Paint Sprayer Tips & Extensions

Paint sprayer tips and extensions are the parts that turn pumping paint into a controlled, professional spray. The right tip size and fan pattern give you smooth coverage, crisp edges, and fewer runs, while extensions help you reach ceilings, eaves, high walls, and tight corners without moving a ladder every few minutes. Choose airless tips for latex and acrylics, HVLP tips for fine finishes, and reversible clog‑busting tips to clear blockages with a quick twist. Match the orifice to the coating: 0.013–0.015 for enamels and lacquers, 0.015–0.017 for stains and thin latex, 0.017–0.021 for thicker interior/exterior latex. Fan width codes like 210, 310, 515 help you size the spray to trim, doors, siding, or fences. A tip guard, inline filter, and proper pressure reduce overspray and improve transfer efficiency, saving paint and cleanup time.

Extensions, poles, and tip swivels add reach and control. A 10–30 inch rigid extension is ideal for cutting in ceilings and rolling walls with an airless sprayer; longer poles and angled adapters help you coat soffits, stairwells, and two‑story exteriors from safer footing. Use a lightweight extension for overhead work and a 180° swivel at the guard to fine‑tune the spray angle on cabinets, railings, and trim. For best results, strain coatings, use the manufacturer’s filter mesh, and start with the lowest pressure that fully atomizes. Test on cardboard to verify fan size and pattern before you spray the project. Replace worn tips—an ovalized orifice doubles paint use and leaves tails at the edges. Keep a spare reversible tip and seal kit on hand for fast swaps. With the right paint sprayer tips & extensions, you’ll work faster, cut overspray, and produce a consistent, professional finish. Browse options by brand compatibility, thread size, maximum PSI, and material to ensure a perfect match for your spray gun.
