3. Replacement nozzle for Graco GX 21
When applying wall paint with the Graco GX 21, it is recommended to use Graco RAC X LP nozzles, as they spray with less pressure and produce less paint mist. Common nozzle sizes for interior wall painting are 517, 519 or 521. The exact choice of nozzle is highly dependent on the paint and the project, as there are considerable differences (viscosity, solids content, desired spray width) that affect the choice of nozzle size. In the following video we have summarised the most important tips for nozzle selection.
4. Airless whip for the Graco GX 21
Hose whips are screwed between the gun and the main hose and are thinner and more flexible. This makes it easier to guide the gun, takes the strain off the wrist and allows you to work precisely and guide the gun accurately. The following hose clip is 90 cm long and fits the Graco GX 21.
5. Extension for Graco GX 21
It is easier to reach high walls or ceilings with extensions. On the one hand, the ladder or scaffolding is saved, which reduces the work and the risk of accidents. On the other hand, the application of the paint can be better controlled, there is less paint mist and the application of the material to the wall is more even and produces a better finish. The choice of the right length of lance depends on the height of the ceiling in the room and the size of the painter. For the Graco GX 21, lances of different lengths are available: 25 cm, 40 cm, 50 cm and 75 cm. For particularly high ceilings, it is also possible to use a 180 cm extension.
6. Protective Pump Armor
Graco Pump Armor and other preservatives help keep the airless device in working order. The preservative can prevent corrosion and sticking of the valves, especially during long periods of non-use. In the following video we show the use of Pump Armor on the Graco GX 21.
