TEKNA Clearcoat Gravity Feed Spray Gun
IMPORTANT: Read and follow all instructions and Safety Precautions
before using this equipment. Keep for future use.
DeVilbiss Automotive Refinishing reserve the right to modify equipment
specification without prior notice.
Operational Description
The TEKNA
spray gun is a lightweight professional gun
Clearcoat
designed to handle both water-based and solvent-based coating
materials. Both HVLP and high efficiency models are available.
High volume, low pressure (HVLP) models are designed to reduce
overspray and provide maximum transfer efficiency by limiting air cap
pressure to 0.7 bar (10 psi) (complies with rules issued by SCAQMD
and other air quality authorities).
HVLP models will produce approximately 0.7 bar (10 psi) air cap
pressure at 1.6 bar (24 psi) gun inlet pressure with the trigger
pulled. HVLP air cap #HV30 is designed for optimum Clearcoat
applications. An air cap test kit is available (see Accessories) which
can be utilized to set the exact air cap pressure.
High efficiency models use air cap #TE25. These models are
designed to provide optimum atomization of virtually all waterborne
or solvent-based common coating materials at increased application

rates while maintaining very high transfer efficiency. High efficiency
models, when tested under recommended conditions with
automotive refinishing materials, have been found to exceed 65%
transfer efficiency.
Refer to the website www.autorefinishdevilbiss.com for a
complete listing of approved areas and requirements for regulatory
compliance.
IMPORTANT: These guns are not designed for use with highly
corrosive and/or abrasive materials and if used with such materials
it must be expected that the need for cleaning and/or replacement
of parts will be increased. If there is any doubt regarding the
suitability of a specific material, contact your TEKNA Distributor.
NOTE: This gun is not to be used with halogenated hydrocarbon
solvents or cleaning agents such as 1,1,1,-Trichloroethane or
methylene chloride. These solvents can react with the aluminium
components used in this gun and cup. The reaction can become
violent and lead to an equipment explosion.
NOTE:
When used with the HVLP
cap, this gun can be used
anywhere—both in mandated
HVLP and unregulated areas.
Consult your local air quality
management agency with any
questions regarding HVLP or
compliance requirements in
your area.
