CRACKED SPRAY TIP

Anyone have a problem with cracked spray tip, This is the third tip with a crack last tip only 2 pails of paint through it . Please help

What kind of tip are you using and where is it cracking? Sounds very odd.

NEVER heard of that happening before ever!

Is it cracking on the barrel of the tip? Simply bring it back and get a new tip under warranty. I hear of it every now and then. 3-4 times per year.

Perhaps the "cracked" terminology emanates from a questionable source. Sounds more like a weird world post. Newbie poster, "cracked", 2 pails of paint....watch poopieworld and see if they respond....dead give-away.

I have had tips crack before. Only two or three in 5 years though. Send it back.

Just curious. What part of the tip cracks and where? What are the symptons when it does? Does it not spray anymore? Sprays too much? Paint go everywhere? Etc. 'Been thru hundreds and never had anything but the plactic break from hitting curbs. It would be good to know what to watch out for in case it could possibly cause something to get painted other than the pavement.

I noticed that one of our grayco tips (#315) had cracked the other day. It cracked on the side from the orifice all the way around. It was a pretty old tip though.

It was just a hairline crack, I didn't try it to see it it worked. It cracked from the orifice around to where the entrance hole

I've never had a cracked tip. Worn out lots of them...

Do not use a tip that the barrel has cracked. Return it to the store for a replacement under warranty. I do not want Carbide insert flying out because they are not secured the way they are supposed to be. Cracked barrels occur at times, but it is very rare. Something in the machining process or a bad run I guess: too much heat of poor installation of the carbide(?), not sure. In any event don't use it, get another, and move on.

Check your pressure it may be too high . If that's not the problem then try turning down the rpm of the motor. I hope this helps . (LINE by LINE)

The wife gave me a cracked head once, does that count?
