Graco RAC X Hand Tight Tip Guard

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I change a RAC X tip?

Loosen the guard by hand, pull the old tip out, push the new tip in and tighten the guard again. Because it is hand tight, you can change between a 517 and a 619 on site in under a minute without reaching for a wrench.

What does reversible mean?

A reversible tip has a second opening on the back. When the tip clogs, you reverse it, trigger once to blow the blockage out, and flip it back. That keeps a blocked tip from stopping the whole job.

Will this guard fit other tip brands?

It is made for Graco RAC X tips. Other brands use a different guard profile, so stick with the RAC X system for a reliable, sealed fit. If you use a Spray Chief or Wagner gun, check the guard thread type first.

Is the tip guard needed for safety?

Yes. The guard shields the spray fan and protects the tip, and it is the part that stops the operator and the work from touching a live tip. Graco guns are designed to run with the guard fitted, so always use one with a RAC X tip.

How do I know when to replace the guard?

Replace it if the threads are damaged, the guard is cracked, or the tip no longer seats firmly. A loose tip causes an uneven fan and can be dangerous at high pressure. The hand tight design makes swapping a worn guard a quick job.
