SprayTech part 0276449 is an air cap used to direct compressed air for atomizing coatings on compatible HVLP spray guns. This precision component works with the fluid nozzle to shape the spray pattern and break material into a fine, consistent mist. A damaged, worn, or clogged air cap can cause poor atomization, an uneven pattern, or spitting. Replacing the air cap restores proper spray performance and finish quality on SprayTech HVLP Maxum II sprayers.

The 0276449 Air Cap is a precision component for SprayTech HVLP Maxum II spray guns. It directs compressed air through precisely engineered passages to atomize coating material into a fine, uniform spray pattern. Working in concert with the fluid nozzle, the air cap determines the shape, width, and consistency of the spray fan.
A properly functioning air cap is essential for achieving professional-quality finishes. Damage to the air cap horns, clogged air passages, or general wear can result in poor atomization, pattern distortion, spitting, or tails in the spray. Replacing a worn or damaged air cap restores optimal spray performance and ensures consistent, high-quality results.
