Part number 0555850 is a prime/spray valve assembly that directs fluid flow for priming or spraying operations in compatible sprayer systems. This valve allows the operator to recirculate fluid during startup or divert it to the gun for spraying. It is compatible with SprayTech AirCoat NEW and SprayTech ED655 Plus models. Replacing a worn or leaking prime/spray valve restores proper flow control and prevents material waste.

The 0555850 prime/spray valve assembly is a critical fluid control component that directs the flow of coating material within compatible sprayer systems. It is specifically designed for use with SprayTech AirCoat NEW and SprayTech ED655 Plus models. This valve allows the operator to select between two modes: prime mode, which recirculates fluid back to the container for mixing or purging air, and spray mode, which directs fluid to the gun for application. The valve typically features a handle or knob that rotates to switch between positions, with internal seals that ensure positive shutoff in each mode. Proper operation of this valve is essential for efficient priming and consistent spraying. Over time, the valve can wear due to abrasion from paint particles, chemical attack, or seal degradation. A faulty valve may leak, fail to fully switch modes, or allow fluid to bypass. Symptoms include difficulty priming, material leaking from the valve body, or inability to build pressure. Replacing a worn prime/spray valve with this genuine assembly restores positive flow control and reliable operation. This ensures that the sprayer can be properly primed and that material is delivered to the gun only when desired. Regular inspection and replacement of this valve is recommended for maintaining optimal performance.
