Need finer filtration?

If you’re spraying lower-viscosity coatings and want finer filtration, choose our finer mesh inlet filter Graco Ref: G181072.

Why inlet strainers matter:

In a standard airless spray system, paint typically passes through three stages of filtration before atomisation:

  1. Inlet filter (largest filtration)
  2. Pump filter
  3. Gun filter (finest filtration)

Keeping the inlet strainer clean and correctly matched to your coating helps maintain steady flow, improves spray consistency, and reduces the chance of costly pump damage.
