With either connection, the conduit prevents dripping of paint from the vent upon manipulation of the gun by an operator, and with the connection of the vent with the compressed air a positive pressure is generated within the container to increase the paint flow rate from the gun.Field of SearchHolder coupled to gas supply sourceParallel pressure flows to holder and pressure reducer Branched flow from main stream to holder Air and liquid flow paths combine upstream of spray outlet Unitary mounting for pressure fluid inlet and liquid outlet Air and liquid flow paths combine upstream of spray outlet Flow control by venting pressure fluid to atmosphere Fluid pressure in carrier supply line is vented | |
