Iwata LPH50-042G 0.4mm Nozzle Spray Gun Only (5261)

The Iwata LPH50-042G 0.4mm Nozzle Spray Gun Only (5261) is a specialized tool designed for detailed and precise painting applications. As a miniature, gravity-feed spray gun, it excels in tasks requiring fine atomization and minimal overspray, making it ideal for automotive spot repairs, small component painting, model work, and intricate woodworking finishes. This spray gun represents Iwata’s commitment to quality and engineering, providing professionals and serious hobbyists with a reliable instrument for achieving superior results on surfaces that demand a delicate touch. Its construction emphasizes efficient material transfer and comfortable operation, ensuring that even the most focused painting jobs are completed with precision and high-quality output.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:Precise 0.4mm Nozzle: This ultra-fine nozzle allows for extremely controlled application of thin materials, producing very smooth and even finishes with minimal paint usage.Low Pressure, High Atomization (LVLP): Operates at low air pressure while achieving high atomization, reducing overspray significantly. This translates to less wasted material, a cleaner working environment, and more paint transferred to the target surface.Gravity Feed Design: The top-mounted cup (sold separately for this “gun only” model) utilizes gravity for consistent paint flow, especially beneficial when working with small amounts of material and ensuring efficient use of every drop.Compact and Lightweight Build: Its miniature size and light weight contribute to reduced user fatigue during extended use and allow for excellent maneuverability in tight spaces and for detailed work.Versatile Application: Suitable for various industries, including automotive refinishing for spot repairs, custom graphics, fine art, model painting, and woodworking finishes.Superior Finish Quality: Engineered to deliver a uniform and fine mist, leading to a professional-grade finish that is smooth and consistent, crucial for high-end appearance work.SPECIFICATIONS:Nozzle Diameter: 0.4 mmAir Pressure: 0.09 MPa (approximately 13 psi)Air Consumption: 50 L/min (approximately 1.8 cfm)Fluid Output: 8 ml/minPattern Width: 40 mm (approximately 1.6 inches)Weight: 220g (approximately 7.8 ounces)Cup Mounting Port: G1/4Air Inlet: G1/4Included in Product: Spray Gun x1 (Note: Gravity-feed cup is typically sold separately for “gun only” models like this one.)HOW TO USE:Preparation: Ensure your air compressor is set to the recommended air pressure (0.09 MPa or 13 psi). Clean the spray gun thoroughly before its first use and between color changes using an appropriate solvent or cleaner. Attach a compatible gravity-feed cup to the top of the gun.Mixing Paint: Prepare your paint or coating material according to the manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring it is properly thinned for the 0.4mm nozzle. Pour the mixed material into the gravity-feed cup.Adjusting Controls: Adjust the fluid control knob (at the back of the gun, usually) to regulate the amount of paint flow. Adjust the air cap or pattern control knob (usually at the front or side) to achieve the desired spray pattern (from a small round spot to a narrow fan).Testing Spray Pattern: Before applying to your workpiece, test the spray pattern on a piece of scrap material. Adjust controls as needed until you achieve an even and consistent spray.Application: Hold the gun perpendicular to the surface at a consistent distance (typically 4-6 inches for detail guns). Apply paint in even, overlapping passes. Release the trigger at the end of each pass.Cleaning: Immediately after use, empty any remaining material from the cup. Fill the cup with appropriate cleaning solvent and spray it through the gun until clear. Disassemble the air cap, nozzle, and needle for thorough cleaning, ensuring all passages are free of paint residue.BENEFITS OF USING IWATA LPH50-042G 0.4MM NOZZLE SPRAY GUN ONLY (5261):Achieves exceptional finishes on delicate and small-scale projects due to precise atomization.Minimizes paint waste and reduces environmental impact by operating at low pressure.Provides comfortable handling and excellent control during extended painting sessions.Allows for focused application, making it ideal for blending, touch-ups, and intricate design work.Contributes to a cleaner workspace with less overspray and bounce-back.Offers reliable performance for consistent, high-quality results across various materials and applications.Designed for longevity, ensuring consistent operation over time with proper maintenance.FEATURES:Ultra-fine 0.4mm fluid nozzle.Optimized for low air pressure painting.Gravity-feed fluid delivery system.Lightweight construction for ease of handling.Adjustable fluid output control.Pattern control for shape and size adjustment.Stainless steel fluid passage and needle.Ergonomic grip for user comfort.Compatible with various paint types and coatings.Designed for minimal bounce-back.
