Magnum X7 Airless Paint Sprayers with All Its Features

Graco Magnum X7: Specs, Real-World Uses, Setup Tips & Parts

Looking to cover big areas fast without sacrificing finish quality? The x7 paint sprayer is a cart-mounted, homeowner-friendly airless unit built to move paint quickly on exteriors, fences, and large rooms while staying easy to clean and maintain. It supports long hoses for fewer relocations and includes the SG2 gun and TrueAirless tip for out-of-the-box results.

Why the X7 Stands Out

Factory specifications: 0.31 GPM, 3000 PSI, up to 0.017″ tips, and up to 100 ft hose, great for large walls and siding.
Cart design: roll the unit and 5-gal pails instead of lifting; faster, less fatigue.
Starter kit included: SG2 gun, RAC tip/guard, 25 ft hose, Pump Armor.

On paper and in practice, the graco magnum x7 paint sprayer is the sweet spot for frequent DIY users who need more output than entry models but don’t want contractor-grade pricing.

Key Specifications (Explained)

Spec	What it means for you
0.31 GPM @ 3000 PSI	Higher throughput for siding, exterior trim, and whole rooms in fewer passes.
Max tip .017″	Supports many exterior latex coatings with less thinning than smaller units.
Hose up to 100 ft	Set the sprayer once and reach upper stories or far corners.
Cart frame	Mobility for bigger jobs; wheel your bucket and sprayer together.

Best-Fit Projects

Use the graco x7 airless paint sprayer for exterior siding, fences, decks, sheds, and large interior repaints where speed and coverage matter. If you regularly spray thicker latex outdoors, the X7’s larger supported tip size and cart make the work noticeably faster than smaller models.

Setup & Spraying Tips for Cleaner Results

Strain your paint and prime fully (PushPrime). Start at lower pressure and increase until tails disappear.
Pick tips for the coating and target fan: low-pressure tips (LP/FFLP) reduce overspray and improve overlap, especially for trim and doors.
Maintain ~12″ distance, steady speed, and 50% overlap; mask generously for exteriors (practice on scrap to dial in).

Guns, Hoses & Upgrades

If you want lighter triggers and quick rebuilds, consider modern graco airless spray guns such as the Contractor PC line (easy on-the-job cartridge rebuild, lighter pull), with the right RAC tip family for your coatings to balance speed and finish.

Ownership & Maintenance

Match filter mesh to your tip size to reduce spitting and clogs.
Flush immediately after each session; clean tip, guard, and gun filter.
Stock a small kit: spare tip, tip gasket, gun/manifold filters, and a pump repair kit sized for the X7 family (262805 platform).

X5 vs X7: Quick Context

Compared with the X5, the X7 adds a cart, supports a larger tip (.017″), and moves paint a bit faster, benefits you feel on exteriors and multi-room jobs. For a concise comparison and setup tips, see our X7 feature posts: X7 features · X5 vs X7.

FAQ

Can the X7 spray exterior latex without thinning?

Generally yes, match a .015–.017 tip and adjust pressure for an even fan; always follow the coating manufacturer’s guidance.

What gun comes with the X7, and can I upgrade?

It includes the SG2; you can upgrade to a lighter, rebuildable graco airless spray gun like the Contractor PC for frequent use or fine-finish work.

Bottom Line

The X7 is a strong step-up choice for frequent DIY and property work: longer hose runs, larger supported tip size, and a mobile cart save time on big surfaces. Add the right tips and keep a few spares and filters on hand, and you’ll get pro-looking results with fewer stops.
