Frequently Asked Questions

It fits Contractor PC, Contractor II, FTx, and FTx II guns. Examples include Contractor (288420, 288421, 288425), Contractor II (246220, 246221, 246434), FTx (288429, 288430, 288431, 288486), and FTx II (246230, 246231, 246435). Always verify against your gun’s parts diagram for certainty.

Use 60 mesh for heavier paints and many wall primers to maintain flow and reduce tip plugging. For thin enamels or clear finishes, a finer mesh may improve filtration—but ensure your sprayer pressure and tip size support it.

Rinse the screen during each color/material change, brush gently to remove trapped debris, and inspect for dents or tears. Replace if damage or persistent clogging is present after cleaning.

Yes—proper filtration reduces particles that cause spits, streaks, and tip blockages, leading to a more uniform spray pattern and finish.

The physical form factor must match your gun; only the mesh rating changes filtration fineness. You can swap to a finer or coarser mesh as materials require, as long as the filter format matches your gun family.
