HVLP NOZZLE REFILL KIT SPRAY 1.3

What is the 3M HVLP Nozzle Refill Kit Spray 1.3 and why choose it

The 3M HVLP Nozzle Refill Kit Spray 1.3 is a refill pack of 1.3 mm gravity-feed HVLP atomizing heads designed for the 3M Performance Spray Gun and the 3M PPS Series 2.0 gravity cup system. Each kit provides quick-change, disposable nozzles that help restore like-new spray performance every time you replace the head, reducing cleaning time and improving process consistency. Based on publicly available information, this kit corresponds to the 3M Performance Gravity HVLP Atomizing Head Refill Kit, 1.3 mm, green (part number 26713), but this equivalence is not fully verified for your specific SKU and should be checked against the official 3M documentation.

The 1.3 mm size is commonly used for many automotive and industrial topcoats, clearcoats and basecoats, offering a good balance between fine atomization and material flow. The disposable atomizing head concept keeps paint out of the gun body, simplifying maintenance and helping to maintain consistent spray quality over time.

Some details below are derived from general information about the 3M Performance Gravity HVLP Atomizing Head Refill range and may not be fully verified for this exact product code. Always consult the official 3M technical and safety datasheets before use.

Main features

Applications and use cases

• Automotive refinish: application of basecoats and clearcoats on panels, spot repairs and complete resprays, where a 1.3 mm nozzle is commonly selected for fine atomization and smooth finishes (general practice, not a setting recommendation).
• Industrial painting: finishing of machinery, metal structures and components with solvent- or water-based coatings compatible with gravity HVLP systems, following coating manufacturer guidelines.
• Color changes and quick turnaround: the quick-change disposable head design is especially useful in workflows with frequent color or material changes, helping reduce cleaning time compared to traditional fixed-nozzle guns.
• Process standardization: using fresh atomizing heads regularly can help maintain more consistent spray patterns across different operators and shifts.

The suitability of the 1.3 mm size for a specific coating (primer, base, clear, sealer, etc.) depends on the product’s viscosity and the recommendations of the coating manufacturer. Always follow the coating technical data sheet and 3M’s official guidance.

FAQ

1. Is this nozzle kit compatible with any spray gun?

   No. Public information indicates that these 1.3 mm HVLP atomizing heads are designed specifically for the 3M Performance Spray Gun used with the 3M PPS Series 2.0 gravity cup system. Compatibility with other guns is not verified and should not be assumed.

2. What materials can I spray with the 1.3 mm HVLP nozzle?

   According to general 3M documentation for the gravity HVLP range, these heads can be used for many automotive and industrial coatings such as paints, clear coats and topcoats, as long as they are compatible with HVLP application and the 3M system. Always confirm suitability in the coating manufacturer’s technical sheet and the official 3M documentation.

3. Are the atomizing heads reusable?

   The design is based on quick-change, disposable heads that provide like-new spray performance when replaced.
