- Pump & tip protection by trapping larger particles before the hose.

Use & Care Tips
- Match the mesh grade to your coating: 40 mesh for heavier materials; finer mesh for finishes.

- Confirm your machine’s manifold style (Easy-Out “long” #7) in the parts manual before ordering.
Frequently Asked Questions
Check your sprayer’s parts list/manual for an Easy-Out “long” (#7) manifold and the listed screen P/N. If your model lists 238433 (40 mesh) or the matching Easy-Out long screen family, it will fit.
40 mesh is coarser—better for thicker coatings and higher flow. 60–100 mesh captures finer debris for finish-grade materials. Always follow your coating and sprayer guidelines.
Yes—flush and gently brush with compatible solvent/water after use. Replace if the mesh is damaged, collapsed, or heavily clogged to avoid starving the pump.
They are both “long” Easy-Out screens for #7 manifolds; the mesh rating differs (40 vs 60). If your rig specifies the long Easy-Out element, either mesh grade of the same family typically fits—choose the mesh your application requires.
Multi-packs commonly include three individual 40-mesh screens for convenient change-outs. Always check the listing on your product page to confirm the exact pack quantity.
