Abstract:
An airless spray painting system comprising:a housing comprised of a single fluid transfer pump, an intake, and an output coupler adapted to be connected to a paint supply line leading to a spray gun; a wash-out element including: a plurality of paint supply line couplers configured to be simultaneously coupled to a plurality of paint supply lines; a body having: (a) a pump output coupler integrally coupled to the fluid transfer pump; (b) a wash-out coupler configured to be coupled to a cleaning fluid/supply line; (c) a flow valve, actuable between an open position and a closed position, that controls a fluid flow between the body and the plurality of paint supply line couplers wherein when in the open position, the flow valve permits simultaneous fluid flow to the paint supply line couplers and, when the flow valve is in the closed position, the body is sealed from the paint supply line couplers; and (d) a wash-out valve, actuable between an open position and a closed position, that controls a fluid flow between the body and the washout coupler wherein, when the wash-out valve is in the open position, cleaning fluid can be directed through the pump and the wash-out coupler, and when the wash-out valve is in the closed position, the body is sealed from fluid flow from the wash-out coupler.
