Correct attachment of airless sprayer suction hose – PT 1

BlastOne’s Master Technician, Kerry Cooper, shows how to correctly attach an airless sprayer suction hose

I’ll put the suction hose on this pump.

And before we use any of these pumps, we’ll make sure that they work.

So, if I connect this suction hose, which also got a taper or a beveled edge section in there — which goes home to the seal.

These are what we call knockdown pumps.

So, you can actually use a hammer on these to secure the fittings on the lower section of the pump itself.

So, by securing the suction hose on to the pump it’s imperative with airless hose or any delivery side of the hose that there are no leaks.

If they suck here, the palm won’t perform to its optimum.

So, with a hammer, I can tighten this to ensure that this hose doesn’t spin around so that’s all well and good.

I’ve tightened that. But does the stem of the hose sit up correctly?

So, if it sits upright, I’ve done it correctly.

What I can do is if I knock that off again and loosen that, I can turn the hose to where I want it and the taper will pinch the hose in the position I require like so.

So, as mentioned, what we need to do is to ensure that the pump works before we mix paint and put paint through the pump.

So, is this clean?

Yes, it is. So, ensure that this is clean. All your fittings are clean and everything is good to go.

So, with that immersed in the solvent I can now see if the pump actuates and pumps correctly.
