HVLP Spray Guns
For HVLP spray guns, A1 carries Anest Iwata exclusively, including compact and detail models alongside gun-only and gun/cup packages. The LPH-101 Compact HVLP and LPH-80 HVLP Detail families offer different named formats, while the range also contains suction and pressure-feed choices. Decide the gun format, material supply and purchase scope separately. An HVLP description does not choose the cup, establish an air requirement or specify the rest of the spray station.
What does HVLP mean when I choose a spray gun?
HVLP means high volume, low pressure and describes how atomizing air is used at the gun. Feed type is a separate choice: material can be carried at the gun or brought from a remote pressure source. Choose that delivery arrangement alongside the gun format.
Anest Iwata names the LPH-101 as a Compact HVLP Spray Gun and the LPH-80 as an HVLP Detail Spray Gun. Compare where the gun has to reach and how it will move through the operation. The format decision belongs with that handling plan, while feed and package selection address the material supply and equipment being bought.
How do I choose the nozzle configuration?
Choose the fluid opening around the material's viscosity and the delivery required for the work, using the coating supplier's application guidance. Nozzle size is a gun configuration, while suction or pressure feed describes how material arrives. Make those choices together when specifying the gun and material-supply arrangement.
Within the Anest Iwata range, AZ1HVLP2S versions use suction feed and AZ1HVLP2P versions use pressure feed. Suction carries the container at the gun; pressure feed takes material from a separate pressurized source. Specify that feed arrangement alongside the required nozzle configuration.
Am I buying a complete gun, a gun/cup package or a body?
Anest Iwata's LPH2003 1.0MM gun-only build is described as HVLP High Viscosity, as listed by the manufacturer. The LPH2003 1.4MM Gun/Cup(PC19B) is a different package choice. That changes both the configuration being requested and whether a cup is in the package, so specify the size and purchase scope together.
The LPM200-082 Manifold Gun Body is a body with a nozzle, supplied without the manifold. Decide whether the order calls for that component or a different complete-gun package. For touch-up format selection, Anest Iwata also offers the LPH-50 Touch-Up Spray Gun.
The full spray gun range adds conventional and automatic designs, and wear items are in spray gun parts. For refinish work, our article on Anest Iwata HVLP guns in automotive refinishing goes further.
HVLP Spray Guns: common questions
What does HVLP mean on a spray gun?
HVLP stands for high volume, low pressure and describes the atomizing-air approach. It is separate from how material reaches the gun or whether a cup is included. A1's Anest Iwata range includes compact and detail HVLP formats, with feed arrangement and package scope chosen alongside the technology.
What is the difference between gun only and gun/cup?
Gun/cup identifies a package with a cup; gun only identifies the gun purchase without that cup package. Anest Iwata's LPH2003 choices include a 1.0MM gun-only build and a 1.4MM Gun/Cup(PC19B). Specify the size and package together, since these are different configurations.
Does the LPM200-082 gun body come with a manifold?
The Anest Iwata LPM200-082 Manifold Gun Body is supplied with a nozzle and without the manifold. Choose this scope when the order calls for the body. Keep the manifold as a separate item in the equipment plan rather than treating a body order as the full assembly.
How do I choose between compact, detail and touch-up spray guns?
Start with access to the area being sprayed and how the operator will hold and move the gun. Anest Iwata's range includes the LPH-101 Compact HVLP, LPH-80 HVLP Detail and LPH-50 Touch-Up Spray Gun. These formats belong with the handling decision, while feed and package are chosen separately.
