What the Spray Gun Filter Does

The spray gun filter is one of the final filtration points in an airless spraying system. As coating enters the gun, the filter captures dried paint, debris, and other contaminants before they can reach the spray tip.

A clean filter helps maintain consistent material flow and reduces interruptions caused by plugged spray tips.

As the filter becomes loaded with debris, flow through the gun can become restricted, resulting in reduced performance and unnecessary downtime.

Why 100 Mesh?

A 100 mesh filter provides finer filtration than a 60 mesh filter, making it useful with thinner coatings and smaller spray-tip orifices where additional filtration is beneficial.

The proper filter should always be matched to the coating and spray-tip size being used. Heavier coatings or materials containing larger solids may require a coarser filter.

60 Mesh vs. 100 Mesh Contractor II Filters

Graco Contractor II and FTx II spray guns can use different filter mesh sizes depending on the application:

• 287032 / 287-032 – Black – 60 Mesh
• 287033 / 287-033 – Blue – 100 Mesh

The 60 mesh filter is coarser, while this 100 mesh filter provides finer filtration.

Having both on your site and clearly identifying the part number, color, and mesh size should make it considerably easier for customers to select the correct one.

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

Spray gun filters should be inspected and cleaned regularly. Don't wait until the filter becomes completely plugged and noticeably restricts material flow.

When servicing your airless sprayer, inspect the inlet strainer, outlet manifold filter, spray gun filter, and spray tip. Keeping the entire fluid path clean can prevent many common spraying problems.

Graco has produced numerous spray guns and revisions over the years, and visually similar guns may use different internal components.
