Product Information
Full details
The Graco RAC X 519 spray tip is designed for professional painters and contractors who require high-volume, efficient coverage for both residential and commercial projects. Its primary benefit is a consistent, wide spray pattern that minimizes the number of passes required, significantly increasing productivity on large surfaces. However, users should note that the high flow rate of the 519 size makes it less suitable for precision detailing or fine finish work where heavy overspray must be avoided.

FAQs
What does the 519 number mean?
The first digit (5) doubled indicates a 10-inch fan width, and the last two digits (19) indicate a .019-inch orifice size.
Can I use this tip with any airless sprayer?
It is designed for use with the Graco RAC X guard system; it will fit most professional airless spray guns that utilize standard 7/8-inch thread guards.
How do I clear a clog?
Simply rotate the tip 180 degrees to the 'clear' position and trigger the gun into a waste container to blast out the obstruction.
Is this suitable for fine finish woodworking?
No, the 519 tip has a high flow rate and large orifice, which will likely result in excessive material application and poor finish quality for fine woodworking.
How long should a tip last?
Longevity depends on the abrasiveness of the coating, but professional tips typically maintain their pattern for several gallons of material if cleaned and stored properly.
Troubleshooting
Spray pattern is spitting or pulsing
Check for clogged filters in the gun or manifold, and ensure the tip is fully locked in the forward spray position.
Pattern has 'tails' or uneven edges
Increase the pump pressure slightly or thin the paint if the viscosity is too high for the .019 orifice.
Tip clogs frequently
Ensure paint is properly strained before being loaded into the sprayer, and check that the suction filter is clean.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High flow rate for fast, large-area coverage
- Reliable and consistent fan pattern
- Easy to clean and maintain
- Compatible with standard Graco RAC X guards
Cons
- Higher overspray potential compared to smaller orifice tips
- Not intended for intricate or narrow surface painting
- Requires high-capacity airless sprayer for optimal performance
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the tip, ensure the RAC X guard is properly attached to your spray gun. Insert the tip into the guard with the arrow pointing toward the front, then lock it into the spray position. Always verify that the tip is fully seated before pressurizing the system.
Compatibility: This tip is compatible with the Graco RAC X HandTite guard system. Care should be taken to flush the tip immediately after use using the appropriate solvent for your material (water for latex, mineral spirits for oil-based). Never use a wire brush or sharp metal object to clean the orifice, as this will damage the precision-machined opening and distort the spray pattern.
