3M Performance Gravity HVLP Atomizing Head Refill Kit 1.4mm (26714) — quick-change nozzle that restores spray performance for PPS

When you need consistent patterns, fine atomization and fast cleanup on automotive and industrial coatings, replacing the atomizing head gives you predictable results without disassembling the gun. This 26714 refill kit contains a 1.4 size nozzle engineered for clearcoats, single-stage topcoats, primer sealers and many solvent- or waterborne finishes. Because coatings pass only through the atomizing head and not the gun body, you get the feel of a new spray gun every replacement while minimizing contamination and waste when used with the 3M PPS Series 2.0 cup system.

How does swapping the 3M atomizing head improve spray consistency?

Replacing the atomizing head resets the components that directly shape the fluid flow and air pattern. Over time fluid tips clog or wear, altering spray width and droplet size; a fresh head restores original tolerances and repeatable results.

• Only the nozzle contacts paint—nozzles replaceable in seconds without tools
• Returns original pattern control and transfer efficiency
• Reduces variability between jobs for predictable color and gloss

What coatings and jobs are best suited to the 1.4 nozzle in kit 26714?

The 1.4mm atomizing head is tuned for mid-viscosity coatings and common refinishing tasks. It balances flow and atomization for clearcoats, single-stage topcoats, primer sealers and many high-build primers, making it a good general-purpose choice for bodyshops and industrial finishing lines.

• Clearcoats and solvent or waterborne topcoats
• Primer surfacers, primer sealers and wet-on-wet primers
• High-build primers and sprayable fillers when using recommended settings

How does using the PPS Series 2.0 cup system with these nozzles cut cleanup time?

The PPS Series 2.0 system isolates paint in disposable liners and only routes coatings through the atomizing head. That reduces solvent exposure to the gun body, lowers cross-contamination risk and often eliminates lengthy disassembly and soak-down procedures.

• Disposable liners reduce material waste and cup contamination
• No paint passes through the gun body—clean or replace the nozzle instead
• Faster changeovers and less solvent use between color changes

How secure and simple is nozzle installation on the 3M Performance gun?

The atomizing head locks in place with a specially designed collar and mates directly to the gun needle and fittings. The system requires no extra tools for a swap, so field or shop replacements are quick and reliable when following manufacturer torque and seating steps.

• Locking collar secures nozzle and prevents leaks or loosening
• Quick-change design: remove, clean or replace, then reinstall
• Compatible only with 3M Performance Spray Gun System and PPS Series 2.0 components

Who is this for: The 3M Performance Gravity HVLP Atomizing Head Refill Kit 26714 is aimed at auto body technicians, industrial refinishers and shops that demand consistent spray patterns, reduced downtime and cleaner changeovers. If you use the 3M Performance Spray Gun System and PPS Series 2.0 cups and you spray clearcoats, single-stage topcoats, primers or similar coatings, this 1.4mm nozzle kit helps keep your output uniform while simplifying maintenance.
