What the Spray Gun Filter Does

The gun filter is one of the last components the coating passes through before reaching the spray tip. Its job is to capture dried paint, coating debris, and other contaminants that have made it through the sprayer's other filtration stages.

A clean gun filter helps reduce tip plugging and interruptions while spraying. As the filter becomes loaded with material, flow through the gun can become restricted.

Why 100 Mesh?

A 100 mesh filter provides relatively fine filtration and can be useful when spraying thinner coatings or using smaller spray tips where preventing small particles from reaching the tip is especially important.

The proper filter mesh depends on the material being sprayed and the spray-tip orifice size. Heavier coatings and materials containing larger solids may require a coarser filter.

Common Reasons for Replacement:

• Filter screen is torn or damaged
• Filter is crushed or distorted
• Dried coating cannot be completely removed
• Frequent spray-tip plugging
• Restricted material flow through the gun
• Existing filter is missing
• Routine spray gun maintenance

Airless Sprayer Maintenance Tip

The spray gun filter is inexpensive compared with the time lost repeatedly clearing a plugged spray tip. Inspect and clean the filter regularly, particularly when spraying material that tends to dry quickly or contains contaminants.

When servicing the filtration system, it's also a good idea to inspect the sprayer inlet strainer, outlet manifold filter, gun filter, and spray tip. Keeping the entire fluid path clean helps maintain consistent spraying performance.

Finding Parts for Older Graco Equipment

Graco has produced many versions of its Contractor and Magnum spray guns over the years, and older guns can remain in service for decades.

That's why we include the original Graco part number and compatible spray gun models whenever possible—making it easier to identify the correct maintenance and repair parts before ordering.
