Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 517 tip best for?

The 517 is the standard all round tip for house painting. It sprays a wide fan at a steady flow rate, which suits most primers and topcoats on walls, ceilings and exterior surfaces. It is a good default tip for a contractor gun.

Why does the trigger matter?

A two finger trigger keeps your other fingers wrapped around the grip, which gives a steadier hand and less strain over a long day. It is a small detail that makes the gun easier to control when you are spraying for hours.

How is this different from the Contractor PC gun?

The Contractor PC is Graco’s lighter, newer design with the ProConnect cartridge rebuild and up to 50% lighter trigger pull. This standard Contractor gun is the proven workhorse at a lower price, and it still takes the same RAC X tips and filters.

How do I clear a blocked tip on this gun?

Reverse the RAC X tip by turning it 180 degrees in the guard, then trigger the gun once to blow the blockage out. Turn the tip back and keep spraying. If the blockage returns, the paint may be too thick or the gun filter may be blocked, so check the filter as well.

What is the two finger trigger for?

The two finger trigger lets the rest of your hand stay wrapped around the grip, which gives a steadier hold and less strain over a long day. It is a comfort feature that matters when you spray for hours at a time.
