Graco GX21 Filter. Installing The Sprayman UK Manifold Filter

Unlike the larger Graco airless paint sprayers, the GX family (GX21 and GXFF / GX19) don’t come with a manifold filter as standard.. This is purely to keep the purchase cost down for the Painting and Decorating market. The GX21 and GXFF (GX19) comes with a small onboard filter...
➡️ In this video you’ll see how to instructions to access, clean or replace the GX21 hidden filter.. Then if installing a Sprayman UK manifold filter, you can leave this out..
➡️ All airless spray machines can benefit from having a larger manifold filter installed. See how to install a Sprayman UK Manifold Filter..

The much larger cross sectional area of filtration, not only drastically reduces tip blockages when spraying, but has the added benefit of helping to iron out pulsation, as the bottle design manifold housing acts as a dampener reservoir.

    Hi Derek, you make a valid point.. it’s simply down to cost and keeping the cost affordable for the P&D market.. to include a manifold filter as standard would bump up the shelf price of the GX models.. I guess from a manufacturers standpoint, if there wasn’t an onboard filter whatsoever, there would be a risk of damage if poor quality unstrained paints were used.. bit like an electrical fuse, you’re adding a layer of protection.. all Graco sprayers are ready to go out the box, upgrades are purely optional.. hopper, gun upgrades etc.. hope that helps my friend.. you do make a good point 👌

    Hi Niall.. sorry for not getting back to you sooner, I will always reply my friend.. thank you so much for the kind words of support, and I appreciate your update on your kitchen.. well done that’s quite an achievement 👏👍.. if I recall you used the GXFF, (and FFLP tip).. the spits could be from the wrong tip seat / gasket for an FFLP tip.. the LP uses a larger orifice and FFLP a smaller, if a larger setup is used with the FFLP tip, you can get a spit.. This short video demonstrates the difference.. kzread.info/dash/bejne/aZ53zptqmqnWcto.html I wouldn’t choose diamond eggshell personally, but I can appreciate and respect the custoner choice.. I can offer some advice in future on product selection if that would help Regarding the paint strainer, I believe Brewers sell the individual Trimaco strainers.. sane as I use, I buy them in packs.. they surprisingly fit the hopper, they just take a bit of force 😆 Hope this covers your points, feel free to get back to me if you need anything.. regards Pete

    Hey Paul, thank you so much.. as always I appreciate your feedback and support.. I’m not going to lie, the well built construction of the manifold filter is weighty and certainly adds to the weight of the GX21.. I’m on the same page as you, I love my 395, but i find it awkward to manoeuvre.. then there’s the weight of the 110v transformer 🙈 ..I know the offset handle on Graco stand mount pumps is supposed to make carrying easier, but I do find the 2 handle design of the GX21 easier.. great to hear from you Paul, hope you’re keeping well my friend 💯

    Hey Niall, I personally prefer a compressor air spray setup with a pressure pot Vs a turbine ..a regulated pressure pot allows more dedicated air at the gun, which helps atomise thicker (decorative) coatings.. you also get more equipment for your money.. my recent HSL video features this setup.. another advantage of a compressor (with sufficient CFM), you’re a step closer to going AAA (Air Assisted Airless).. equals the ultimate setup for fine finish spraying (such as cabinets), with little to no overspray 👍👌 ..regards Pete
