SOLVENT EFFECTS ON NO. 2 HANDGUN BELL / BRUSH WEAR
DO NOT SOAK the No. 2 Handgun Bells in any solvent. Soaking will deteriorate the bell’s performance and void
warranty.
Comprehensive testing conducted on the No. 2 Handgun bells has determined the effect of cleaning bells in different
solvents. The following will serve as a guideline for solvents selected for cleaning No. 2 Handgun bells.
• No. 2 Handgun bells should never be soaked in any solvent. Soaking will affect the electrical properties of the bell
and produce poor spray performance. Soaking will also void any warranty of the bell.
• Cleaning of the No. 2 Handgun bell with any of the following solvents will have a harmful effect on the bell's
conductivity.
○ Methyl Ethyl Ketone [MEK] (141-78-6)
○ Acetone (67-64-1)
○ Methylene Chloride (75-09-2)
○ Lacquer Thinner
○ Epoxy Reducers with contain Ketones
NOTE: Acetone has become a very popular solvent of use because of its EPA status. This solvent should be
avoided when working with the No. 2 Handgun. It not only affects the bell performance, but also has a very low
flash point (-18°F). No. 2 Handgun bells should NOT be cleaned in it and the use of coatings containing Acetone
should be avoided.
• Some solvent blends containing Glycol Ether will not affect the electrical conductivity of the No. 2 Handgun bell but
do cause a problem with pattern size. Glycol Ethers leave a conductive residue on the insulating hub of the bell,
which leaks voltage from the rim across the probe of the bell. This results in an enlarged center hole pattern and
decreased atomization. Some of these solvents are:
○ Butyl Cellosolve (111-76-2)
○ Methyl Cellosolve (109-86-4)
○ Ethyl Cellosolve (110-80-5)
• To avoid problems with atomization and achieve the maximum length of life for the bells, the solvents suggested for
cleaning (not soaking) are:
○ Toluene (108-88-3)
○ Xylene (1330-02-07)
○ Mineral Spirits
○ Solvesso-100
○ Solvesso-150
In very high humidity environments spray pattern and hole size may become unacceptably large. In
these instances, you may wish to try the Florida Bell (P/N 11488-01).

NO. 2 HANDGUN BRUSH POSITIONING AND WEAR
When installing the electrical contact brush (P/N 3695-00), it is important that it is properly positioned to provide LIGHT
CONTACT with the bell conductive coating. Excessive contact pressure from the contact brush will wear away the
conductive coating or the brush tip, causing poor electrical contact. The small plastic pad at the tip of the brush arm
should lightly contact the black bell coating, not the wire. The tip of the brush should not extend past the edge of the
bell cup or into the radius at the edge (see Figure 2).
The brush should normally have a slight curve to the arm. The more pressure applied the lesser the curve (see Figure
1). The tip of the brush assembly must be inspected prior to each use for wear. When one-half (1/2) of the plastic tip is
worn away the brush assembly should be replaced (see Figure 3). (Note: When the radius portion of the plastic tip is
gone, this is equal to one-half of the brush tip.)
