✔ Quick service — simple drop-in replacement; clean or swap as needed.

Use & Maintenance Tips

• Confirm your sprayer uses a Q-style short screen (not long) before ordering.
• Choose 30-mesh for heavier materials; use finer meshes only when specified.
• Inspect screens daily when spraying high-solids coatings; replace if damaged or deformed.
• Rinse and back-flush with appropriate solvent; avoid wire-brushing the mesh.

No. This is a Q-style short screen. Some sprayers use long outlet screens; those require a different part. Check your model’s parts breakdown to confirm the screen length and style.

Outlet strainers and tip/handle filters work together. Use the mesh combination recommended by Graco and your coating manufacturer. For heavy materials, a coarse outlet screen like 30-mesh helps maintain flow while a suitable tip filter refines final filtration.
