures a high transfer efficiency, meaning more paint lands on the surface and less is lost to overspray, leading to significant material savings and a cleaner work environment.Tulip Inspired Spray Pattern: Generates a soft, uniform, and easily blendable spray pattern, reducing the likelihood of tiger stripes and promoting excellent color matching, especially beneficial for metallic and pearl finishes.Gravity-Feed Design for Ease of Use: The top-mounted 700ml aluminum cup allows for quick and easy material loading, reduces material waste by enabling almost complete paint usage, and simplifies the cleaning process.Reduced Air Consumption: Operates efficiently at lower air pressures, minimizing the strain on air compressors and potentially reducing operational costs and environmental impact.SPECIFICATIONS:Nozzle Size: 1.4 mmCup Capacity: 700mlPattern Width: 11.4 inches (290 mm)Recommended Inlet Pressure: 16 PSI (1.1 bar)Air Consumption: 9.5 CFMFluid Output: 130 ml/minHOW TO USE:Preparation: Ensure your air compressor is set to deliver the recommended inlet pressure (16 PSI at the gun). Verify that your painting area is clean, well-ventilated, and properly lit. Prepare your substrate by cleaning, sanding, and priming as necessary.Material Mixing: Mix your paint, clear coat, or other finishing material according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Strain the material to remove any particulates that could clog the gun.Filling the Cup: Carefully pour the prepared material into the 700ml aluminum gravity cup. Securely attach the cup to the spray gun.Adjustments: Adjust the fluid control knob (typically on the back of the gun) to regulate the amount of material flow. Adjust the pattern control knob (often on the side) to set the desired spray pattern width.Test Spray: Before applying to your main project, perform a test spray on a piece of scrap material to fine-tune your settings for atomization, pattern, and fluid output.Application: Hold the gun perpendicular to the surface, maintaining a consistent distance (typically 6-8 inches). Apply material in even, overlapping passes, moving at a steady speed. Release the trigger at the end of each pass.Cleaning: Immediately after use, disconnect the gun from the air supply. Empty any remaining material from the cup. Disassemble the cup and clean it thoroughly with appropriate cleaning solvents. Flush the gun’s fluid passages with cleaner until clear. Clean the air cap, fluid tip, and needle. Reassemble the gun.BENEFITS OF USING IWATA LPH400-LV 1.4MM GRAVITY SPRAY GUN W/ 700ML ALUMINUM CUP (5552):Achieves professional-grade finishes with consistent results.Reduces paint consumption due to high transfer efficiency.Provides a smooth, even, and easily blendable spray pattern.Simplifies cleanup and minimizes material waste with its gravity-feed design.Operates efficiently with lower air compressor demands.Versatile for various applications, including base coats, clear coats, and single-stage paints.Constructed for reliability and extended operational life.FEATURES:Center post gravity-feed design for balanced handling.Patented LV Technology air cap for fine atomization.Nickel-plated gun body for corrosion resistance and easy cleaning.Precision-machined air cap and fluid tip for consistent performance.Ergonomic design for comfortable operation during extended use.Adjustable fluid and pattern controls for precise application.Compatible with 3M PPS cup system (requires Adapter #2).Designed for low overspray and reduced bounce-back.
