Overview & Key Specs for 163823

Compatible Machines

The Graco 163823 Silver Flat Tip (823) works with airless sprayers/guns that accept a flat tip guard (e.g., Flat Tip Guard 220251) and meet the required pressure/flow. Always confirm your gun/guard interface and sprayer rating before use.

Any Graco airless sprayer using a 7/8"-thread flat tip guard and rated up to 5,000 psi
Graco airless guns such as Silver Plus Gun and many Contractor PC / FTx variants (when fitted with compatible flat tip guard)
Commonly paired sprayer series (when equipped with a compatible gun/guard): Ultra / Ultra Max, Ultra Max II 395–1595, Mark IV / Mark V / Mark X
Other professional sprayers used for architectural or light industrial coatings that support flat (non-reversible) tips

Fitment & Use Notes

Use only with a compatible flat tip guard (e.g., 220251); RAC-style reversible guards are not compatible.
Verify your sprayer’s flow capability for a 0.023 in tip; heavier materials may require higher-output pumps.
Maintain correct spray distance and overlap to achieve the stated fan width (16–18 in).
Filter selection and hose length can affect performance—match them to material viscosity and tip size.

Recommended Applications

Walls, ceilings, broad surfaces where a wider fan pattern improves productivity
Primers and mid-viscosity architectural coatings where 0.023 in flow is appropriate
Light industrial touch-ups needing a flat, consistent pattern

Frequently Asked Questions

No. The 163823 is a flat, non-reversible tip and requires a compatible flat tip guard (e.g., 220251). RAC-style reversible tips/guards are different and not interchangeable.

0.023 in is typically used for higher-output architectural coatings and larger surface coverage. For fine-finish/cabinetry, smaller orifices are common. Match tip size to coating viscosity, desired film build, and sprayer capacity.

Expect approximately 16–18 inches at a standard spray distance with proper technique. Actual results vary with pressure, coating, and speed of pass.

For best performance, match your gun/pump filters and hose length/diameter to the coating and tip size. Heavier coatings and larger tips may benefit from coarser filters and shorter, larger-ID hoses.
