The Graco 163359 GB Tip, Spray TC represents a pinnacle of tip technology for high-performance airless sprayer applications. Engineered for unmatched flow consistency and atomization quality, this tip is meticulously machined to exacting tolerances. Its flat orifice design delivers uniform fan patterns that reduce overspray and optimize transfer efficiency. Internal fluid channels are polished to a mirror finish, minimizing turbulence. The robust stainless-steel substrate resists abrasive additives and solvents, while precision sealing surfaces ensure reliable pump efficiency over extended duty cycles. Incorporating stringent high-pressure filtration requirements in tip manufacture enhances longevity and prevents downstream blockage.
Material selection and surface treatment protocols underpin the structural integrity of the Spray TC tip. The base alloy undergoes cryogenic stress relief, followed by chemical passivation to prevent corrosion. External plating adds wear resistance without compromising dimensional accuracy. Sealing faces are ground to sub-micron flatness, promoting uniform contact with cylinders and minimizing back-leak. This rigorous approach to materials engineering dramatically extends seal longevity in both solvent-based and water-based media. Specialized machining sequences maintain orifice circularity, ensuring consistent volumetric output across repeated changeovers.
Flow characteristics are validated using precision flow benches, where each tip is measured for output consistency at pressures up to 4,000 psi. The Graco 163359 GB Tip exhibits linear flow curves, enabling predictable adjustments as spraying parameters change. Atomization is quantified via laser diffraction analysis, confirming droplet size distributions that support premium finish quality. Regulatory-grade filtration protocols retain particulate below 20 microns, safeguarding tip integrity and contributor pump efficiency. Custom calibration charts accompany each tip, correlating pressure settings with target delivery rates to simplify on-site adjustments.
The Spray TC family leverages advanced metallurgy, choosing alloys that balance wear resistance with fracture toughness. 17-4 PH stainless steel offers a Rockwell C hardness of 38+, while specialized nitriding processes ramp hardness above 55 HRC at the tip orifice. CNC milling ensures concentricity of the fluid port to the orifice, reducing directional bias in the spray pattern. After machining, parts undergo ultrasonic cleaning to remove residual particulates. Chemical etching then refines surface microgeometry, reducing adhesion sites for pigment or resin. The end result is a surface finish Ra of under 0.2 microns, promoting easy cleaning and consistent fluid flow.
Each 163359 GB Tip is subjected to cyclical pressure testing to evaluate fatigue resistance. Typical bench tests involve 10,000 cycles at 3,000 psi, simulating intense industrial usage. Tip leak rates remain below 0.1 cc per minute, well under industry benchmarks. Spray patterns are examined under controlled humidity to measure fan width stability and edge definition. Any deviation triggers automated rejection protocols. Final inspection includes spectroscopic verification of alloy composition. These QA measures guarantee that every tip meets stringent specifications for professional coatings applications across automotive, aerospace, and heavy industry sectors.
Installation into standard Graco gun bodies is tool-free and straightforward, reducing downtime during on-site changeovers. Threaded assemblies feature fine-pitch sealing without thread sealant, preserving alignment accuracy. In retrofit scenarios, the tip’s geometry complements existing fluid manifolds, maintaining minimal dead volume. Operational guidelines recommend back-flushing with compatible cleaning solutions after each use to uphold high-pressure filtration efficacy and reduce residue buildup. With optimal maintenance, users observe extended service intervals and reduced tip replacement frequency, enhancing overall system uptime.
Maintenance protocols emphasize periodic inspection of the tip orifice under magnification to detect early signs of wear or clogging. Utilize clean, filtered solvents in a dedicated ultrasonic bath to dislodge trapped particulates. Reassemble components on a flat surface, ensuring sealing faces mate perfectly. Routine checks of pump efficiency and seal integrity further protect against unplanned downtime. By adhering to these best practices, the Graco 163359 GB Tip, Spray TC delivers consistent, repeatable performance in the most demanding professional coatings environments.
For engineers and maintenance planners seeking durability and precision in high-pressure spray systems, the Graco 163359 GB Tip, Spray TC stands out as an industry benchmark. It combines cutting-edge materials science, fluid dynamics optimization, and rigorous quality controls to meet the exacting requirements of advanced coating applications. Whether applying thermoplastic powders, heavy elastomers, or ultra-low-VOC formulations, this tip ensures superior finish quality, reduced waste, and streamlined operational workflows throughout the production lifecycle.
