Abstract
A valve for dispensing liquids having a high content of particulate material through a spray gun operates between open and closed positions which ensures continuous recirculation of at least a portion of the spray material. The spray gun has an inlet nipple and an outlet nipple for the spray material and the valve has a valve element with a hollow interior providing a flow passage for continuous communication between the inlet and outlet nipples. In the open position only a part of the circulating liquid is discharged through the spray nozzle and in the closed position, all of the material is recirculated. The valve element has a forward position which in the open position apportions the flow of liquid between the interior of the nozzle and the interior of the valve element, and a closed position which blocks flow from the inlet nipple to the interior of the nozzle and directs all of the flow through the valve interior to the outlet nipple.
