3M Performance Gravity HVLP Atomizing Head Refill Kit 26714 — 1.4mm nozzle, quick-change for improved atomization

3M Performance Gravity HVLP Atomizing Head Refill Kit 26714 is a quick-change 1.4mm atomizing head designed to restore like-new spray performance on 3M gravity-feed spray systems without dismantling the gun.

Replaceable atomizing heads from 3M let you maintain precise pattern control and efficient atomization while keeping paint and coatings out of the spray gun body. The 26714 refill kit includes a 1.4mm nozzle optimized for a wide range of automotive and industrial coatings — from clearcoats and solvent-based colours to high-build primers and primer surfacers — and is built for use with the 3M Performance Spray Gun and the 3M PPS Series 2.0 spray cup system.

What performance improvements will I see after swapping to a new 3M atomizing head?

Changing the atomizing head restores consistent spray patterns, reduces overspray and improves transfer efficiency compared with a worn or partially clogged tip. Because coatings only pass through the replaceable head and not the gun body, you get repeatable results close to a new-gun baseline each change.

• Sharper, more uniform spray pattern with better edge definition
• Improved atomization for smoother finishes and less orange peel
• Higher transfer efficiency reduces wasted material and saves time

How does the 1.4mm 26714 nozzle handle different coatings?

The 1.4mm size in the 26714 kit is versatile for medium-viscosity materials, making it suitable for clearcoats, solvent-based colours, single-stage topcoats, and a range of primers and sealers. It balances flow and atomization so you can spray thin clears or higher-build primers with controlled deposition.

• Clearcoats and direct gloss topcoats: smooth, even laydown
• Solvent-based and waterborne paints: adaptable flow with proper thinning
• Primers, primer surfacers, and high-build primers: consistent coverage and reduced runs

What makes these atomizing heads easier to clean and maintain?

Because all fluid flows only through the replaceable atomizing head, routine maintenance is faster and less messy — often limited to swapping the nozzle or a targeted tip clean instead of full gun disassembly. The specially designed locking collar secures the head without extra tools, so changeouts are quick and reliable on the shop floor.

• Replaceable fluid tip prevents paint from entering gun body
• Tool-free locking collar for fast removal and installation
• Compatible with PPS Series 2.0 to minimize cup contamination and waste

How does the 26714 atomizing head fit into the 3M spray system workflow?

The 26714 head is a drop-in consumable for the 3M Performance Spray Gun used with 3M PPS Series 2.0 cups, simplifying job setup and cleanup. Swap the head for different materials or to refresh performance between jobs; the system reduces solvent use and downtime associated with soaking and rebuilding traditional guns.

• Designed for gravity-feed PPS cups for cleaner material handling
• Quick-change heads let you switch materials faster with less risk of cross-contamination
• Minimal gun teardown reduces bench time and solvent exposure

Who is this for: The 3M Performance Gravity HVLP Atomizing Head Refill Kit 26714 is aimed at professional automotive refinishers, industrial coaters and busy body shops that demand consistent, high-quality finishes and rapid turnaround. It’s particularly useful for teams that use the 3M Performance Spray Gun and PPS Series 2.0 cups and want to reduce cleanup time, material waste and variability between jobs. If you need reliable 1.4mm atomization for clearcoats, topcoats or a variety of primers, this replaceable head offers a practical way to maintain premium spray results without major equipment downtime.
