A faucet adapter for flushing paint from portable painting equipment tubing has a first end formed of an elastomer with an internal conical recess for coupling to one of a plurality of faaucet nozzles having varying diameters and a second end having a pair of hollow external conical projections of differing diameters, each for coupling to one of a pair of matching diameter lumens in portable painting equipment tubing with the hollow projections communicating with the internal conical recess for permitting the flow of liquid therethrough.

Paint tubing flushing adapter

It has become necessary to provide warning tags and labels on equipment such as point sprayers to protect the operators so that they will not be injured and to protect the manufacturer so that it will not be sued for product liability. Often such warning labels and tags have been attached to the packages or cartons in which the apparatus is shipped and they can become separated from the equipment so that a user does not see the warning. The present invention provides an integrally molded-in place warning label which is attached to an electric cord of an appliance, such as a paint sprayer which is molded to the electrical power cord and which can be molded to the cord at the same time that a stress release and a power connector plug are molded to the cord. The warning label may be made of the same material as a strain release device and may be made of a tough resilient material so that it cannot be torn or separated from the power cord once it has been molded. The mold may be provided with dropin type face which prints such that during molding the warning is formed on the warning label in a three-dimensional form so that it will be readily available each time the tool or machine is to be used.
