Grumpy Old Git Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I'm refurbishing a couple of Air Compressors - One I'll keep (probably) and one I'll sell.As part of the project, I have got hold of some 'bits' from a Car Boot (unused and very cheap!) but I need a 'nozzle' or 'tip' (whatever the correct term is?) for the 'Atomiser' attachment as shown in the pictures. The bit I think I need attaches to the end of the 'nozzle' and is where the contents of the can and the jet of air are mixed. This should attach to the threaded end of the 'nozzle' as shown in the second picture.So the questions for you experts out there are:1. What is this 'tip' actually called and where can I get one?2. What is the use of this Air Tool - Is it for spraying water, paint, or something else entirely?Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megawatt Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Could be sand blaster, soda blaster or what you said. You probably will have to make one or buy a complete unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Old Git Posted May 13, 2018 Author Share Posted May 13, 2018 As they are threaded fit and you can get different sizes - surely you must be able to buy them individually. I can find lots of the 'Y' shaped paint spray nozzles but can't seem to identify the tapered nozzle (or 'tip') that I need for this tool.

mikestrivens Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 What you have there is a paraffin spray gun, e.g. from Machine Mart:https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/26c-paraffin-spray-gun/I use such a gun for spraying AFC-50 on my bike and other things. Also useful for any other liquid really. You should be able to the get the spray tip from Machine Mart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 They are dirt cheap so it's probably as cheap to replace the whole unit if needed. I use that kind of gun for spraying oil into car sills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its an underseal gun for the likes of waxoyl . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Old Git Posted May 14, 2018 Author Share Posted May 14, 2018 Thanks to all that replied - it is a Paraffin / Diesel / Fence Paint / Light Oil Spray Gun.The Part Number is 333 2The manufacturer does not supply spares!Anyone want a brand new tool (sans nozzle tip) to 'upgrade' their current one (if it is rusty or dented)?
