Claim 0:
1. A spray head for atomizing a fluid ejected from a fluid conduit, the spray head comprising:
a body having a longitudinal bore for receiving the fluid conduit such that a distal tip of the fluid conduit extends outwardly from a distal end of the longitudinal bore, and one or more outlets configured to direct a balanced flow of gaseous medium over the distal tip of the fluid conduit, when received within the longitudinal bore, so as to initiate atomization of the fluid as it is ejected from the distal tip of the fluid conduit,
wherein the body comprises at least two body segments that are separable in a radial direction relative to the longitudinal bore of the body, each of which defines a part of the longitudinal bore, said body segments when combined forming said body having said longitudinal bore, whereby the fluid conduit is received within the longitudinal bore by clamping said at least two body segments around the fluid conduit such that a portion of the fluid conduit is retained within the bore, and
wherein the body segments are arranged to form a fluid-tight seal between the bore and at least a portion of the fluid conduit whereby to inhibit a flow of the gaseous medium along the outside of the fluid conduit.
