SprayTech part 0276458 is an Air Cap, Set No. 5 used to shape and atomize the spray pattern in HVLP spray guns. This assembly directs compressed air around the fluid nozzle to break up material into a fine mist and form a consistent fan pattern. It is essential for achieving a high-quality, even finish on compatible SprayTech HVLP units.

The SprayTech 0276458 is an Air Cap, designated as Set No. 5, for HVLP spray guns. This precision component directs and focuses compressed air to atomize material exiting the fluid nozzle and shape it into a consistent, controlled fan pattern. It is a critical element for finish quality and material efficiency.
A dirty, damaged, or worn air cap can cause poor atomization, an uneven pattern, spitting, or excessive overspray. Replacing the air cap restores proper air distribution, which is essential for a smooth, professional coating application.
| Atomization | Breaks up fluid into fine droplets for a smooth finish |
|---|---|
| Pattern Shaping | Forms the spray material into a consistent fan shape |
| Air Direction | Controls the flow and volume of air around the fluid stream |
| Pattern Defects | Fan is uneven, heavy on one side, split, or has tails |
|---|---|
| Poor Atomization | Finish is rough, orange peel, or material is spitting |
| Clogging | Air ports are permanently clogged with hardened material |
| Physical Damage | Dents, corrosion, or worn ports alter air flow |
SprayTech part 0276458 is designed for the SprayTech HVLP Maxum II spray gun. This air cap is matched to work with specific fluid nozzle sets. Always confirm fitment using the correct parts diagram for your exact model and revision.

The air cap, fluid nozzle, and needle work as a system. For optimal spray performance, these components are often inspected and serviced together.
The air cap is designed to work with a specific nozzle size. A mismatched or worn nozzle will affect pattern quality.
The needle controls fluid delivery to the nozzle. A worn needle can cause leaks and pattern issues independent of the air cap.
Consistent air supply and pressure are required for the air cap to function correctly. Faulty valves cause inconsistent patterns.
