Review on 💦 Paint Gun Parts - Air Adjusting Valve (DEVHAV501) by Joshua Nation

Works well with many of my BINKS HVLP guns (MACH 1, MACH 1 SLA and M1G) when spraying heavier water based materials with large liquid and air nozzles. It's so strange that this "regulator" is recommended for use with HVLP pistols, and not the more expensive diaphragm models. They don't post flow rates on their regulators, and diaphragm regulators don't flow enough cfm to spray with large air caps. They will tell you pistols can last up to 22.5 hours. Cube fpm with 95 or 97 air caps, but they won't tell you their more expensive diaphragm regulators have a 10 or 15 std max flow rate. Cube feet per minute! Very upset that my $500 and $600 spray guns had to use a $25 regulator instead of a $60 regulator to work properly. I've spent over $500 over the years buying and rebuilding diaphragm regulators. It should be noted that this is the only thing BINKS recommends for their HVLPs, and they also don't use more expensive reed valve blocks. I only discovered this after switching from solvent based materials (thinner) to water based materials (heavier) and calling Tech a few times because it's not very clear in the product information materials. I've always assumed that the more expensive diaphragm regulators let more air through than the cheaper "regulators" with air valves. They don't.
