Holy cow. Went from regular hardware store I/M air connectors in my shop to Milton V-Type connectors. Set up my LPH400 and whereas before I needed 40psi at the wall to see 16-18psi at the gun with the trigger pulled, now I need 80psi at the wall. So set up my W400LV. Similar thing. 70psi at the wall gets me 20psi on it with the trigger pulled.
So that got me to thinking about the air column and volume increase. Ran the numbers and .195 orifice(I/M connectors) vs .305 orifice(V-Type) is a 252% increase in volume to get to the same pressure.
I was really surprised at the difference in changing nothing but the connectors.
