Graco Cleanshot II swivel-head

The Graco Cleanshot swivel head is arguably one of the best airless accessories ever produced.  It is simple in concept and it works; usually mounted on an airless pole extension to eliminate the substantial spit of paint that would occur if a simple swivel head was used.  It has a pressure limiting valve which cuts off the paint flow when the pressure drops below the amount needed to atomise the paint, a bit like a diesel injector.

When the system is flushed through, either to fill it with paint or to clean it out, the pressure valve is lifted off its seat by turning a knurled knob, anti-clockwise to lift for flushing, clockwise to set it back in the working position for spraying.

It is supplied with a 517 reversible spray tip.
