The SFlow 7/8" Universal from Sames North America is an evolution of the SFlow Airless gun. The spray gun is available in a 275 bar (4000 psi) version and a 470 bar (6820 psi) version — with two and/or four finger triggers. The company says the ergonomic design offers flexibility in extreme conditions and is well suited for handling high solid content paints and high rich zinc primers. The SFlow 7/8" Universal body also features 7/8" threads with tip bases, making it common to the industry and enabling the use of competition tips.

The SFlow 7/8" Universal differs from previous versions of the SFlow, now featuring updated part numbers addressing different fluid pressures, both two and four finger triggers, and fluid inlet sizes (1/4" NPS & ½" JIC). The previous version SFlow is still available with the 25 × 175 threaded body and tip bases.

In addition, Sames North America says the benefits of the SFlow 7/8" Universal include a high transfer efficiency of 81%, good atomization quality and a 7/8"​​​​​​​ Universal front thread tip guard.
