Perfect for interior walls
This tip provided a very smooth finish on my living room walls. The fan width was consistent and there was minimal overspray. Highly recommend for standard latex paint.

Solid performance for staining
Used this for deck staining projects. The 0.017 orifice handled the stain viscosity well. Would prefer a slightly wider fan option for larger surfaces.

Lasted through whole house
I was worried about durability but this tip held up through painting my entire house exterior. The tungsten carbide material really makes a difference in longevity.

Good quality but requires cleaning
Works well with my Graco Magnum. I did notice it clogged slightly when using thicker primer, but cleaning it solved the issue. Durable construction.

Easy to install
Snaps into the holder very securely. No leaks around the tip during operation. The green color code makes it easy to identify in my toolbox.
Q: Can this handle thick elastomeric coatings?
A: For thick elastomeric coatings, we recommend a larger orifice size such as 0.021 or 0.023 to prevent clogging and ensure proper flow.
Q: What does the number 517 stand for?
A: The first digit multiplied by 2 indicates the fan width in inches (5 x 2 = 10 inches). The last two digits indicate the orifice size in thousandths of an inch (0.017).
Q: How should I clean this tip after use?
A: Remove the tip from the gun and soak it in the appropriate solvent for the material used, such as water for latex or mineral spirits for oil-based products.
Q: Is the tip guard included in this package?
A: No, this package contains only the spray tip. The tip guard and tip holder are sold separately or come with the spray gun unit.
Q: Will this tip fit a Graco Magnum X5?
A: Yes, the 517 RAC IV SwitchTip is fully compatible with the Graco Magnum X5 and most other Graco airless spray guns.
