Note the notch that is cast into the c o n t rol knob on the valve. Air flow is at its
fullest when the knob is set at the 12:00 position. Rotating the valve 180° either
direction cuts off the air.
The air control valve is used when spraying with light viscosity materials or
in confined areas, such as cabinets or lockers. When spraying light material,
full air is not needed. Restrict the valve until you achieve proper atomization
without excess overspray.
The amount of paint fed

size and material flow are consistently obtained on each pass.
The external packing nut, located directly in front of the trigger, is used to
adjust the packing so a seal is maintained around the needle.

cup pressure. CAPSPRAY's
one-way valve prevents paint
from seeping up the air tube
into the air passages of the gun.
It also eliminates any delay in
material flow when the gun
is triggered.
CAPSPRAY's one-way valve is
easily detached for cleaning purposes. The valve simply rotates to open for
cleaning and contains a disk that can be removed and cleaned with soap and
