Frequently Asked Questions
It’s engineered to handle textures, high-build coatings, and standard paints/primers with the correct tip, hose, and gun setup, so one machine covers multiple job types.
The OEM pump is the 17H831 Endurance Chromex. It’s used on select TexSpray Mark X HD and certain TexSpray 7900 HD configurations. Always confirm your serial range and spec label before ordering parts.
Drywall mud and heavy textures often use larger RAC X or specialty texture tips; paints/primers typically use smaller RAC X LTX sizes. Start with the material manufacturer’s recommendation and adjust to achieve the target mil build and pattern.
The Mark X HD has the output for multi-gun use with appropriate manifold and hose sizes for the materials being sprayed. Follow flow/pressure limits and ensure both guns are rated for the system pressure.
Clean promptly with FastFlush, use the correct filter mesh, keep packings lubricated, and replace worn tips/filters early. The Advantage Drive and WatchDog features help protect components, but routine care is essential.
