AirCraft Gravity Feed Spray Gun Paint Cup Ventilator Head (SG AS1001P-28)

At a Glance: Ventilator cap that prevents vacuum lock and keeps paint flowing

The AirCraft SG AS1001P-28 Ventilator Head is the small but essential cap component used on a gravity feed spray gun paint container. Its job is simple: let the cup breathe. As paint leaves the container, air must enter to prevent a vacuum forming, otherwise your spray pattern can sputter, starve, or become inconsistent. Replacing a cracked, blocked, or missing ventilator head helps restore smooth paint flow and steady atomisation for cleaner, more predictable results.

Steady Flow Starts With Proper Cup Venting

A gravity feed cup relies on controlled venting to maintain pressure balance. The SG AS1001P-28 ventilator head helps avoid “glugging”, surging, and spray interruptions by allowing air into the paint cup as the coating is drawn into the gun.

  • Supports consistent venting Helps prevent vacuum lock that can cause sputtering and uneven spray.
  • Direct replacement spare part Ideal when the original cap is damaged, missing, or blocked with dried paint.
  • Easy to maintain Simple component that can be cleaned as part of routine spray gun care.

Benefits

  • More consistent spray pattern: Helps maintain smooth paint flow for steadier atomisation and better finish quality.
  • Less frustration and downtime: A quick replacement can solve common cup-flow issues without major repairs.

Extra Information

  • Blocked venting often shows up as sputtering, pulsing, or the gun spraying well only when the cup lid is loosened.
  • Clean the ventilator area after use to prevent dried paint from restricting airflow, especially with fast-drying coatings.

Pro Tip

  • After cleaning your spray gun, run a little suitable cleaner through and gently check the cup vent is clear. A clear vent = a calm, consistent spray pattern.
