freedhardwoods Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 I have decided on a Fuji Mini Mite 4 for my spray system. My question is about accessories. I read somewhere about a cheaper, different brand of gun that some people bought as extra guns and were happy with. I can't find the article/thread. Does anyone here have another brand of gun that works with their Fuji setup? Also, what kind of pressure pot do some of you have? Would making a pressure pot be conceivable? Many people run 120psi air pressure in pvc. Why couldn't a person make a small 8-10 psi pressure pot? Any other info about your spray systems would be appreciated.

Tpt life Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 I ran shop air in PVC with a guy once and it got swapped out inside six months. I don't remember the exact issue as it was not my shop and the system should have been ok in theory. I think it had to do with the type of moving chunks in a failure of unknown cause. Just a heads up. If you use PVC, glue every joint yourself and trust no one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it's an AeroJet, model RS1 a good way to get multiple guns for different finish types. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlau Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 i wouldnt suggest pvc for a air line. i had it for awhile and came into the shop and had air blowing constant it had shattered at one of the turns.. the mainline blew apart.. mine was only 3/4" lines, but i have a friend in Missouri who had it happen on a 1.5" line in a large shop.. i switched mine out to copper.. he ran black pipe.

wdwerker Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 I had a rubber air hose that got left under pressure one Friday night. It blew over the weekend and the 5 hp compressor ran non stop all weekend . Cooked the head & gasket & valves and covered the shop in oil fog. Now we unplug the hoses and shut off the compressor every night. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post estesbubba Posted March 6, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 I have the 3M PPS system and love it despite the price. It a has a lot of advantages including shoot at any angle, don't have to filter finishes, and cleanup is a breeze. Double check adapter for your gun. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0020K5I28/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000RI0GIG/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000ANXZ7W/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I would consider the whip hose a needed accessory.

Thinner more flexible hose between the main hose and gun. https://www.amazon.com/Fuji-2049F-6-Foot-Flexible-Whip/dp/B0000UJJD4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1490751410&sr=8-1&keywords=fuji+whip+hose 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am too proud for sloppy seconds I think Jeff Jewitt sells the fuji systems with an optional PPS upgrade. homesteadfinishingproducts.com. I bought my fuji from Jeff and a few months later bought all the PPS stuff on amazon and bought a lot of the wrong parts. It is easier to just buy it all at once. I bought a box of 100 liners and filters. I will die of VOC exposure before I use them all. The 3M PPS system sounds like a good way to go. So I don't end up with wrong parts like mike did above, will the items I listed below from http://homesteadfinishingproducts.com/products-we-offer/hvlp-spray-equipment/fuji-spray/ be all I need to be ready to go? Would it be a good idea to order 1 (or more) different size nozzle set(s) #2904-T70 – $799.00 – (with 1000cc siphon style pressurized cup) #H/O-PKG – $159.00 – includes 1 cup and collar, 25 lids and liners and #18 (suction), #24 or #2 (for gravity) adapter #2049F – 6′ flex whip hose – $34.90 #2046 – quick disconnect – $5.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
