A look at my latest spray gun the Nordson Trilogy AC-AS 1.3mm gravity fed Spray Gun.
Generously donated to the channel by SprayGunsDirect in the UK for purposes of a review, I have decided that this gun will be given away once I have reviewed so stay tuned for the giveaway.
After telling SpraygunsDirect that I was planning on doing a give away with the gun they thought it was a great idea and decided to jump on board and give away an extra 2 guns as well so there will also be a DeVilbiss GPI with all 3 fluid tips 1.4mm, 1.6mm & 1.8mm, and the ANI R150-T 1.0mm mini gun, because I was so impressed with them from previous reviews you may be familiar with.
Although I am yet to use the gun I am very impressed with the overall look of it, it seems to be made to top quality standards and is made in Germany which is always associated with the best quality engineering and quality tools.
This gun has some unique features that the guns I usually use don’t have like a built in analogue gauge on the fan adjustment knob and a swivel on the air fitting at the base of the gun, stay tuned for in depth reviews on how these features preform in real world conditions.
Super excited for this review!!
Nordson are a partner to the company who make the optima trifinity. It’s just rebranded as nordson trilogy for UK sale
Thanks for the info mate.
The company that makes the Optima Trifinity (Bersch und Fratscher GMBH) do not sell the guns directly. They sell them to re-sellers. As you can see on the Gun, it says optima. Durr purchased the Bersch und Fratscher Company, and now they re-branded the whole paint spray gun. But the TEAM behind the guns is still the same and located in Germany
From wiki:
Founded in 1949, Bersch & Fratscher is nowadays one of the leading specialists in the field of surface treatment. With 81 employees and a turnover of 9 million euros it has accumulated a high level of know-how in the fields of paint spray guns, automatic spray painting machines and spraying and drying booths.
they are also branded as Rupes, wiwa and befrag depending on the part of the world you are in
Wow I didn’t realize Rupes was part of the whole thing.
Have you had a chance to use it yet? What does it spray like
Haven’t used it yet mate, 2 weeks.
Just wanted to say I have 43 spray guns SATA ,IWATA ,DEVILBISS ,SAGOLA, SHARPE, OPTIMA, WALCOM, BINKS, SNAP-ON , MANY GUNS , But the OPTIMA 900 AND THE OPTIMA TRIFINITY, are my all time favorites I have been painting 26 years, and I keep current ASE AND iCAR STANDARDS IN THE USA, AND YES spray guns direct ships to the USA only takes a couple of days prices are great and the nordson rebuild kit for the trilogy is the same kit as the optima trifinity , I have both .also you can change this gun from LVLP TO A REDUCED PRESSURE GUN,JUST BY CHANGING AIR CAPS SO HV AND RP STANDARDS BY EXCHANGE AIR CAP LVLP = BASE ,, AS = CLEAR ,, But the trigger position and overall feel of this gun is what makes it so great. like the GTI pro lite the trigger is close to the gun body where as ALL SATA guns have a long trigger pull . small thing but when ur 5′ 10″ the gun feel is important esp when reaching over the hood of an SUV / truck .also very good balance . and finish quality/ speed is equal to the sata ,iwata,devilbiss, and better than many of my other guns ,. cheers and keep up the good work …
I would love one of those guns I currently have a star svl4000 and it would be great to get a high end spray gun .
Hi Gunman, I reckon give the Instagram and FaceAche a miss, not everyone bothers with social media.. I don’t need another small aperture gun (bought the GPI after seeing your review) but will be interested in hearing suggestions for a low cost primer gun.
AZ3 1.8mm for primer, anything cheaper will most likely be garbage and you’ll replace it within a few uses. Yep YouTube it is.
Sicknof the cheap guns bout time I got some cash together and get a good gun be looking into this hint hint to my kids on my birthday since they say they never know what to buy me 🙂
Would you recommend the LVLP version this to someone that’s limited to, say, 6-7cfm@90psi?
I follow all your comments about guns , because I am evaluating which to buy a gift not come to anything wrong and more here in Argentina it is so difficult to get
They want to take your guns. Why would their propaganda involve showing the benefits of you owning guns?
Best gun I have ever used. I shoot urethane & acrylic on aircraft.
