Abstract
A spray tip assembly for airless fluid spraying includes the spray tip assembly and an adapter for mounting on a spray gun barrel. The spray tip assembly has a housing with a longitudinal through-running passage way in which a member carrying an orifice spray tip is mounted. The discharge end of the spray tip assembly includes a spray guard and the opposite end of the spray tip assembly is secured by the adapter to the barrel of a spray gun through which material to be sprayed is conducted to the spray tip assembly. In one embodiment of the invention the orifice of the spray tip assembly is carried in a cylindrical body which is rotatably mounted in the housing of the spray tip assembly so that the orifice can be reversed for cleaning purposes. In another embodiment the orifice is fixedly seated in the tip assembly and is not reversible. Components of the assembly are secured by at least one threaded locking element and sealing between components of the assembly is provided by annular polytetrafluorethylene resin sealing members having a compression ratio of between about 20% and about 40% to effect sealing between components simply by hand tightening the locking element.
