Paint Sprayer Review: Spraytech 1420 Paint Sprayer
The Spraytech 1420 is equipped with a 1/2 HP motor that allows it to move up to 0.25 gallons per minute. The sprayer can deliver a maximum pressure of 2800 PSI. Also, the Spraytech 1420 features a double-stroke piston pump that is designed to pump on both down and up strokes. This allows the Spraytech 1420 to generate enough power to spray most latex paints directly from the can.
The Spraytech 1420 is also versatile enough to be used with oil-based paints from the can. The suction set on the unit can be used with either one or five gallon containers of paint. The Spraytech 1420 is packaged with a lightweight spray gun complete with an inline paint filter. The unit can use any tip up to 0.015 inches and comes with a reversible spray tip.
This paint sprayer features a 25 foot spray hose which has a 1/4-inch diameter. The hose included with the Spraytech 1420 is extremely durable, as it has a polyurethane cover that resists abrasions. It also has a thermoplastic inner tube. The Spraytech 1420 can accommodate any hose that measures up to 75 feet long.
Another nice feature of the Spraytech 1420 is the pusher valve. If you don’t maintain or store your paint sprayer well, paint residue can cause the lower ball to become stuck. Normally, you would have to remove the suction set on the paint sprayer to fix this problem. However, the pusher valve on the Spraytech 1420 allows you to loosen the lower ball without needing to remove the suction set. This is only a problem if you don’t clean the paint sprayer thoroughly after using it, so you won’t need this feature if you do maintain the unit properly.
If you’re looking for an entry-level paint sprayer, then you should consider buying the Spraytech 1420. It is equipped with a 1/2 HP motor that allows the unit to move up to 0.25 gallons per minute. The Spraytech 1420 can deliver up to 2800 PSI and is also powerful enough to spray latex paints directly from the can.
