Abstract
There is provided a reversible spray tip or nozzle used with a spray gun or like device for hydraulically atomizing and spraying liquids such as paint. The spray tip includes a plastic housing having a forward extending spray tip guard integral therewith, a cylindrically shaped rotatable turret member diametrically received for rotation in the housing and having a diametric bore therethrough for receipt of a spray tip insert, and an elongated seal insert axially received in the housing upstream from the turret member. A securing nut rotatably mounted to the housing at the spray gun end thereof secures the reversible spray tip to the discharge end of the spray gun. The enhanced sealing effectiveness of the reversible spray tip permits effective sealing of the assembly by finger tightening of the securing nut.
