3M Performance Gravity HVLP Atomizing Head Refill Kit — 1.6 Size Purple 5-Pack, Quick-Change for Performance Spray Gun

3M Performance Gravity HVLP Atomizing Head Refill Kit 26716 delivers five quick-change 1.6 atomizing heads designed for high-build primers, giving you repeatable spray performance without paint traveling through the gun body. The 3M system separates fluid flow from the spray gun body by using replaceable atomizing heads that fit the 3M Performance Spray Gun and PPS 2.0 gravity cups. Because coatings only pass through the atomizing head, you get fresh fluid paths with each swap — improving consistency, simplifying cleanup, and reducing downtime between jobs. This refill pack contains five 1.6-size nozzles in purple, a size commonly used for high-build primer and primer surfacer work; always check the paint manufacturer’s guidance for final tip selection.

How do these 1.6 atomizing heads improve spray consistency?

The replaceable nozzle design ensures each spray session can start with clean, precisely formed fluid passages. That reduces variability caused by residue buildup inside a conventional gun body, so pattern control and transfer efficiency remain stable across a shift or project.

• Paint never flows through the gun body — only through the disposable atomizing head
• Uniform atomization from nozzle to nozzle reduces finish variability
• Quick-change design lowers setup time between jobs

Can I use these nozzles with my existing PPS 2.0 cups and Performance Spray Gun?

Yes — these atomizing heads are made specifically for the 3M Performance Spray Gun used with PPS Series 2.0 gravity-feed spray cups. They attach directly to the gun needle and lock in place with the specially designed collar, so no extra tools are required for changeouts.

• Designed for 3M Performance Spray Gun and PPS 2.0 integration
• Locking collar secures nozzle to gun and whip hose
• Tool-free removal and replacement for fast maintenance

What jobs are best suited to a 1.6 nozzle size?

The 1.6 atomizing head is a typical starting point for high-build primer and primer surfacer applications, where you need heavier film build with reliable coverage. While 1.6 works well for these coatings, verify with your paint supplier to match fluid viscosity and desired transfer characteristics.

• Ideal for high-build primers and primer surfacers
• Balances material flow with controlled atomization for thicker coats
• Consult paint manufacturer for exact tip sizing recommendations

How does this kit simplify cleanup and reduce waste?

Because coatings only pass through the disposable atomizing head and PPS cup liners, you avoid sending paint through the gun body and can minimize solvent-soak maintenance. Replace each nozzle when needed or clean the fluid tip appropriately to reuse; the system is built to cut material waste and speed turnaround.

• PPS 2.0 liners reduce paint leftover and cup mess
• No need to disassemble the gun body for internal cleaning in many cases
• Swap or clean atomizing heads quickly to resume spraying

Who is this for? This five-pack of 3M 1.6 atomizing heads is aimed at industrial and professional refinishers, assembly-line technicians, and automotive or industrial paint shops using the 3M Performance Spray Gun and PPS Series 2.0. It suits teams that prioritize consistent pattern control, faster changeovers, and reduced solvent exposure — and anyone who needs a reliable nozzle size for high-build primer applications. Note: for occupational use only; not intended for consumer sale or household use.

FAQ

Q: Are these nozzles compatible with any spray gun?

A: No. These atomizing heads are made specifically for the 3M Performance Spray Gun and PPS Series 2.0 gravity cups.

Q: Can I reuse the 1.6 atomizing heads after cleaning?

A: Yes. You can appropriately clean the fluid tip and reuse them, or replace them quickly for a fresh fluid path.
