- Ever wondered exactly which spray tip you should be using for your line marking machine? Me too!
Today we purchased every XHD tip size we would practically use for line marking car parks and attached it to our Graco Es1000 electric line marking machine.
We started out at 1500 psi and 6" from the ground but moved to 2000psi as we found it worked a little bit better for us.
After spending hundreds on new tips, I have found my new favourite and that means the rest are....well, I'll keep them, but i probably wont get them out again!

Thank god you made this video! I’ve been looking for one for ages! 👌
Thanks Sam, I hope you're doing well. I just got your message on LinkedIn. Anyone interested in a tip saver can find them here: www.sprayman.co.uk/product/tipsaver/
Hey Alex,
Graco XHD series tips are designed only for heavy duty applications like coal tar etc.
For smooth lines with nice cut offs you want to use the yellow handle LineLazer RAC 5 SwitchTips. I use a 219 or 319 on my LineLazer for asphalt carpark lines and hatchings.
See video about tips below:

Thanks for your feedback - always great to hear what others are using.
We used to use the yellow tip RAC 5's that you mention - thats what we've moved from following guidance from SprayDirect. As a result, we're finding the XHD's do much better for our lines!
Good video. How do you determine when a tip has reached the end if it's usable life?
Great question thanks. I think it warrants a video all on it's own.Give me 10 mins and I'll get a video out for you!
Here's a very quick video on spray tips: ruclips.net/video/bu71Rzx3UKI/видео.html
@@AlexCIrving Thanks so much for putting that video up Alex, much appreciated.
You're most welcome!
my pressure pump is giving me so much problem
What sort of issues are you getting?
@@AlexCIrving the pump loses pressure and it is not spraying
That sounds like the packings could be worn. Depending on the machine, you could pick up a pack seal kit and fairly easily change it.
I had this issue last week on my 5900 and ordered a repair kit. Here's a link for the repair kits we use - you will be able to find your model number here (assuming it's Graco) and then note down the repair kit parts list number to order from your chosen dealer.

for other machines such as the ES 1000, I just change the whole pump as it's cheap and easy.
If you can't see your model easily, hit CNTRL / CMD (on mac) F and then type in 5900 for example. that will highlight the kit for you and you can then order from these guys in the UK or type in the part no to get it elsewhere in the world.
does it sound like this? ruclips.net/video/5DjP58PDyAs/видео.htmlsi=Esjdyr72IMvwVLrs
