SprayTech part 0276455 is an air cap, set no. 4 designed for use with HVLP spray guns to direct compressed air for atomizing coatings. As part of a projector set, 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 0276455 Air Cap, Set No. 4 is a precision component for SprayTech HVLP Maxum II spray guns. As part of a complete projector set—which includes the needle assembly, fluid nozzle, and air cap—this air cap directs compressed air through precisely engineered passages to atomize coating material into a fine, uniform spray pattern [citation:1]. 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.
