Connectivity Guide For Cups and Tips
Extend Your Reach and Save Barrel Tip Threads
What you need to use standard 1/4” and 3/8” contact tips on some of MK Products’ most popular guns.
MK Products delivers guns with a standard contact tip and standard gas cup.
This guide shows how each gun has the potential to be re-configured to meet nearly any requirement you may have. All MK Products push-pull guns can be fitted with a tip extender; in fact, they probably should be. Not only can tip extenders extend the reach of your gun, but they also protect the threaded end of your barrel from damage.
Some extenders are stackable and some are not – check your product catalog to determine the difference.
Adapters allow you to change the output rating on your guns by changing the contact tip and gas cup configuration to a “beefier” tip & cup configuration.
Standard 1/4-inch contact tip configured barrels (Cobra® MX and Cobra® Gold) can be changed to a MAX tip and cup configuration by using P/N 003-2210.
Refer to this guide or contact your MK Products Representative or Customer Service for more information.
