Iwata LPH 400
I've seen different comments about the LPH 400. Is this in fact a LVLP gun or a HVLP gun? I see comments that it doesnt use a lot ot air and I've seen others that say its an air hog. I see all positive comments about it but again a lot of different comments about its air requirements. I looked at most of the dealers selling them and I cant find any that list it as LVLP or HVLP gun. Is it somewhere in the middle? This info comes from various paint forums I go to. Some put the psi at 16 to 20 at the gun which leads me to believe its a LVLP. Any info is appreciated. thanx....G

anything you need to know is here on the iwata site . hub will give you all the details you need. i run wide open at the wall and 20 to 22 at the gun. i use all hv fittings . do not use a cheap regulator. most are inaccurate below 35 . i bought one from iwata. i have the lph400 and also the lph100 with the sidewinder cup .

this is a great gun i own two of them. if you can get all three caps, the purple, orange, and the regular one.
i use 1/2 inch hose on my gun with the big fittings for this is what you have to do with these guns the HV is for the high volume of air it needs but will be coming out in LP other guys like Sata but for me this is the bees knees.

when i made the switch i was dumb as a tree stump. i had to learn to paint all over again. to change from 6 to 8 in to 4 to 6 just drove me nuts. once you get moved in on it you will find you can ease down on the pressure some.
