The 773-028 Retainer Clip is a retention hardware component used in select HVLP AirSpray spray guns. Its purpose is to secure designated gun components so they remain properly positioned during trigger movement and spraying operation.
Retainer clips are subject to stress during disassembly and cleaning. If a clip becomes bent, stretched, or loses tension, it may no longer hold components securely, leading to looseness or inconsistent gun behavior. Replacing the clip helps restore correct retention.
