3M Performance Gravity HVLP Atomizing Head Refill Kit 1.4mm — Quick-Change Nozzle, Reduced Cleanup

The 3M Performance Gravity HVLP Atomizing Head Refill Kit (26714) is a 1.4mm quick-change nozzle set that restores factory-grade spray pattern, atomization and transfer efficiency for gravity-feed spray guns.

Designed to work with the 3M Performance Spray Gun System and the 3M PPS Series 2.0 gravity cup, this refill kit replaces the atomizing head so paint and coatings only travel through the nozzle—not the spray gun body. That approach reduces cross-contamination, speeds cleanup, and keeps spray performance consistent job after job. The 1.4mm size is a versatile mid-range option suitable for clearcoats, solvent-based colours, single-stage topcoats and a variety of primers and sealers.

How does swapping the atomizing head improve spray consistency?

Replacing the atomizing head returns the gun to like-new performance because only the nozzle carries the fluid path. Over time fluid deposits and wear can change pattern shape and atomization; swapping the head restores the original geometry instantly. No full gun teardown is required, which reduces downtime and solvent use.

• Paint only contacts the replaceable nozzle, preventing contamination inside the gun
• Quick-change design removes and installs without special tools
• Maintains consistent pattern control and droplet size for predictable results

What coatings work best with the 1.4mm 26714 nozzle?

The 1.4mm atomizing head is chosen for its versatility across common automotive and industrial coatings. It balances flow and atomization to handle clearcoats, solvent-based colours and single-stage topcoats while also performing well with primers and high-build materials. Use it when you need a dependable middle-ground nozzle that avoids over-atomizing thinner materials and still handles heavier products.

• Clearcoats and topcoats for smooth, controlled finish
• Solvent-based and waterborne basecoats at recommended thinning
• Primer surfacers, high-build primers and sealers for good coverage

How does the kit simplify cleanup and maintenance?

Because coatings never pass through the spray gun body, maintenance is faster and less solvent-intensive: change the atomizing head or perform a targeted tip clean rather than disassembling the entire gun. The integrated design pairs with the PPS Series 2.0 gravity cup to reduce waste and mess, and the locking collar locks the head securely for leak-free operation.

• Swap the nozzle for quick cleanup instead of soaking the whole gun
• Compatible with PPS Series 2.0 cups to minimize material waste
• Locking collar secures head to the gun and whip hose for safe use

What installation and compatibility points should I know?

Atomizing heads in this 3M line attach directly to the Performance Spray Gun needle and fasten with the special locking collar—no extra tools required. They are built exclusively for gravity-feed applications and are part of the 3M Performance Spray Gun System, so confirm you’re using a compatible gun and PPS Series 2.0 cup before ordering. Follow your gun manual for torque and installation steps.

• Tool-free removal and installation with the locking collar
• Made for gravity-feed 3M Performance Spray Guns and PPS 2.0 cups
• Available in multiple sizes; 1.4mm recommended for versatile mid-range use

Who is this for? The 3M Performance Gravity HVLP Atomizing Head Refill Kit (26714) is aimed at professional refinishers, body shop technicians and serious DIYers who use the 3M Performance Spray Gun System and want repeatable, factory-quality spray results with faster maintenance and reduced material waste. Choose this kit if you need a dependable 1.4mm nozzle for clearcoats, topcoats and a variety of primers, and if you prefer quick-change nozzles that keep your spray gun performing like new without lengthy disassembly.
