Check that your machine is listed above and that it uses the short manifold filter format. Compare the part number in your sprayer’s manual or parts diagram. If your manifold uses the long style, this screen won’t fit.
Use 60-mesh for most paints and primers with tips around .015–.029. Choose 30-mesh for very heavy, high-build, or aggregate-laden materials where a finer screen may restrict flow.
Yes—manifold and gun filters perform complementary roles. The manifold screen catches larger debris early; the gun filter adds final filtration near the tip to reduce spitting and pattern issues.
Inspect and clean daily when in use. Replace when the mesh is distorted, torn, heavily stained, or if flow drops and cleaning doesn’t restore performance. Many pros keep spare screens in the rig to swap quickly on the job.
A clean 60-mesh manifold screen greatly reduces debris reaching the tip. For best results: strain coatings, keep suction components clean, and match gun filter & tip size to your material.
