Iwata LPH440-181 1.8mm Primer Spray Gun w/ 600mL Cup (5731)

The Iwata LPH440-181 1.8mm Primer Spray Gun w/ 600mL Cup (5731) is a highly specialized tool engineered for the precise application of primers, sealers, and fillers. This HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) spray gun is designed to provide professional-grade results, ensuring a smooth, even finish crucial for subsequent paint layers. Its optimized design focuses on maximizing material transfer efficiency and minimizing overspray, leading to cost savings and a cleaner work environment. The gun’s ability to produce a sharp-edged spray pattern allows for superior overlap between passes, which significantly enhances working speed and consistency in film build. Crafted by Iwata, a leader in spray technology, the LPH440-181 combines ergonomic design with robust construction, making it a reliable choice for automotive, industrial, and other professional finishing applications where quality surface preparation is paramount.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:Optimized for Primers, Sealers, and Fillers: Specifically designed fluid passages and nozzle configuration ensure ideal atomization and coverage for thicker coatings, reducing the effort needed for sanding.HVLP Technology for Efficiency: High Volume Low Pressure operation maximizes transfer efficiency, reducing material waste and overspray, which contributes to a healthier workspace and lower material costs.Sharp-Edged Spray Pattern: This feature creates precise, clean edges in the spray pattern, allowing for excellent overlap between passes, speeding up the application process and promoting a uniform coating.Fine Atomization: Delivers a smooth and consistent material distribution, which is essential for a flat, even primer surface, leading to superior final paint finishes.Ergonomic and Balanced Design: The gun is designed for comfort and control during extended use, reducing operator fatigue and improving handling precision.Gravity Feed System: The top-mounted cup uses gravity to assist material flow, ensuring consistent delivery, especially beneficial for higher viscosity primers.SPECIFICATIONS:Nozzle Size: 1.8 mmPattern Width: 10.6 inchesRecommended Atomizing Air Pressure (at cap): 20 PSIAir Consumption: 8.9 CFMIncluded in Product: Iwata LPH440-181 Spray Gun, 600mL PCG6PM Plastic Gravity CupHOW TO USE:Preparation: Ensure your air compressor delivers clean, dry air. Connect the air hose to the spray gun’s air inlet. Fill the 600mL plastic gravity cup with your primer, sealer, or filler, ensuring the material is properly thinned according to the manufacturer’s specifications.Adjust Air Pressure: Set your air pressure regulator to achieve the recommended atomizing air pressure of 20 PSI at the air cap (or as indicated by your gauge).Adjust Fluid Output: Turn the fluid adjustment knob to control the amount of material sprayed. Start with a moderate setting and adjust based on the material’s viscosity and desired coverage.Adjust Fan Pattern: Rotate the air cap or adjust the fan control knob to achieve your desired spray pattern width, aiming for the 10.6-inch optimal width for typical passes.Test Spray: Before applying to your workpiece, perform a test spray on a piece of scrap material to verify the pattern, atomization, and fluid output. Adjust settings as needed.Application: Hold the gun perpendicular to the surface, maintaining a consistent distance (typically 4–8 inches). Move the gun at a steady pace, overlapping each pass by about 50% to ensure even coverage.Cleaning: Immediately after use, thoroughly clean the spray gun by flushing it with appropriate cleaning solvents. Disassemble the air cap and fluid tip components for detailed cleaning to prevent clogging and maintain performance.BENEFITS OF USING IWATA LPH440-181 1.8MM PRIMER SPRAY GUN W/ 600ML CUP (5731):Significantly improves the quality and efficiency of primer and sealer application.Minimizes the need for extensive post-priming sanding, saving time and labor.HVLP technology helps reduce material consumption, maximizing cost-effectiveness.Delivers consistent and uniform film build, essential for achieving an optimal topcoat foundation.Reduces waste while enhancing the final finish with less effort.FEATURES:1.8 mm fluid tip for optimal primer application.600mL plastic gravity cup included for convenient material loading.HVLP atomization for high transfer efficiency.Designed for a sharp-edged, consistent spray pattern.Specific engineering for primers, sealers, and fillers.Low air pressure operation at 20 PSI at the air cap.Generates a wide 10.6-inch spray pattern.Air consumption of 8.9 CFM for efficient operation.Rugged construction for professional daily use.Ergonomic grip for comfortable handling.Gravity feed system for consistent fluid delivery.
