Engineering Spotlight

by Mark Weinberger, Engineering Manager

At Graco, we feel that the Graco Fusion® CS Gun has unprecedented features, which will change the way your customers spray. In addition to the improved quality, the Fusion CS gun provides economic benefits by maximizing daily spraying uptime as well as reducing time and money on material.

Contractors confirm the Clear Shot™ Liquid maintains a clean pattern throughout the day, maximizing foam yield and productivity with minimal training.

The variable flow device is another feature appreciated by contractors. Graco recommends setting up with a 02 mix chamber, adjusting the variable flow to about half-flow, giving you the performance of an 01 mix chamber. It’s like getting a 01 mix chamber for free! Other sprayers have found reducing the flow to near minimum setting creates a streaming pattern, perfect for spraying hard to reach areas.

Other elements like the short trigger pull reducing operator fatigue, hose manifold with ball valves for tool-less operation, ChromeX coated mix chambers and sides seals for maximum life, less purge-air reducing foam blowback and light weight make the Fusion CS gun the best gun available.
