Now that's Old School. I remember several guys using that setup many years ago.lph400, to be honest it has always been a little slow for me. i use to clear with a binks#7 on a pressure pot.
do you have a pick of this and placement? The reason I ask is when I was spraying Clausens I did it with and older devilibiss I have that has a larger tip size. It uses a plastic washer in the bottom of the nozzle. I had both guns on my bench. When I finished spraying poly and went to epoxy on my lph400, after the first cleanup I notice a plastic washer and was confused where it went. Then I decided I must have left it there from my devilibiss, but maybe not, now I'd like to check.What model Iwata?
I'm a little disappointed with Iwata as I called them a month or so ago to inquire about an Air Gunsa I recently purchased. Upon disassembly of the gun to clean before using it the first time, I noticed a small plastic washer that slips over the backside of the needle that the fluid spring rests on. So I pulled the supplied manual out of the box and looked at the exploded view. It was not shown or listed as a replacement part.
I explained the situation to the gal who answered the phone and she transfered me to an engineer. The engineer didn't answer the call so I left a detailed message and ask for him to call me back. Never got a returned call.
Very poor customer service in my eyes.

That is the exact exploded view I have for my Air Gunsa AZ3 HTE. Hence the reason why I called Iwata to find out why I had that plastic washer, and if it was truly needed.That is not an LPH 400 but rather an AirGunsa AZ3 HTE. I have both.
According to my parts diagram for the AZ3 the washer does not go there.

The only washer is in "C" of the trigger section but I believe that to be an O-ring based on the picture.Just used my air gunsa today. Had a year or 2...never seen that washer in the picture
Shine, while you have more painting experience than I do I have the same issue with my LPH400. It sprays a nice pattern but with the summer heat I have to slow way down and be about 4 -5 inches away. I started using my LPH 440 with a 1.8 to spray epoxy and it’s a lot faster but maybe with a little peel but that’s ok on epoxy.well my love affair with my iwata is over. third time it has let me down. just does not deliver enough product. going back to a hoser . i was running wide open and just couldn't get it slick and wet.
hate to spend the money on a kit and still be unhappy.
Doesn't really matter IMO. Digital will show the pressure at the gun and with the trigger pulled but a regulator will do the same thing. If money is tight, non digital works just fine. BTW, my favorite clear gun of all time is my Sata 5000 RP 1.3 and it's non digital.Speaking of Sata is it better to go with a digital or non? I would be buying for a single stage or clear gun.
