The SprayTech 0278655 Inlet Cap is a genuine OEM component used to seal the material inlet port on the SprayTech AirCoat system (Model Number 0508074A). It provides a secure, leak‑proof connection between the fluid supply hose and the spray unit, ensuring that coating material is delivered consistently without air ingestion or contamination.
Over time, the inlet cap may become cracked from overtightening, worn from repeated connection cycles, or lost during maintenance. A damaged or missing cap can lead to material leakage, loss of prime, and inconsistent spray performance. Replacing the cap with the correct 0278655 part restores a reliable seal and maintains the integrity of the AirCoat system.

When replacing the inlet cap, it is common to inspect or replace associated components that may be worn or damaged.
The strainer inside the inlet can become clogged; clean or replace to ensure proper material flow.
Check the mating fitting on the hose for damage or debris that may have caused cap wear.
If the cap uses a separate seal, inspect and replace it along with the cap.
