5.0 out of 5 stars Buy this nozzle for latex applications, January 10, 2007

If you are spraying a latex product with an HVLP air sprayer, don't even bother with the 2.0mm nozzle kit - go straight to the 2.2mm Nozzle Kit. I have the Porter Cable HVLP air sprayer and I originally bought the 2.0mm nozzle and it would only work if I really watered down the paint. The problem with that is I hardly got any coverage and it was very runny.
So then I went with the 2.2mm Nozzle and I didn't have to thin the paint if I didn't want to. However, it did spray a little bit better when I added about 5-10% water and 10% Floetrol @ 45 PSI. The Floetrol will make the paint lay more evenly.
So if you need to spray latex paint, buy the 2.2mm Nozzle right away and you won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great on my Harbor Freight 43430 Gun, August 14, 2005

I own a Harbor Freight 43430 spray gun that is only available with a 1.3mm nozzle. HF does not offer other nozzles for the 43430. I had heard that the HF gun was identical to the PC PSH1 gun. While I do not know if they are identical, the PC 2.2 nozzle fits the HF 43430 perfectly and allows me to spray thicker coatings that are difficult/impossible to spray with the 1.3mm nozzle that comes with the HF 43430.

5.0 out of 5 stars Minnesota Charlie, July 10, 2006

I purchased the PSH1 sprayer based on the positive reviews of others. They suggested a large nozzle and so I had to choose between the 2.0 and 2.2. I went with the larger and the results are good. I sprayed the interior walls with latex KILZ then two coats of exterior latex house paint. I thinned the primer and paint at 10% with water and no trouble with plugging or spattering, nice finish to treated plywood, OSB, and pine board. I used a Makita MAC 2400 compressor to supply the air. Very glad I bought the sprayer because it saved me hours of labor if I used a roller and brush.
