Spray-Gun Holder from Plumbing Parts
Jul 27, 2007
When setting up a new high-volume, low-pressure (HVLP) finishing system, I realized that the spray gun would be difficult to set down because the hose is large and causes the sprayer to tip. Knowing that I might have to set the gun down several times while spraying, I needed a holder of some kind.
To make one, I slid a 4-in. PVC pipe coupling onto a 4-in. PVC toilet flange, then I screwed the flange to a board. Now I move the board anyplace I’m working and clamp it in place. It works great.
