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.
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.
Features
- Designed for gravity feed paint cups Functions as the ventilator cap on the spray gun paint container.
- 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.
Safety
- Wear eye, ear and dust protection and use appropriate respiratory protection when spraying or cleaning spray equipment.
- Work in a well-ventilated area and keep solvents/paint away from sparks, flames, and heat sources.
- Depressurise the spray gun and disconnect the air supply before removing or fitting cup components.
- Dispose of paint and cleaning waste responsibly and follow the coating manufacturer’s safety instructions.
