Roof Tube - .47" Fastener Grade Tip

The Roof Tube 0.47" Fastener Grade Tip (RT-FGT47) is a mid-sized precision tip designed for use with rust primers, top coats, and base coats. Perfect when a 0.625" tip feels too messy or delivers too much material, this size slightly constricts output for a more controlled and consistent application. Its 3D+ printed design offers enhanced durability and reliability, while the tip shape helps maintain a clean “dollop” on fasteners—especially in warmer conditions when mastics loosen.

Key Features:

• Mid-sized precision tip for controlled application on fasteners
• 3D+ printed design for enhanced durability and performance
• Helps maintain a clean “dollop” when materials loosen due to heat
• Ideal when the 0.625 inch tip feels too messy or delivers excessive material

• Inner diameter: 0.47 in
• Material: PVC with 3D+ printed reinforcement
• Compatible materials: rust primers, top coats, base coats; not intended for butter-, seam-, or trowel-grade mastics
• Recommended use: when a 0.625 inch tip dispenses too much material or becomes messy under heat conditions
• Operation tip: remove the tip to draw material, then reinsert with 4–5 turns for optimal performance

• Ensure that the target area is clean, dry, and free of debris or rust.
• Select the 0.47 inch Fastener Grade Tip and securely thread it onto the Roof Tube applicator.
• Draw material into the tube by removing and reinserting the tip with 4–5 turns for best flow.
• Apply the coating with controlled dollops over fastener heads.
• If the output appears too broad or messy, consider switching to the 0.25 inch tip; if it is too restrictive, try the 0.625 inch tip.
• After application, flush the tube and relubricate if you plan to reuse the applicator.
• Once application is complete, apply a compatible sealant—preferably urethane or silicone—not a petro-chemical based sealant.

Q: What materials are best used with this tip?
A: It is designed for rust primers, top coats, and base coats. It is not intended for butter-, seam-, or trowel-grade mastics.

Q: How does this tip compare to the 0.625 inch tip?
A: This 0.47 inch tip constricts material output for a cleaner application. It is preferred when a 0.625 inch tip dispenses too much or creates messy dollops, especially under warm conditions.

Q: What is the benefit of the 3D+ printed design?
A: The 3D+ printed structure provides enhanced durability and consistent performance, especially in rugged job site conditions.

Q: How should I prepare the tip for use to ensure optimal performance?
A: Remove the tip to draw material into the tube, and then reinsert it with 4–5 turns. This ensures proper seating and smooth flow.

Q: What sealant is recommended after sealing?
A: Avoid petro-chemical based sealants. Use a urethane or silicone sealant for long-term durability and compatibility.
