Abstract: An inlet filter includes a cap and a body that are securely connectable to one another. Once connected, these elements form the structural backbone of the filter. Disposed between the cap and body is a transparent cover that allows one to view a filtering screen located within. Thus, the inlet filter serves to remove particulate matter from a supply of water prior to supplying it to a high pressure sprayer or similar device. As the filtering screen becomes clogged, its status can be visually determined. Thus a clear and readily apparent indication is presented as to when the filter needs to be cleaned or replaced.

Abstract: The reversible spray tip assembly has a rotatable turret which may be reversed for cleaning and unclogging. The function of a diffuser is performed by a diffusing member which serves to retain the airless spray tip carbide within the rotatable member and which has an arc shaped aperture located off center and parallel to the circumference of the diametrical passage so as to in effect deflect the stream of fluid flowing through the tip sufficiently to prevent spraying of a coherent stream.

Abstract: A paint flow controller for insertion into a continuous flow pressure feed recirculating paint supply system where a portion of the recirculating paint is bled off through an externally adjustable, annular metering orifice for supply through a connector to a paint spray gun.
