Abstract: Apparatus and method for delivering single or multi-component material through a disposable delivery tube and atomizing the material into a spray pattern of substantially uniform dispersion. The apparatus includes a tubular manifold having an opening for receiving a disposable delivery tube with the exit end or nozzle of the delivery tube projecting out from the end of the manifold. A plurality of atomizer holes are formed in the end of the manifold surrounding the hole which receives the nozzle end of the delivery tube. A source of air under pressure is connected to direct air through the atomizer holes. An air cap is mounted to the manifold to direct air passing through the atomizer holes about the nozzle of the delivery tube to atomize the delivered material into a uniform spray pattern without the material coming into contact with either the manifold or the air cap.
