3M Performance Gravity HVLP Atomizing Head Refill Kit 26720 — 2.0 nozzle for high-viscosity coatings, quick-change clean-up

3M Performance Gravity HVLP Atomizing Head Refill Kit 26720 is a 2.0-size quick-change gravity-feed nozzle that restores like-new spray performance for high-viscosity coatings and sprayable fillers. The 3M 26720 atomizing head is a replaceable fluid tip engineered for the 3M Performance Spray Gun and PPS Series 2.0 spray cup system, giving technicians consistent pattern control and atomization without running coatings through the gun body. By containing paint flow within the atomizing head only, each nozzle swap effectively renews the spray interface, reducing contamination risk and streamlining cleanup. This refill kit is intended for industrial and occupational applications and pairs with gravity-feed PPS 2.0 components to minimize waste and mess compared with metal cup systems.

How does this 2.0 nozzle improve spray quality for heavy coatings?

The 2.0 atomizing head is sized to handle higher-viscosity materials and sprayable fillers, producing a controlled fan and effective droplet breakup for consistent coverage. It maintains transfer efficiency while allowing professionals to apply thicker products without forcing them through the gun body.

• Specifically optimized 2.0 fluid orifice for thick primers and fillers
• Consistent fan pattern and droplet size for even laydown
• Designed for gravity-feed flow with PPS Series 2.0 cups
• Improves work speed by reducing runs and rework

What makes the replaceable atomizing head system better for cleanup?

Because coatings only contact the atomizing head—not the spray gun body—cleanup becomes faster and less solvent-intensive. You can swap the nozzle for a fresh one or perform a brief, targeted cleaning of the fluid tip instead of disassembling the entire gun for soaking.

• Paint never passes through gun body; limits internal contamination
• Quick-change nozzle design requires no tools to swap
• Compatible with PPS 2.0 disposable cup liners for low-waste cleanup
• Reduces downtime between color or product changes

Is the 26720 head easy to install and secure during use?

Installation is simple: the atomizing head mounts on the spray gun needle and is locked in place by a specially designed collar. This engagement keeps the nozzle aligned and stable under typical jobsite air and material pressures, so you get repeatable results without additional fittings or tools.

• Locking collar secures the atomizing head to the gun body
• No extra tools required for changeouts or replacements
• Stable attachment minimizes leaks and misalignment
• Works with 3M Performance Spray Gun needle assemblies and whip hose fittings

Who is this replacement nozzle best suited for? The 3M 26720 2.0 atomizing head is aimed at professional refinishers, shops, and industrial painters who routinely apply high-build primers, sprayable fillers, sealers and heavy single-stage or clearcoat systems. If you rely on gravity-feed PPS 2.0 cups and need reliable pattern control with faster turnaround and simpler maintenance, this refill nozzle preserves spray quality while cutting cleanup time. Note: intended for industrial/occupational use only, not for consumer sale or household applications.

FAQ

Q: Can this atomizing head handle waterborne paints?

A: Yes — the 2.0 atomizing head is compatible with many waterborne coatings and heavier solvent systems when used with the 3M PPS 2.0 gravity-feed setup.

Q: Do I need tools to change the nozzle?

A: No — the quick-change atomizing head installs and locks into place using the collar without any additional tools.
