WAGNER GM 5000EAF-FM Low-Resistance Electrostatic AirSpray Package – 2396204
Fine Atomization for Compatible Low-Resistance Coatings
The WAGNER GM 5000EAF-FM Low-Resistance AirSpray Package (2396204) combines conventional air atomization with electrostatic attraction to produce a soft, adjustable fan pattern and professional finish quality. This configuration is designed for compatible solvent-borne coatings requiring WAGNER’s low-resistance hose package.
Some finishes reveal every decision made during application. Air pressure, material flow, gun distance, and spray-pattern adjustment all leave their mark. The GM 5000EAF gives the operator the control needed to manage those details while electrostatic attraction helps direct charged coating toward a properly grounded workpiece.
The matched 1.4 mm fluid nozzle and 1.0–1.4W air cap provide fine AirSpray atomization for applications where surface appearance is a priority. The integrated high-voltage cascade charges the coating at the gun, while the VM 5000 controller manages and monitors electrostatic operation.

Why Choose Electrostatic AirSpray?
-
Fine air atomization: Compressed air breaks the coating into controlled droplets for a smooth surface appearance.
-
Adjustable fan pattern: Allows the operator to match pattern width and material delivery to the workpiece.
-
Electrostatic attraction: Helps draw charged coating toward a properly grounded conductive part.
-
Low-resistance configuration: Supports compatible coatings requiring WAGNER’s low-resistance hose package.
-
Improved transfer efficiency: Properly configured electrostatics can help place more coating on the product.
-
Reduced overspray: Better coating placement can help lower material waste, booth loading, and cleanup requirements.
-
Wraparound coverage: Electrostatic attraction can help coating reach edges, tubing, sides, and partially concealed surfaces.
Designed for Operator Control
-
Ergonomic gun design: A lightweight, balanced body helps reduce fatigue during extended production spraying.
-
Low trigger force: Supports comfortable operation through repeated spray cycles.
-
Flexible electrode: Applies the charge at the material nozzle and supports consistent electrostatic performance.
-
Matched air cap and nozzle: Provides dependable atomization and fan-pattern adjustment.

Confirm Coating Resistance Before Ordering
The low-resistance designation is an important system specification. According to WAGNER, the gun with its special low-resistance material hose can process compatible sprayed materials with an electrical resistance greater than 50 kΩ when measured according to the WAGNER scale.
The coating’s electrical resistance must be measured and confirmed before the package is selected or operated. Material suitability also depends on the coating formulation and its ability to accept an electrostatic charge.
Also confirm coating viscosity, chemical compatibility, required material flow, atomizing-air demand, and the appropriate fluid-delivery equipment.
Material-Supply Equipment Required
The GM 5000EAF requires a compatible low-pressure material-supply system. The selected pump or pressure tank must provide stable material delivery without exceeding the gun’s maximum material-pressure rating.
Additional equipment may include:
- Compatible low-pressure pump or pressure tank
- Fluid-pressure regulator
- Material filter appropriate for the selected nozzle
- Material suction or supply equipment
- Properly rated fluid and air hoses
- Clean, dry, regulated atomizing air
- Approved grounding equipment
Grounding and Installation Requirements
Proper workpiece grounding, clean compressed air, suitable ventilation, approved fire protection, and a correctly designed spray area are essential for safe and effective electrostatic application.
The spray gun, operator, workpiece, material supply, conductive objects in the spray area, and related equipment must be grounded according to current WAGNER instructions. Hooks and contact points must remain clean enough to provide an effective electrical path to ground.
Always follow the WAGNER operating manual and all applicable fire, electrical, environmental, occupational-safety, and hazardous-location requirements.
