Can this item be used to exhaust paint thinner and lacquer thinner fumes from my print shop?

Yes, it works quite well for that. It uses a motor that's not open, and won't cause any problems with the fumes. That's one of the reasons I like it. There isn't a fan on the market for that price that moves more air. To move that much air sometimes you'll probably want to make sure you've got the shop vented to provide intake air so it can move enough of it. Hope that helps you out! Fletch

Yes. Use the fine finish adapter for this and remember to clean it out with paint thinner.

Yes... the label says "DANGER! Extremely Flammable". It also works for loosening and cleaning ink residue from inkjet printers!

I think it depends on where and how the fumes are created and what they occupy. If you are thinking of using it for an exhaust fan in a spray booth this will not work. If you are looking more at venting a cabinet or small sealed area that you want a negative pressure environment then this would do that. This is a low volume type fan so it is really designed to create and maintain a negative pressure in a relatively small area. Hope that helps.

Yes, that is what it is designed to do. This is also what I use it for (to run exhaust fans). Although keep in mind that youll have to cut the end off the humidifier as the device only has bare wire connectors.

As an electrician of 20+ years I would definitely say NO. Explosion proof devices have sealed and rated switches and motors. This little rig moves a fair amount of air, but alas I wouldn't recommend it for a paint booth. Also, (as in the other reply) it would need a fresh air intake. This fan draws air in from both sides and pushes it out the front.

I set mine up to draw fumes or hot air out of my garage. It fit perfectly into the opening of a roof vent. It is only max 400cfm so your volumetric flow is not high, but to move some fumes it works. I found paint spray vapor deposited on my fan blades so it does work somewhat ok. But it is not sealed, spark proof or waterproof so think about your application carefully & be sure you are not creating a hazard

Yes, you would use the 9mm brush. The kit works very well and is very low to no odor.

No, it only puts out 0.51 SCFM at 40 psi, so not enough volume for almost all spray guns (it would be ok for an airbrush). Look for a compressor that is specifically stated to work for painting (this one is for filling bike tires, running staple guns and low duty cycle nailers and such that have moderate to high pressure requirements, but have low CFM requirements).

yes. we used it for all those things. Even our kitchen cupboard door! The only thing you have to be aware of is that changing from different paint brands can affect the thickness it will spray on. so always be sure to test and practice each time you change color or brand. We used it in our entire house when we built last year. no problems. but some sherwin williams paints spray on thicker so we had to do a lot of sanding. obviously your primer will go on thinner. ect..

This is a great air compressor for carrying around and will run 2 trim nail guns @ a time or a flooring nailer, but you won't be able to run any kind of larger air tools than that (ratchets, grinders, impact guns, etc.).Probably not enough air volume for even a small paint sprayer to run for more than just a very short time.

my experience with this filter and lacquer paint is not good. you will need a cartridge filter w/charcoal to be effective against any higher concentrations of paint vapors.

You can spray fine lacquer, be sure and get the proper nozzle and check your pressure setting.

I have used mine to spray WD-40, Mineral Spirits, Laquer, etc - If you have difficulty I would say thin it down a little until you get it to spray the way you want but on the above I have used it without any problems

Yes you will need a clean work space and a fine spray tip Rinse machine real well with lacquer thinner to remove any paint that may be in your spray line or gun thin if needed or wanted ( ware a good spray mask with filters )

I don't think so I use it for our emission test printer. Sorry I couldn't help
