850 W Airless Paint Sprayer: How to Choose the Right Spray Tip

27 July 2026

When it comes to achieving a smooth, professional finish on painting jobs, having high-quality equipment is not enough.

Choosing the right spray tip plays a key role in the final result, influencing coverage, paint consumption and application speed.

In this article, we explain how to choose the most suitable tip for each job, the main factors you should consider and how you can get the most out of the VITO 850 W Airless Paint Sprayer.

A System Designed for Demanding Jobs

With 850 W of power, pressure of up to 3000 PSI and a flow rate of 1.1 litres per minute, the Airless Paint Sprayer pressurises the paint and efficiently delivers it directly to the spray gun, without requiring compressed air.

This process makes it possible to cover medium-sized and large surfaces quickly and evenly.

Its main features include:

• Pressure regulator, allowing the spray to be adjusted to suit the job;
• 7.5-metre hose, providing greater freedom of movement;
• Dual filtration system, ensuring a consistent flow;
• Integrated extension, for reaching higher areas;
• Wheeled frame, making the system easier to transport.

 

Preparing the System Before Application

Correct preparation of the machine is essential to ensure a consistent paint flow, prevent faults during spraying and achieve an even finish from the very first pass. Before starting the job, follow these steps:

1. Select the appropriate tip for the type of application you intend to carry out.

2. Prime the system to remove any air from the circuit and ensure that the paint reaches the spray gun continuously.

3. Carry out a spray test and gradually adjust the pressure until you achieve an even spray pattern.

4. Next, inspect and clean the spray gun filter to ensure that it is not retaining particles or impurities that could interfere with the process.

 

Which Tip Is Best for Each Application?

Tip	Spray Angle	Spray Width	Applications
VIMPAB213	20°	100 to 150 mm	Doors, frames, railings and precision work.
VIMPAB313	30°	150 to 200 mm	Furniture, panels and medium-sized parts.
VIMPAB315	30°	150 to 200 mm	Doors, window frames and general painting work.
VIMPAB415	40°	200 to 250 mm	Interior walls, ceilings and panels.
VIMPAB515	50°	250 to 300 mm	Walls, façades and construction coatings.
VIMPAB517	50°	250 to 300 mm	More viscous products and large surfaces.
VIMPAB617	60°	300 to 350 mm	Metal structures, industrial buildings and industrial applications.

 

Why Is Choosing the Right Tip Important?

The tip determines the angle and width of the spray pattern, influencing the area covered with each pass and the amount of paint applied.

• Narrower spray patterns: provide greater control and are suitable for small items or detailed work.
• Wider spray patterns: allow you to work more quickly on walls, ceilings, façades and other large surfaces.

NOTE: In addition to the size of the surface, the viscosity of the product must also be considered, as varnishes and lacquers require a different spray pattern from emulsion paints, primers or anti-corrosion coatings.

The VITO 850 W Airless Paint Sprayer can handle a wide range of painting jobs quickly and consistently. However, the final result depends on the combination of the equipment, pressure, type of paint and spray tip used.

By choosing the tip according to the surface and the desired finish, you can increase productivity, reduce interruptions during the job and achieve a more even application.
