Hi Josh, thanks for taking the time to make this, it really helps clear up the confusion I had with this device. I’m new to spraying and some of the equipment is intimidating. Could you share your wisdom and tips do a vid on priming and cleaning your airless? You have everything so clean!
we use this in the UK a lot , down at 800psi with tri teck and graco lpff tips , its the dog bollox , as well as inside cabinets and trim , its a grate angle finder , just need to get the pressure balanced out
Thank you. I bought an X7 and the clean shot based on people saying extensions cause spatter. I'm doing the trim in my house and all 30 doors right now. I had no idea how to use the sureshot. One question. How do you determine your pump pressure before you dial in the sureshot. I don't know if I'm setting it at 800 or 3200 psi. My pump does not have a gauge. Thank you.
Hi josh are you saying you gradually turn the valve to get it to work and stop when it stops spitting or turn it fully to close it Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge 👍
Hi Josh, great videos! At 2:24 you talk about the throat liquid that you pour into your machine. I am a diy guy and have a graco project sprayer. Do I need this stuff? Any tips would be appreciated.
Hi mate thank you for the positive vibes. Depending on you graco machine but a lot of the project and diy machines do not require throat seal liquid I'm sure this would be the same for your machine👍 hope this helps mate
So If You Have The Clean shot valve dialed into the "Flush" position. Can it be used strictly as a directional for spraying ceilings where one may not need necessarily the spit free. Thus saving wear and tear on the clean shot valve??
Josh any advice on when the cleanshot no longer holds its swivel? I've only used my band new one 4x and it still holds pressure but now the neck is very loose and will no longer hold a twisted position against gravity. The 180 valve just droops and falls making it useless now. Maybe i've blown a seal? I can't figure out how to fix it, it's basically new
Thsts strange, iv sprayed through them literally hundreds of times and never had that problem. Mine recently was still spitting so for first time I soaked in thinners then pulled apart to clean and see what was actually inside. Im no expert in the workings of part but definitely dosnt sound right only after 4 uses. Good luck
@@maxa3221 no worries, I was also wondering, it could be as simple as the little nut holding the swivel bit on may of loosened a bit and might need tightening. Again though iv never had that happen.
@@adxn7946 Ya for sure but that part was never loose. That nut ties the whole swivel ('35a' in the diagram) to the rest of the actual valve. The broken part is whatever hold the swivel itself together and allows the neck to rotate 360 - there's a joint between the threading and the neck of the swivel. The warranty guy is responding so i'll let you know but I have a feeling it's a product failure. The repair kit is entirely for the valve side/spring. This is a swivel joint issue entirely. appreciate the ideas.
@@maxa3221 fair enough hope it get resolved for you, are you a painter by trade if so where do you operate, Im Melbourne Australia painting sinse about 94/95 and here i am watching someone do what iv seen and done everyday for decades. Funny when you thing how fkn sad that is lol
Every time you finish using the Clean shot, strip it. Even after flushing it will still have paint in it. Dont over tighten the 2 x 5/8 nuts. Just nipped is enough. I put a tiny smear of Vaseline on the O/ring before assembling
Solid no time wasted tip.
Appreciate it 💯🙏
A must have for anyone who's spraying 👌
Definitely bro! Love my Cleanshot 💯
So well said man! Thanks for the awesome video and getting the right info out there 🙌🏼
No worries Bro! Happy to share what knowledge I have! The Cleanshot has been a grey area for a lot of painters. 🤙🤙
brilliant vid josh
Good stuff Josh. I just bought that attachment, now I know what to expect. Thanks
Good to hear mate, you are going to love it
Just bought one. Thanks for the instructions. 👍🏼
Legend you gonna love this cleanshot💯 Today we spray

Awesome glad you found this useful Garcia. I will do a video in the next few weeks on priming and cleaning out the machine🙏🤙 cheers
Great work Josh great video
I don't have a cleanshot yet but it's on the list. now when I use the extension I am forced to finish the jet in the air. thanks for the explanation!
Definitely a good investment that's for sure. Been there with the extension and no cleanshot. Finger on the trigger and don't let go 😂🤙
Thanks Josh!
Good video man thanks
Cheers mate🙏🤙
So you can use an fflp on the clean shot ? Hell yeah I’m about to buy 1 🤙🏼
Sure can! That's what we recommend 🔥
Hi, do I need a Clean Shot device if I am going to use an extension for Graco Quick Shot gun? Thanks
great explanation
we use this in the UK a lot , down at 800psi with tri teck and graco lpff tips , its the dog bollox , as well as inside cabinets and trim , its a grate angle finder , just need to get the pressure balanced out
Sounds like a awesome setup mate. Definitely helps with them hard to reach places💯 🙏

Yeah brother exactly right just until it stops spitting in a lot of cases its fully turned 🙏🤙 respect
thx mate

Thanks Josh! After further investigation the pump is a sealed unit on my little sprayer.
@@adamsapple65 awesome mate I thought so 👍
Hi Josh great video. What pressure do you run on with fflp tips? Cheers JB
Depends on what product, what machine, the temperature. Rule of thumb is when it stops lining i start painting 🙏
What difference is there between the 495 and 595?
Great video mate, should mention about cleaning of the clean shot?
Winding all the way out to flush
Will do one up brother appreciate the comment💯🤙
Hey bro, where can I purchase one of ur jumpers like the one you're wearing?
So If You Have The Clean shot valve dialed into the "Flush" position. Can it be used strictly as a directional for spraying ceilings where one may not need necessarily the spit free. Thus saving wear and tear on the clean shot valve??
Hi John. No if the Cleanshot is left in flush position while you spray it will not come out a fan pattern with alot of splatter from my experience 👍🙏

hi josh how much is your cleanshot?

What if I’m only using a 10 inch extension, still need this? Thx
any extension will leave paint in it without pressure. So when you start spraying again it will splatter with the paint left in the extension.
@@chris560 So extensions basically suck then! 😁👍🏻
@@tundrawhisperer4821 if you know where to start and stop no. They are very valuable. The sure shot can help with spurts.
I don’t understand why these are required, I just spray with my gun and the finish is fine,?
They are not required but definitely eliminates spits when running extension. And with the swivel you can Spray horizontally without using a ladder👍🤙🙏
Sorry but I seem to have missed the OUTs of this valve...
4:54 through 4:56 🤔
Don't get it mate. What's the problem?
The drip
@@brianyates5224 cool👍
Hope he has his drop cloth out there. 🤣
